How many sets you got left, breh?

[Remote]

Had someone work in… he started curling what I was benching

Don't feel bad.
I remember my very first day when I joined a real gym many years ago...I was like 15 and I couldn't lift very much. And a woman was there benching like 155 -- which isn't a ton. But for most women, that's probably pretty good. And I wasn't even doing that. So I know what you felt.

And I would’ve said if either of you touch me, none of us will be working out today.

You made the right decision to ignore that shyt and kept on doing your thing. I’m reckless tho so I can’t go. That shyt would eat at my soul for weeks.

Oh yeah I wasn't gon back down, I ain't got a punk bone in my body. Both them nxggas was huge but there was gon be some furniture moving that day if they laid even a finger on me. I kept working out like they didn't say nothing. Got all my sets in until I got done. @Bryan Danielson knows what I'm talking about.

I do that when I see a dude on a machine who clearly doesn’t know what he’s doing and has been on it for to long.

I think comedy clubs or certain government offices have like...ways to block cell phone service.

There's a part of me that wishes gyms would block cell phones from functioning there. That wouldn't fix the issue of people lollygagging at the gym, but it would help.

And sure, people will complain. What if there's an emergency!?!?!
Clearly these people didn't grow up in a time where you didn't have a phone in your pocket 24/7. We survived just fine though.

I personally wait off to the side
I tend to do my exercises in a certain order so sometimes Id rather wait than go elsewhere

Exactly. Gotta hit a bench and the free weights first cause imma be weak after everything else.

I used to workout at this small gym and I was benching and these two swole muscle head nxggas came over staring me down.

In my head I was but I didn't say nothing and I kept working out.

Next thing I know, one of these nxggas start talking about "hey you wanna just take him off the machine bruh?"

I kept working out tho

[ThrobbingHood]

24 hour gym brehs don’t have these problems.
Nocturnal workouts.

 

[TripleAgent]

[Marco Zen]

On the flip side it to be mfs taking forever on the machine.

That may’ve been the response they were hoping to hear, cause it sounds like they was trying to put in a different type of work.

Those dudes staring be gay as hell

This is what I’ve noticed most of the time when dudes get too chatty in the gym, there’s always some weird vibe to it.

It’s only an issue for me if buddy’s been on the same machine for like 30 minutes. The squat rack is good for that. I be like “fukk it, I’ll just do something else”. You get done doing like 3 different exercises, 3-4 sets on each and them, and dude’s still there.

And even then, I’m not gonna stand around and stare at dude, shyt’s weird if you’re not gonna do anything about it.

Which reminds me, that skit got real towards the end, another reason why I won’t do that shyt, shyt looks mad homo.

Yep. Compound movements always come first.

 

[TRUEST]

Some people just aren’t smart. Can’t learn to go with the flow of whatever life throws at them. If a machine is occupied cool. Go do something else. Saw one dude just stand by staring at a girl doing bench presses. Like wtf. Poor girl dipped shortly after.
