^^and this.

I spend quite a bit of time on my phone. It is used for music, my timer between sets, my logs to see what weight I'm used to lifting and/or what volume/weight will be needed for a PR, and notes like what my tempo is, what or if I use band tension, different positions, etc.

I do the same thing or if I'm trying out a new workout, I YouTube it. I used it for the stretcher the other day. :)

Most people I see at the gym bring their phones and are on it almost the entire time they aren't mid-set. Do most people on here use their phones during workouts? (Not counting just bringing it to use as an iPod)

Does skipping stupid songs on Pandora count ?
 
Today at the gym this kid working out alone started screaming bloody murder while lifting. Which i can find to be acceptable in some situations. Not this one, this one consisted of pectoral flys on the fixed machine at about 90lbs. Honestly.. I like the enthusiasm but jesus. When he was done he walked away lifting his legs like an ostrich and pumping his fists to the floor while simultaneously shrugging his shoulders up.
 
I work in a gym and see very few d-bags; most often though,I see people trying . If they happen to only be quarter squatting, ill politely show them what a deep squat looks like IF they look like they arnt doing partials for a reason. More often than not, people simply do not know what good form feels like.

When my training partner and I first started training, she told me she squats ass to grass; turns out it was only 3/4 squats. Her perception of how low she was actuslly going was a little off so we worked on it.

Sometimes offering to help will turn a "d bag" into a good gym bro. Dont hate, just help
 
the dudes standing directly infront of the dumbbell racks or within a 2 foot vicinity of where you drop your weights when finishing your set

SO annoying
 
Can we put a moratorium on Superman t-shirts? I counted 5 people wearing them today in the gym and I thought, hmmm, they can't all be Superman can they??

Oh, and yes I know the sound is better, but I am so sick of seeing huge earphones that I know damn well are hot as hell and sweaty. So you aren't wearing them for anything but style. I am not anti-headphone, but literally every other person is wearing them and it looks somewhat ridiculous.
 
lol kisaj ya i have seen quite a few of those d-bags at my gym as well

the funniest is when they have the superman underarmour compression shirts and yet they have ZERO muscle...

YES! Dude today was doing reverse delt raises on an incline within inches of the 5-50# DB rack. You literally could not go grab a DB without waiting for him to stop. Grr.

I don't know exactly what you mean. Mine cover my ears, are more durable than small wired headphones and Bluetooth compatible, an I'm not throwing away brown headphones anymore like I was.

Mine for sure are sweaty, but over time they save me money. I can't speak for the Beats that are connected to wires.

Eh. Dunno if that's douchebag worthy, IMO. I really don't care what anyone is wearing as it doesn't affect my gym time. I find it humorous that some dudes wear very loud matching clothing with fluorescent high socks, hoodies for 3mph treadmill walks then strip them for a whole lotta nothing.

I possibly look goofy in my black shirt, dark shorts, head phones and WO binder with phone log, but I cleanup and rerack after myself.
 
Someone walked by me while I was benching and said, "oh, you have chalk. I was going to bring my chalk, too, but I said nah, this gym is too nice!" O.o

even worse is when skinny dudes with no muscle try to workout with their shirts off... #werenotimpressedbro lol

Any gym I've been in will kick you out for not wearing a shirt, on a similar not I always chuckle a bit when I see scrawny dudes wearing shirts that say beast mode or at the people walking around like Darth Vader with their elevation masks on (most of them have an excuse though as they're training up for airborne or air assault school)

Training up for airborne school? Wow.....


How would an elevation mask even help that, its not like airborne school is hard to get through.
 
Wouldn't know I asked a guy why he was wearing the mask and that was his answer, you couldn't pay me to jump out of a perfectly good airplane

Saw a guy wearing that mask and this old guy on the stairmaster was like "hey buddy it ain't Halloween yet" with one of those thick New York accents. Was pretty funny

You and I both know there is nothing perfectly good about military equipment (including the planes).

Crossfit is quite challenging..
I've been fkn with some CF moves just for the fk of it n I liiike iiiit!!!!
:)
 
There is nothing fundamentally wrong or innovative with CF and there is a place for it, especially if someone requires motivation in a group atmosphere. The negatives are inexperienced trainers and students doing Oly lifts against time, lack of structure/consistency, and the obvious attitude that can accompany. The pros are getting more people into fitness, no isolation work, and booties. Oh, the booties.
