LOL.

Congratulations. This is the stupidest thing I've read on DCUM.

Also, you need to create pressure when lifting. Sometimes, as the lift finishes, you release the pressure and it results in a noise (grunt). It happens. Get over it.

And finally. #4....the irony of #4

Yes!! Seriously. In fact, leave the phone in the locker. The ten minutes between reps isn’t doing you much good.

First, I track my lifting through an app on my phone and, second, plenty of programs require longer rest between sets (not reps).

You don't listen to music? And for me and many others, my workout program is an app on my phone.

This is because of immigrants.

- Faux News

1) coming in late
2) then setting up in front of someone
3) then being off beat

You are just a selfish ahole if you do these things.

Stop filming yourself or taking selfie’s.
Stop hogging two machines at once. Use a machine, finish your set(s) and move to another. Don’t jump between two machines.
Put your weights away. The racks are labeled by numbers.

Do you even lift bro?

clean up after yourself that means take the plates off the barbell when done, pick up DBs, yoga mats, and other equipment when finished.

Stop with the gas. It stinks already. Just because it's silent doesn't mean we can't tell where it's coming from.

STOP coming in late to classes and trying to squeeze yourself in.

It's super rude, and also dangerous when you're trying to set your late ass self up with equipment in certain classes after it's already begun. No, you're not a special careful exception.

Lol. Nope. I’m not removing 500 pounds of plates between sets. And I’m sure as hell gonna rest more than 2 minutes between sets. Deal with it.

Yeah this. It’s vastly stupid and NOBODY does this, not even women.

Thank you.

PP doesn't understand at all how to use your breath to create pressure/leverage which often results in a grunt at the end of a rep.

Now, grunting is def different than screaming "lightweight, baby!" or something like that.

But grunting is a part of weight training.

Also, no. I'm taking my plates off the bar between sets. What a stupid comment.

The only way I'll do that is if you ask to work in. Then, since I love meeting new people, I will gladly unload and reload the bar multiple times

Dumbest post of all time. Ain't no one lifting seriously is gonna take off the weights between sets while resting. Jesus, do you even seriously workout? You sound like you need lithium.
