    I'm in the gym at 5 AM and often again after work around 5 PM. I have noticed virtually nobody in the morning sits on a piece of equipment using their cell phone for 5 minutes "resting" or "logging their workout". It's pretty common in the late afternoon. Funny thing if you asked the casual observer they would say the morning group was in better shape overall.

    Just my observation.

    hmmm most people at my gym I see in the am are obese beginners...I guess that means that all early am people are obese beginners....< see what I did there...

    People that exercise in between these two extremities(i.e The afternoon) are neither skinny or fat in my gym. They would probably be considered skinnyfat. ;)

    I am having an identity crisis - I often workout in the morning and the evening. In fact, weekends, I sometimes lift in the morning, afternoon and evening. I have no idea if I am in better shape, lazy, skinny fat or maybe all of the above now.

    Two days a week I do two-a-days and lifting in the morning and cardio in the afternoon. I think I'm doing those in the right order, you lift when you're fit and cardio in the afternoon when you're fat, right?

    the time of day you work out will determine your fitness level..

    so on Monday if you workout at 5am you would be "in great shape"

    however, if you went Monday at 5pm you would be "out of shape"

    if you went Monday at 12pm you would be in "OK shape"

    are we clear on this?

    Do you do these kinds of things just to be annoying?????

    How is it trolling if I'm asking you a legit question?

    How are we going to do 300+ deadlifts quietly?

    Obviously, you should use less weight for your deadlifts.

    It's the only way.

    And between sets, I highly recommend that you straddle the bar or sit on it to reduce the chances of someone taking it mistakenly thinking you were done. Leaving a towel or water bottle with it is no indication and has no bearing on its availability.

    I can see how someone summarizing the posts you've made would be annoying to you.

    I would be annoyed too if someone pointed out the inconsistency and nonsensical nature of my statements...at least for a moment. And then I would seriously reconsider them.

    But but......my gainz!!!!




    I would really like to hear what her solution would be for eliminating something that is expected in a gym, noise.

    you go to the gym for gainz?????

    I just go to steal the equipment when people get up for water breaks....

    That's not how the internet works. If random people on it affect your health, you need to leave instead of expecting them to perform within parameters meeting your expectations. In fact, that sort of applies to life in general and all interactions with other people.

    Yeah, it's a harsh thing to hear but it's true. I had a guy on here add me as a friend just to make fun of me. After getting called a fat cow, an ugly c**t, and being made fun of for having a "pig nose", the guy ended up getting banned. Yeah, I felt like crap. Especially because he just happened to make fun of things that I'm quite embarrassed about but I got over it. Join the "compliment the person above you" thread. I was blushing after that. <3

    Since she mentioned the weight stack clanging, no.

    If someone left a towel on a treadmill I would assume some kind stranger left it for me and would towel myself off accordingly - handing it back to the good Samaritan upon their return and thanking them appropriately.

    What about if we are deadlifting? Should we gently guide the weight down? What if it's 300 lbs+?

    I assume they meant for machines, not free weights. And yeah, even though it's not directly affecting my workout, it's rather annoying to listen to. Especially if I can hear it over my music.

    Don't assume you know what she meant, let her respond for herself. You're in a gym, there will be noise. You have 3 options. Get over it, join planet fitness or work out at home. It's a gym not a book club of a poetry reading.

    So a machine clanking is going to annoy you but a heavy deadlift hitting the floor won't? Or someone doing Olympic lifts letting the bar drop from over their head?

    Stop being such a lunk.
