When they leave the 100 pound weights on machines. I tell you what, I cannot lift those gracefully. 😂😂4

Way to many people with cameras and groupies to film their bad form and stupid moves.4

Darn right
It was a couple of weeks ago and I went to the gym late, late on a Sunday; like an hour or so before closing.
The place was darn near empty and I was lifting in the back of the building with nobody within 75 feet of me
I took off the mask and hopped on the bench and starting lifting.
It was glorious
It was magical
I was actually lifting and breathing
It felt like 2017 all over again
The roof suddenly opened and light appeared
It looked a lot like this:
Amen brother!
Leg day becomes a self imposed water boarding session.2 -

I feel like a heavy leg day with a mask on is hazardous. I almost passed out last time. (I’m pro mask btw)4 -

Yeah, for real. Once that surgical mask gets soaked it’s not pleasant and breathing becomes more labored. Hemoglobin probably increased for sure. 😄
I’m also not anti mask and I enjoy discomfort in training tbh. But after wearing a mask under a neck buff at work it gets old.

We nip this in the bud
Anybody who pulls out a smartphone and starts filming anyone else, other than themselves, gets called out (loudly) by several of the gym regulars
If they're filming themselves or friends to check form, that's one thing.
Filming another person without their consent is verboten.5 -

Agreed, trying to PR with a mask makes me about as crazy as people who don’t put their weights away.
