Gym rant: Reprimanded by gym staff for something rather trivial

[Tre]

One of the LAWS in our gym is as follows: "No cell phones on the gym floor.  Please use the main lobby area for cell phone conversations."

...

I keep my training log on my iPhone (homo). 

So, after each exercise, I input the information. 

Last night, one of the gym staffers informed me that I'm not allowed to have my cell phone on the gym floor at all.  Both of us were cool about it and he said most of the staff would probably look the other way or not even notice if I made an effort to be totally discreet about it. 

Although I can certainly switch to a paper log, is my gym being overly skittish here?  (he said that there had been claims of people using their cell phones to take pictures of other people in the gym)

"Training log"..............hahah gayer than a box full of rainbows.

[MB_722]

it's a good rule.

[dyslexic]

Yeah, they use their cellphones to videotape hamsters in a duffel bag...



on the treadmills. Whatever.



There's plenty of that cheesy crap on YT.

[Tre]

I didn't push the issue, but my assumption - based on the way the LAW is written - was that people are not to talk on their phones on the gym floor.  Seems reasonable, makes sense.

[wes mantooth]

rules are absolute.

even if you are not using it in a traditional sense.....no cellphones mean...no cellphones

buy some paper and a pencil technonerd!!!

Hey, I'm not gonna front...getting back into serious lifting for the first time in a LONG time.  I need to track my progress - or lack thereof - for a period of several months before I'll be able to go back to intuitive training again. 

I ain't too proud to write my shit down.

Gay-gay would be writing down what I eat for every meal, too. lol 

[Jizzacked]

someone hogging a machine or bench while they fervently text (which you could appear to be doing) is just as bad as if they were on the phone... I do agree with this rule somewhat.

They have that rule at gym as well....but like all the others, it is not enforced.

It's funny, this one time, this fucking old tool comes up to me and tells me to not slam my weights. The irony is, ANYONE who knows me, or has trained with me knows, I don't do that shit. So, I told him, hey jag off, why don't you go bother someone else and leave me alone? Who the fuck are you, the weight police? The fucking nerve!

Funny thing shit is, I called him on being a hypocrite....why? Well, there's a rule against wearing jeans to train. Guess what, he wears some...ALWAYS. That shut him up......

I'm usually calm and nice, but for some fucking reason, this asshole just made me go off. Fucking nerve! If I had done something wrong, I would have apologized....that's the way I am.

I suppose that mentality is why you are still stuck at 405 on the squat

I'm not usually one to pick on someone who isn't making progress, but...LOL! 

My quest for a 500+ squat requires planning and it helps to have a road map, so that's why I'll be the little queer in there with his notepad.

How do you make note of what you've done, what load to use, what to strive for next session?
You gotta know if you're improving or declining.

Going to gym = improving
Not going = declining

First of all I think u fucking suck for not being able to memorize your training and or the awesome lifts
Second time to jump of the bandwagon and get yourself a mans phone - leave the IPone's to the pussies.
Third and most important - you don't deserve blue star if you haven't had the balls to tell the skinny trainer to go fuck himself - infact I bet you simply rolled over in the locker room so he could pound your ass senseless --- am I close?

[leonp1981]

It's the same rule in some strip clubs.  You could just be sending a text to someone, but if the doormen see your phone, they don't stop to ask what you were doing, they just assume you were taking pics of the girls.

Just buy a small notepad to keep track on.

your hero Dorian Yates used a training log.

for bodybuilders it's good to be able to look back at what you did a certain time. to maybe find out why you did good progress at that time.

not that i keep one myself (to lazy) but it would probably be helpfull.
