I have to wear headphones (ear buds) when training. if I don't, I have people thinking it's social hour like it's a high school weight room.. just there to puff up their chests and bullshit, especially if you work at the gym.. people think since you're there 12hrs a day, you can workout whenever you want and they can interrupt your workouts..... plus, the music we play is complete crap. Try squatting 505, and on your 3rd rep Adele comes over the speakers... wtf. That set is wasted. or if you're on rep 3 of 225lb 20 rep squats and Blondie or Madonna comes on.. it's fucking irritating.
ear buds in & avoiding eye contact. The only way I can get a decent 35-45min workout in.
