How many of you use an mp3 player in the gym?

[240 is Back]

I am using one tomorrow for the first time.   Just figured I'd get your take on if it really improves things- or if it's more of a distraction/pain in the ass.  Will be doing thighs, hams, calves. thanks!

[TOMCAT]

I have a I-pod shuffle and I love it.

it is the size of a cig lighter and the sound quality is awesome.

I wear it like a neckless and it holds 100 songs


one of the best gym accessories I ever bought

[Bast175]

I talk to people too damn much in the gym to wear one, lol.   Also I'm worried the wire will get in my way.  A wireless ipod would be nice which you can get.

Juice will improve things not an ipod.  haha

Ipod/Mp3 players are sick, just not in the gym.  I find it to big of a distraction.  Always looking for the right song, headphones always falling out.  But whatever...

Yea.  Also I'm always somewhere where I can listen to music,  my computer, my car.  At other times I don't want to listen to music so I wouldn't even use an mp3 player.

Yeah 240, iPods are cool.  Probably moreso for cardio than weights, as it's more fun to converse amongst friends while lifting than listen to an iPod whose wires and playlist you've gotta keep a constant eye on...although in the final weeks before a show you'll probably start donning it anytime you're outsida your house...kinda helps keep you a more tolerable distance from the "sheeple."

Yeaaaaah, I don't think you understand Nietzsche.

Well then that makes 2 of us, don't it buddy?   

[weedoutheweak]

"don't it buddy" = do not it buddy

? ? ?

[Bast175]

it's slang for God's sake.

Man where do you get this stuff?     Hey is that really you in that Jay Cutler picture?   

[240 is Back]

Waste of time/concentration... In my opinion if you need music to get motivated, you may have larger problems.

My gym is housewife central during the day.  I'm smart enough not to talk to em. As I eat more protein, i have found I can now train longer, and it gets mighty boring spending 75 minutes alone in the leg area.  Tomrrow I will have classic aerosmith, old tool, and some assorted jay-z on this old samsung i found today.

Is that code for something I should be concerned about commenting back to you (in code) on?  Because otherwise, I'm just gonna leave that one alone.   

[Karl Kox]

I don't think it is a pain or nothing it helps me.    Just run the headphone cord inside your shirt.

nope.  But if you have something creative, go for it! &guy is slower than Arvilla's bowels at this hour.

Actually this place is starting to sound like it's coming around lately.

That's what I mean.. getting bored at the 75th minute mark would mean to me you gotta find another hobby that can hold your concentration... Man, if I had the energy and the $$ in the bank.. I would spend the whole day working out. 

See, my problem is, I work very fast and very efficiently all day long, multitasking while working here in the recliner.  It's hard to sit still at the gym between sets. My mind starts wandering to work I have to do, and then I'm watching the clock...

[240 is Back]

I am watching the clock right now  .. 4:20pm (almost quitting time).... 

holy crap. what country u in?  It's 2:20 am here. nearly bedtime.

[doozejooze]

I love my MP3 player. It took me a while to get one but now that I've got it, it's-  "Lights out, rear shuffle-loop,ain't nothing but a wing-nut, turn-over fun"  This last sentence was phenomenal.

[240 is Back]

i just did a website for a tanning company in NZ.  Everything is super expensive there, right? a .nz domain name costs like 8 times what it costs in the US

[rocket]

Its not that everything is really expensive.. its just that they extort for co.nz and .com.au's

I don't believe there are any "true" factors making prices that high.  Just bullshit.

Tell any company that wants a .com.au to think about just using a .com

if your other option is listening to the fagg0t-ass "golds gym network" then its actually less of a distraction, IMO
