Uh, we go to a private gym with our trainers, not some crowded stinky place full of riff raff.

Please do not be one of those annoying asses that take 3-5 minutes between sets. Nothing wrong with that, but at a public gym it is annoying as hell. Get a home gym for that.


go frick yourself. If you aren't taking 3-5 min bw sets you aren't lifting enough

Stare at other people.

But do it by looking at a reflection off at least 2 mirrors.

I try and go at off peak times so that I can do super sets with 3-4 exercises so that I don't have a ton of standing around time. If I have to wait I just work in some push ups or sit ups to keep moving.

Even at off peak times there always seems to be a person using the equipment to create new exercises when they could be using machines designed specifically for what they are trying to train. The gym that I go to has one machine for assisted pull ups and dips (your knees rest on the pad) so I have to wait as the women seem to be drawn to it like moths to a flame even though there is a clear sign on it showing it's intended use and there are 10 leg machines next to it.

What do you mean between sets?

27 min HIIT is all you need.

Then you're spending too much time there.

Circuit train.

No rest.

Keep heart rate up.

Out in 45 minutes.

I usually go around and make females feel uncomfortable. Maybe throw in some grunts for good measure.

Grunt really loud, scream and drop my weights on the floor. Then fart and wave my hand back and forth in front of my arse.
