These threads bring out the real keyboard warrior. I'm sure this would go over really well for you.

Usually wash down some KK doughnuts with a thick chocolate milkshake...

I’ve done it on numerous occasions to frickboys there to flex in the mirror.
It’s one thing to take a quick break, and it’s a complete other to be updating your Tinder profile while people are waiting. If someone is being a douche about the equipment, they’re going to get called the frick out. You sound unfamiliar with gym etiquette, baw.

You sound really angry about this.
It's quite normal and reasonable to take 2-3 minutes to rest between heavy sets. Can you tell me more about your tabata circuits though?

Pace like Mike the Tiger.
The guarana tablets I used to take made me pace the black and white tile floor where I lifted.

Nah, 1 minute to 1.5 max. That’s my opinion though. 2-3 minutes is fine as long as you’re Logging notes, stretching, drinking water, catching breath, focusing on the next lift, etc...
But playing on your phone for 3 minutes in between sets is just being a dick. That’s douche status stuff

So people need to spend their 3 minutes in the manner that you want them to?
What if they're surfing through their playlist to find a good song to get in the zone for the next set?
Is running to the water fountain ok?
What if they are a novice lifter that is watching a video of a lift to ensure they have proper technique so they don't hurt themselves?
People flexing are a completely different animal. They are figs.

Mrs. Midnight likes to circuit on the machines, so she's always running into problems - she doesn't dawdle between sets - just long enough to adjust/change the weight. Folks come in and hold down the machine while fricking around on their phones and it pisses her off.
Me? I'm old school - I put my towel down on the machine or station I'm working. I do my warm up set, then 5 sets with a strict 1-minute break until I'm done with that station and then I move on.

I like to hit other body parts, like calves, abs, or traps. Smaller body parts I can knock out without having to dedicate a "time". Plus it intensifies work out

You sound like a lifting expert, you can bring your knowledge to the Health/Fitness board.
Back on topic though. Most people working out in a normal gym and not intermediate and up lifters. 85-90% are untrained or novice when it comes to barbell weights. Nobody cares if you take 5 minutes between sets using dumbbells or on a machine. Barbell stations are at a premium though, as most gyms do not like to have enough of them.
There was a woman in the squat rack yesterday morning. She did probably 10 sets of empty bar squats taking at least 3-5 minutes in between talking to her coach.

It's ok to ask if you can work in, you know...

Who takes breaks in between sets?
Man up.

It's certainly NOT doing selfies and posting on FB
