This should be played on loop at the entrance to every gym, on every exercise bike, on TVs on every gym wall!! EVERY workout is just what Lee said! Get 4 to 6 sets in while some tool has sat on a machine looking at his phone!!! BRING BACK GYM CULTURE AND ETIQUETTE!!!!!
100% same Lee, people are too focused on their damn phones!!! If you can't train without music you can't train! We had the power go out few years ago, everyone left the gym coz no power and dark, except me and my mate as we are old school trainers and we just kept training. People are soft today
I've walked into the gym, saw a girl sit on the legpress on her phone, done my entire workout routine, walked back out with her still sitting on that legpress machine. Waste space elsewhere!
A rest period of around 5 minutes is fine for a lift to muscular failure. It's just preference, stop being a grumpy old man and telling other people how to do shit. I don't even own a phone, but ain't shit wrong with a long rest between sets, unless you're hogging a machine at a busy place.
I use my dad's old garage as my lil Gym Cave so I try not go on my phone as much while I'm out there, (kinda hard not to though since I need it to play my music through the speaker🤣☠️🎶)
Best gym advice ever. Even back in the 90's when MP3 players first came to the gym I borrowed a friend's to listen to while working out but during a set my hand caught the wires to the headphones and yanked them off my head. It threw my set off and I thought this is a waste. Are you at the gym to screw around on your phone? Listen to music? Or are you there to lift weights and transform your physique? 💪
Amen! I hate when people take a 10 minutes rest between sets to play on their phone. Go stand in the corner to play with your phone, don't hog a machine.
If you’re actually training the way you should be, you won’t be sitting on your phone. I’ll often times i’ll use my phone between sets, but it’s for logging my progress and seeing what’s up next. I don’t feel any desire to do anything more as it feels like a hassle to do anything other than recover from the previous set when you train with such intensity.
Yeah Lee you’re a lot more polite than I am. If someone is on their phone at the gym taking ages on a piece of equipment, I’ll walk straight up to them and politely ask, are you done because I need to use it. If they say no x many sets let I will stand right next to them and make it awkward, they always finish up faster and it’s never confrontational.
This is a massive pet peeve of mine as well , leave your phone in the car or something!! I leave mine in the car and yes I have missed messages so what! I went to the gym to train not be on my phone! People are addicted to it!
doubt it, 2 sets to actual muscle failure with a 5 minute rest in between is actually enough to get good muscle growth, this guy's just being a grumpy old wanker. As an aging man, we tend to just hate when people do things differently than us because we think what we do is 100% the only correct way. I won't let myself become this way, but I see it happen here and there lol.
@@EpicRivers1 Um . . . this old man is a former Mr. Olympia contender. Nobody questions his dedication to training, his intensity, or his techniques; and so, yes, he does know what he is talking about.
@@EpicRivers1speak for yourself loser... there is no "we" unless the "we" u refer to are other gym losers who's physiques haven't changed in the 5 years you've been visiting the gym... f-wits like u are a dime a dozen... can guarantee you're one of those experts that look like total sh.t
We also had annoying people wasting time while hogging machines 35 years ago in the gym. It's just that they didn't play with cell phones as an additional time waster and annoyance. The other day one guy hogged the leg extension machine. He would do an eight rep set at ridiculously low weight and then get off the machine and then set his foot on the bench so that nobody else could use it while he played with his cell phone for at least four minutes; and then he repeated this cycle over and over again. Meanwhile I'm banging out set after set of various exercises. The kicker? He was about thirty years old and I am sixty-seven. So it goes.
Coudent agree more, but I'm not surprised, people can't even go to the bathroom without their phones 🙄, I never ever ever take my phone into the gym with me
Oh I fucking agree with this. So much like do the set take you 30 seconds on your phone, then go back to your set. Don't sit there for 20 minutes and dopamine land will the rest of us want to use the fucking equipment? Change your song. Do your little rest and then put the fucking phone down. Believe it or not, no one gives that much of a shit what you're doing as long as you're not on the equipment
Or, mind your business & focus on you. For some, the gym is their decompress from whatever life is throwing at them, if they want to be slow & look at whatever, so what. Need the machine/equipment? Then ask
Sorry Lee, I use my phone to track my workout and for music. My workouts are still short. If you got a problem with that we can play 1 on 1 basketball and I'll dunk on you.
Couldn't agree more. My gym is full of dipshits on their phone
You are not alone. Every gym is full of dipshits on their phone.
Totally agree it gets frustrating sometimes
100 % Agree . Well said mate
Lee is legend 👑🙌🥇

The worst thing is when some people are taking selfies with all the fake filters!

As always, Lee Speaking Nothing But the Facts and the Truth!👍🏽
Thank you!
Thank you!!!
Very well said!!! Your awesome priest !
He should, he's a priest
Yes, absolutely right!
I respect the gym too much and so I don't bring my phone. I leave it in the locker

you've no doubt got a sh.t physique... they put tampons in mens bathrooms for no gainers like u
Lee, tells it like it is!
I use my dad's old garage as my lil Gym Cave so I try not go on my phone as much while I'm out there, (kinda hard not to though since I need it to play my music through the speaker🤣☠️🎶)
All Lee's experience people would be well served to listen to advice regarding training competing diet and peds most of the time he's right
I get that all the time. I've been on the treadmill. Watching some guy not even do a set in 30 minutes. Just on there phones. Crazy
I don't miss public gyms, all the filming and people glued to phones
I dont scroll i listen to your videos g
As a beginner its useful to have, that being said its purely to look at videos on form in before doing my sets
I prefer my music over the gyms. More in the zone. And if you just have a solid playlist no need to skip. 🔥💪
And that Lee is why I quit the gym and now train at home.
💯% Agree

Whatever music any public gyms have rockin if I'm ever at any of them is good enough for me to be honest😂 but thank devil for wireless ear buds✨☠️💪🏽
Couldn't agree more , drives me mad if they are hogging the machines whilst dicking about on their phones
It's the same thing in every gym across the planet
True!
TRUE FACTS LEE👌👍GYMS ARE FOR
TRAINING .PEOPLE NEED TO PUT THEIR PHONES AWAY FOR AN HR OR SO😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂LEE YOUR'E A LEGEND👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Happens all the time. May as well stay at home. I started going the gym at 4.30am then I miss all the phone morons. So peaceful.
Different breed now Lee.
The whole reason why I train in my shed.
That’s a reason I work out at home !!!
So fucking true bro ,there jokers, see it all the time
I don't even sit on the piece of equipment between sets I stand next to it
It's crazy. About 7 guys were all staring at their phones yesterday at the gym, it look unreal, like petrified zombies
Amen! I hate when people take a 10 minutes rest between sets to play on their phone. Go stand in the corner to play with your phone, don't hog a machine.
Real af I can't stand this with people

I don't understand what some people are even doing at the gym since they are mostly looking at their phone with dead eyes and hardly training at all.
I use the phone too but only for my 1 minute rest between sets. If the time is up I‘m ALWAYS on my set again.
This is a massive pet peeve of mine as well , leave your phone in the car or something!! I leave mine in the car and yes I have missed messages so what! I went to the gym to train not be on my phone! People are addicted to it!
So true
Absolutely spot on its a fucking joke what you see nowadays
I never pick up my phone at gym and be done in 55 minutes
This is why I have a home gym. So I can rest for ten minutes between sets without people judging me.
when lee says he did 6sets resting 45-60s, are all those 6 sets working sets close to failure?
doubt it, 2 sets to actual muscle failure with a 5 minute rest in between is actually enough to get good muscle growth, this guy's just being a grumpy old wanker.

@@MyCharleyhorsehe’s a genetic freak. You can do exactly what he does and you won’t look like him. Genetics play a big role
Idgaf if someone is sat scrolling and i need to use that equipment ill speak out but ill be polite ,at first 😅
Good rule of thumb, don't take phone to the gym.
Yep.
100% Lee.
The worst is the tripod set ups 🙄
Always happens. I've sometimes banged out 6 sets on 2 different machines and they're scrolling through their phones! WTF
We also had annoying people wasting time while hogging machines 35 years ago in the gym. It's just that they didn't play with cell phones as an additional time waster and annoyance.

People should get the hell off the phone while in the gym. Do your exercise and go to the next...
Love u dude.. but I wear a ear buds n I don't ever pick up my phone..
Coudent agree more, but I'm not surprised, people can't even go to the bathroom without their phones 🙄, I never ever ever take my phone into the gym with me
My phone is set on DND when I'm in the gym
Lee 😂 knows bless my brother it's not a sinn
Absolutely mate, it's so rude to sit on kit for ages, how's the eye doing 🤞
Amen!
Not in my gym...no phone's.
That's it amen! The phone watchers in the Gym are those people who always asks, this man can only looks good because he is using steroids 😂
Oh I fucking agree with this. So much like do the set take you 30 seconds on your phone, then go back to your set. Don't sit there for 20 minutes and dopamine land will the rest of us want to use the fucking equipment? Change your song. Do your little rest and then put the fucking phone down.

Us old school lifters seem to be fightin a losin battle with all this media at the gym bullshit
Get Bluetooth headphones with skip buttons etc on them
Yes Yes
The ones that set up a camera in a high traffic area and complain when people walk past are the worst
Yup
I use you tube training videos at the gym.
Omg i hate gym music i put my 1.5 hour play list on ac/dc or metallic and have a great time
leave the thing at home
Phones should not be allowed in the gym
Well, I can't work out to my gym music. Taylor Swift just doesn't do it. I need warrior music.
I'm so happy I fell in love with training before cell phones even existed. It blows my mind how people NEED their phones to work out. All clowns
People do sets in between scrolling TikTok…… they’re literally at the gym putting in minimal effort just so they can say they go to the gym🙄
Facebook. Not in the office. And generally these people are wimps
100%
I users to do 1 min between sets but I think you get so much more out of each set if you wait 3 to 5 mins. Thoughts?
I can cop ppl using phones, should it be in 45 sec to 1 min bursts in between sets lol
Not everyone is on the same programme as you. I focus on strength so take 4 minutes between sets
🤠👌👌💯💯💯
Phones should be banned in gym's
Or, mind your business & focus on you. For some, the gym is their decompress from whatever life is throwing at them, if they want to be slow & look at whatever, so what. Need the machine/equipment? Then ask
Jeez it’s annoying
Sorry Lee, I use my phone to track my workout and for music. My workouts are still short. If you got a problem with that we can play 1 on 1 basketball and I'll dunk on you.
Good words
Literally fucking ruins my sessions. No thought for anyone else and I hate to say it but older guys are the ducking worst.
Time wasters and selfish.
just ask to work in nobody cares
Mind ya business
Mind your business
Bro im on my phone at gym who gon say shit no one
Phones should NOT be allowed in the gym weight area only in the treadmill area.
People are soft
