This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I think my biggest issue at the gym I go to are people who swim in perfumes (there's this one lady who literally stinks up the whole 3-room-basement with no proper ventilation) and then the people who do 5 moves in a machine and then sit on the machine for 5-10 minutes while scrolling their phones.. Then another 5 moves, more scrolling. Maybe there are better places for scrolling TikToks, Reels or whatever shit than the basement gym with very limited space and equipment?
A couple of minutes rest between sets can help with training:

Yeah resting between sets is unavoidable, I don't even see how anyone could not have any rest periods between lifts. I guess they mean they get distracted scrolling and rest way too long. Personally I rest 1 to 3 minutes between sets while I adjust weights etc, but I also work out at home so I'm not exposed to it becoming an issue.
