not all of us live surrounded by shitskins
My local gym serves Indian food, not even joking. And it’s a chain gym
>gym
>serves food
then it’s not a gym
Imagine the smell.
based. imagine a nice spicy tikka masala - or टिक्का मसाला as my gf likes to call it - after a core workout.
You in Georgia?
I wear a pair of these plugged into nothing while at they gym
Tucked into my shorts waistband.
Pretends to listen to music and audiobooks while actually perfectly cognisant of all the happening around me
There will be no sneak attack, I know you are coming
>Boomers have stopped giving me unsolicited lifting advice since wearing them
>Chads give me my space think I'm in the zone
>Stacies think I'm intense and mysterious
>Broccoli zoomers avoid me thinking I'm sussin fr fr
The only downside is that I have to listen to the awful gym music, other than that it's pretty cozy
Tim cook took away the 1/8th inch and bro never recovered (everyone just thinks you're poor)
no self respecting man has ever wore air pods. just not moronic enough y'see 🙂
wireless earbuds existed long before apples. and you are poor for not getting them instead.
surely turning your brain into a bluetooth antenna is not a good idea
wear electronic earpro this way people will think you're a bluetooth npc when in reality your ears are protected from damaging sound levels AND other sounds are boosted
i listen to low energy music, and sometimes on prs ill do it on complete silence. But i think you have anxiety. You care too much about what average people think.
Same with (you).
>not all of us live surrounded by shitskins
I hate detroit so goddamned much you don't understand
I lock up my phone when I work out. The world took care of itself for billions of years before I was born, it will.be fine without me for an hour.
I dont listen to music because I don't want to lack any awareness and injure myself. I also find the workout relaxing on its own and enjoy the time to think quietly and introspect. I've tried headphones a few times and it feels too disconnected and just consooming content to consume. Sometimes people who are doing less compounds that have oversized beats headphones on look really comfy, just dont think it's for me.
If I get jumped at my house it's either the dog, or it might be over.
Nothing wrong with that. It's the only time of the day I listen to my music so I double down on the fun time. Helps me get more reps too.
Why don’t you listen to music any other time?
also an earbud falls out in the middle of a rep, rolls across the floor and gets stepped on lol
This. Everyone's dopamine receptors are so fried they need constant stimulus. I don't need headphones, I want to be able to hear what's going on around me. Plus I don't want to carry my phone around with me because then I'm just another homosexual who needs to scroll through something the second I'm done with a lift.
Embrace the boomer iPod Shuffle, anon. My phone goes in the locker for the duration of my workout.
I watch/listen to cnbc on the gym TV
I play oldschool runescape between my sets
based aware of the surroundings survivor, homies be acting like prey getting swole just to be jumped like a buffalo or something
I would suggest bringing a concealed weapon to the gym. Anyone that comes near you is a suspect. They are coming soon, be prepared.
No because I can go an hour or 2 without having shitting rap hiphop garbage pumped into my head at full volume.
It seems people are addicted to being constantly stimulated with screens or entertainment.
Look at how this Black person villifies anyone who doesnt conform the social norms of constantly having Black person monkey rap blaring in your ears.
you sound like a normal well-adjusted person. what’s your opinion on the israelites?
Idk. what does whatever device youre holding right now tell you to think about them?
You think Larry Fink is a good person? Answer the question without saying
>muh pol
Seinfield is alright
Larry David too
i think they're a great people who were just unfairly persecuted 360 times in a row. what's your opinion of them?
meds
In your quest to have your mind consumed by nothing but BBC, did you forget that other forms of music exists outside of rap and hip hop?
>No because I can go an hour or 2 without having shitting rap hiphop garbage pumped into my head at full volume.
that's genuinely the biggest reason why I DO wear headphones. If I don't play something, anything to drown out the shit music the gym plays, I will be forced to listen to Black person music for my whole workout. So I can't even have no music if I wanted to.

so much this, earplugs are the only way to go
precisely why I chose to invest in a home gym.
Don't go to a gym where people jump people for no reason?
That said I'm autistic as frick and I also have a problem with not being able to hear some of my surroundings so I simply listen to music on open ear headphones like aftershokz and shit.
I don't even work out.
Why are you here?
I'm getting into the mood.
If you don't know where to start, let me know and I can make some suggestions
how are you responding? what is your device telling you?
Are you new here brah? I'm just checking the thread
Doctor told me to start taking my medication at dinner
I want to strengthen my tendons so they don't snap my wrists off if I ever lift too heavy.
I don't have a choice. Commercial gyms are always blasting shitty music, so I wear headphones and listen to music I actually enjoy.
I listen to JRE while working out or other pdcasts. Music and lifting is a meme
nice.
If I don't have music playing I hear cars racing by, pool filters running, or lawnmowers and leaf blowers.
Homegym master race
its either listen to my own music, or whatever bullshit the gym plays, i dont think i need to tell you which i choose
Headphone users are the most annoying people in the gym. They all have 0 spatial awareness and are constantly in everyone’s way
You’re thinking of people who are constantly on their phones
I've seen the guys that don't listen to music at my gym
>old and fat
>loner with a hoodie on
>guy who spends too much time talking to others
>turbo autist dyel
I also find it very had to believe that you can have an intense workout without music.
A good song, with hard lyrics and base adds 30lbs to my lifts. The days without music are always shit. Especially if the gym is playing garbage on the speakers
The workout is perfect by itself
I'd say the majority of people at my gym lift without headphones. Of those that do, the majority are women probably trying to make themselves unapproachable. A few guys do obviously but most in general don't
I'm super new and like being aware of my surroundings so I don't accidentally make some kind of faux pas. The only wireless headphones I've got are my work ones with a big mic sticking out and I'd look like some kind of freak, though I do like the idea of blasting some Ghost while I lift weights but especially to relieve some of the monotony of the exercise bike
>The only wireless headphones I've got are my work ones with a big mic sticking out and I'd look like some kind of freak
Holy shit. I’d lose it if I saw someone working out in those lmao
There's one fat guy at my gym that works out wearing a gaming headset. I can only imagine the stench that's contained under the earmuffs
My second ipod shuffle kicked the bucket after many years of service
you literally can't get em anymore, unless they're chinese knock offs or overpriced and used
i refuse to bring my phone to the gym
I use a sandisk clip sport
I'm just hoping someone talks to me is all.....
My ears hurt when I use earbuds so I've never got into listening to music when I'm outside
If you're actually working out and making actual gains you don't have to worry about getting jumped.
The instructors at my gym have the same music taste as me so i don't need headphones. They're always blasting good shit on the radio
I don't use earphones if I'm training with my bro because we used to use them and I got distracted once spotting him on Flat Bench and accidentally lifted it for him one rep too early and wanted to kill myself afterwards
I keep my headphones on otherwise I start getting angry at white women for making shitty rap music. The time I forgot my headphones home, I kept mumbling yayayaya to myself to stop the shitty fricking music from getting into my ears. I even put white noise on my phone during sets to pan it out. A boomer stared a bit but I stared back till he looked away.
Annoying fricking experience.
As for getting jumped, I tend to know most people at my gym. A lot of them are dyels and I'm friends with many fit ones. But I always keep looking around because I still get paranoid very often. I go to a nicer gym so it's probably very unlikely that anyone would be moronic enough to jump me. Most people that I'm not friends with tend to avoid me.
I've never been to a commercial gym. My gym is always empty when I go and there's a very loud stereo system that anyone can use. I've never worn headphones while lifting.
Holy shit, just another reason I can't imagine living near a city.
i live in the middle of a forest and there is no gym anywhere near me except a planet fitness
The best workouts I've had in my entire life have been at my home gym with no music nor any other distractions whatsoever; only me and the fricking weights.
based based based
I like the sound of metal clanging and the sound of my feet on the ground while I'm running
Eh. I have a semi home gym as well (gym at my apartment complex that always empty), and I still have headphones with music blasting. I just lift better that way.
i never wear headphones. i like to be aware of my surroundings and hear what others are doing. i think i only wear them in an airplane as it's the only feasible way to listen to music in that situation.
My gym plays music on a sound system and I only need to hear a beat to get a flow state.
Does a lion get pumped up before a kill? Does a cheetah get pumped up before giving chase? Does a tiger get pumped up before making the pounce? You think you need motivation to succeed, true nature knows you are already capable.
>only mirin and hearin for me
>gym plays no music
People can choose to listen whatever they want on their music device
>gym plays music
Is too loud so you are forced to listen to whatever they are playing which probably sucks.
I can’t stand how gyms feel the need to play music.
it's a bit awkward when you hear everybody's joints cracking and weird grunting sound
when you stop listening to music at the gym, you soon realize how braindead everyone at the gym is, being plugged-in, being fed media like geese being readied for fois gras. the comradery of the gym cannot prosper where all the persons are isolated in their own little capsule, hiding from their own thoughts and the interaction with others.
I listen to Nitsche epubs with the synthesized google text to speech (female UK voice 2) while lifting, lol
I didn't wear headphones at the gym for a long time because I was too much of a Luddite to buy wireless headphones.
I don't listen to music at all.
>work out in silence
>drive in silence
>relax in silence
gym plays music already, plus sweaty headphones disgust me.
I listen to music for hours everyday outside the gym, so when I lift I like to lift in peace and silence to give myself a break.
my gym needs a keycard to get in and they've been getting stricter about people getting in
people just keep to themselves and that's fine
I like to blast my tunes to keep myself amped up and it's just more fun
No, anon. I can’t say that I’ve ever been afraid of getting 'jumped' at my local L.A. Fitness.
Reckon i'll start wittling between sets.
>listen to music in gym
>worried that anyone nearby might hear what I'm listening to
so I don't
I listen to Nuremberg trials audio in the gym what is someone gonna do if they hear? Complain to the staff? They don't give a damn.
I never listen to music outside of my house or my truck. Not that I'm worried about getting jump, I just prefer to know what is going on around me.
2nd gen AirPod pros have a noise canceling and transparency mode. Transparency mode allows you to hear everything around you like through a microphone, while simultaneously playing music. It’s great for situational awareness.
music addiction is never really talked about but 90% of the population can't survive basic tasks without a dopamine hit from their headphones
Everyone here righteously giving coomers shit but we need a discussion about the Tooner Problem.
Sometimes my headphones are dead. Otherwise the only reason I've worked out without headphones is that I worked at the gym.
i dont wear headphones because music distracts me from counting
The best workout I ever had was the one time the sound system at my gym wasn't working.
There were almost zero shitskins, and the only down moment was when a zoomer homosexual complained about the lack of music before leaving in an ADHD induced huff.
Idk know man, power metal just makes me get those reps in yknow
music is homosexual satanic propaganda. Listen to Qur'an instead to strengthen your relation with your creator
My dude Quran must be listened with full concentration, I doubt that it's best to listen to that while workout, Better keep doing tasbih during the workout
If you are a man that is able to wear headphones in a public setting you are an NPC. You have no instinct that tells you to be aware about your surroundings. As a man you need to be able to detect danger when it appears. Headphones make you completely oblivious to what is going on around you. Someone could come from behind and jump you without you realizing.
our gym blasts Rammstein and metal/hard rock in general, so no need for headphones... sometimes pop rock, but its endurable
I feel like I need ear plugs to go places anymore. After leaving my quiet home, and quiet car, it's like a cacophony of noise. At the gym, shitty adult contemporary playing. Getting groceries, going to restaurants, walking by normies with annoying ticking rapshit blaring into their heads. Other people in their shitbox cars with radio bass/treble settings all the way up. Even parks people sitting on benches with little portable speakers playing noise. Every where you go, just noise, noise, NOISE!
You have ear damage
Zoomers are strange creatures. When they see someone who isn't being stimulated by quirky electronic lights and sounds 24 hours a day, they're shocked. They can't understand why your face isn't buried in your phone all day.
Versus what? Your average big commercial gym has shitty pop music and a million flatscreens blaring nonstop. I’d much rather listen to my own music.
I can't even imagine living like this. The stress would kill my gains
I once went to a gym where they took care of your baby while working out. 60 euro a month. Still went to a cheaper gym when the kid got older
Nuh, I don't listen to music as well when working out. It's an NPC habit. I'd also would constantly drain them in sweat or knock them off my head.
So get something like this then? Why the frick would you wear a gaming headset to the gym?
>just put these EMF emitters in your skull bro
You can still easily find plain old wired sport earbuds.
> getting jumped in the gym
What kind of 3rd world hellhole is that, are you in Honduras? Liberia?
I found that I personally lift heavier when I have no headphones because I can concentrate on my form better without thinking about the music in my ears. Music also doesn’t hype me up to lift heavier
Scared to get jumped??? Are you posting this from your jail cell bro? Where the frick are you working out????
My first 3 months in the gym I didn’t listen to music because I thought it would be distracting but once you give it a try there’s no going back.
>home gym
>mostly silence
>watch instagram reels in between sets like a real adult
>only half the time tho, im not a loser
>reads thread
Am I really the only one who doesn't use headphones but replays music to myself in my head for my heavy sets? You can tweak the timing of parts of songs perfectly, replay if you need to take a break, etc. all literally just by thinking, no touching anything. Clean, pure, safe, no extra baggage. Only downside is I probably look autistic but everyone with headphones looks antisocial
