What do *you* do in between sets?

whirlpool

You're weight training at the gym, people all around, and your programme involves 60 second breaks, 90 second, or god forbid 2-5 minutes in between sets. How do you occupy your time in between sets?

Nervous Wreck

Post pictures of weights on facebook. Obviously.

Mr. CooL ICE

Make eye contact with as many people as possible to create an atmosphere of awkwardness. Guarantees me a free squat rack every time.

I put in another exercise, or two. Mix it up with upper body push/lower body pull etc maybe a simple core exercise - swiss ball knee tucks etc
Oh look, a mini circuit!
three exercises for the price of one!

I often mess around on one of these:

Stare at everyone judgementally

Reekwind

More sets. Time is often at a premium in the morning so I combine exercises. So a set of arms, followed by a set of legs, back to arms, etc

What's with 2-5 min rest.
Sure you get noting done in 90 seconds

CM24

If I'm doing bench press and I know my next exercise is going to be Rows, I start doing my light warm up sets for the rows in between my work sets for the bench. Doesn't interfere with my bench performance at all and then I'm ready to go straight into the work sets on rows after.

Also, if your doing pressing exercises. I sometimes do light scap work like band pull aparts or face pulls during the rests.

Stench Blossoms

Take selfies in the squat rack.

conzy

On the current program? Try not to vom / wipe the sweat off myself / drink as much water as possible

jugger0

Watch hardcore porn on my phone to keep my test levels high

LuckyLloyd

Count down rest with a thousand eye stare while dreading the next set usually.

A Greedy Algorithm

I only do one set in the gym then leave. I am on the new protein 'The Anabolic Viking Invader' formula which increases test by 600%. No need for more than 3 mins in the gym.

Have you got any good ones?

binncheol

Look in awe at people lifting extremely heavy things or mentally cheer people on. I have nothing better to do with my minute

JJayoo

I do a Push/Pull/Legs split so if I am on my push day in between sets I might roll out my back and legs in preparation for the next day.

Taylor365

Browse the floor or ceiling.



Or watch dudes checking out chicks. Funny stuff.

top madra

I make continuous awkward eye contact with the other dude doing the same.

^On a similar note, at the last competition I was at, a guy projectile vomited during a deadlift. Still finished it and got the lift!

I train at home, so I just pace around listening to music between sets.
