What do you do in between sets?

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?

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

play games on my iphone, looking in the morror or at other people doesnt appeal to me

nice_guy80 · 18-06-2014 08:24AM

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 · 18-06-2014 09:49AM

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 · 18-06-2014 11:18AM

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.

Take selfies in the squat rack.

conzy · 18-06-2014 11:35AM

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

jugger0 · 18-06-2014 11:55AM

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

LuckyLloyd · 18-06-2014 11:58AM

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

chat to mate, spot them for their lifts. If on my own listen to music drink some water and prepare for next lift

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.
