I won't even bring my phone inside the gym. It's distracting as fuck and that's my 1-2 hours of phone free bullshit for the day and my escape . It's the only hour of the day that no one can reach me and it's never back fired on me once . Work can wait one hour , friends , family who ever else can wait for me to call back in an hour. Emails can wait one hour and so can anything else. What did people do before cell phones ??? We all survived ! It sucks being a slave to your phone and everybody's guilty of it . I just think it's good etiquette and feels good to leave it in the car for an hour or so and not be starring at a screen constantly .
i agree with you brother... the only reason i have mine in there with me is for my music otherwise i would not.. i ALWAYS used to put it in my locker and leave it there until i was done... that's it... when im lifting its all business... i dont need nor want "chit chat" time etc... i want to get in, get my work in, and go home and relax because i cant move whatever body part i did that day... if your lifting right, you can get a full one in 40-45 minutes and feel like youve been in there for hours... thats how you train...
