Am I in the wrong for trying to get brain gains in between sets

Stop reading between sets you twat
Get an audio book like the non sperg brain gainers.

you could be reading celebrity autobiographies and you'd still look like the biggest fucking pseud for reading inbetween sets

It's not a big deal, but people judge the fuck out of other people when they read in public, because they're troglodytes who don't appreciate people reminding them that they're morons.

You do you.

part of me wants to say that you can rest however long you want between sets and whatever you do between sets doesn't really matter.

other part of me would be mad if i needed a piece of equipment and i see the dude on it pull out a fucking book. bad enough with the shits that grab their phone and start texting.

you offered to let the bag of bones work in and she declined. that's her fault.

i'd never pull out a fucking book at a gym doe.

Don't be a dick, work out in the gym and read at home or, you know, LITERALLY ANYWHERE ELSE. Jesus fuck, you aren't getting any smarter by trying to cram it in between sets. That said, fuck that crippled bitch too. She could've worked in and shut the fuck up.

most people would be too tired to even retain written information when under heavy work

You could read while doing the cardio machines (bike/treadmill)

Not trying to read it to be or look smart. I had just bought it at the book store next to the gym and was excited to read it. What do you do between sets, stare at the wall for 2 mins?

kind of hard to read when you head is bobbing all around

>>39423478
If you can do it without taking too long go for it op.
It's a little weird and audiobooks are better for that sort of thing but brain gains are the kind of gains this world could really use

I lay down on the bench and take a breather, my gym is open 24 hours in a basement and has maybe 40 members. If I see more than 2 other people in the gym then that was a crowded day.

The gyn is not for reading
I admirw you for wanting to improve yourself, but to read you need a calm space, take your time and all your focus.
Reading between sets seems to me like a good way to fail at both things, you also need energy to read.

And how far can you get in a book in a minute or two anyways?

I tend to just stare off into the distance but it makes me feel like a retard.
So I just browse /fit/ or Facebook but nobody else seems to use their phone.
I'm not really sure what to do in between sets. I often just habitually check my watch for 90 seconds
