Wear headphones in the gym? Yay or nay?

No way in hell for me. Can't concentrate on the kinds of movements I do.. too.dangerous.

Besides that I like to have a brief chat with somebody nearby in between sets sometimes. Guess I'm wierd, I like to talk a little and say hello.

The women are hopeless here in California. They'll never take 'em off. "How are you today" is out of the question.

A hello how are ya today? Maybe a joke or wise crack in between a set?

Go to a gym sometime and get back to me.

Mugg, same here.

Also reason why people who wear headphone dont want to be bothered when they lift and Im one of them...Nothing worse then having great workout with music playing in ipod then some dumbass comes up and starts yacking your ear off. All gyms should place rule where talking is not allowed.

Ya just don't get it do ya?

Los angeles you tallk from a distance, you learn and you absorb information from the pros...especially the retired ones.

Miinnesota? Please - come on out an learn the science with the big boys..

If I politely asked you to move a your 45 pound straight curl bar off of the squat rack you would fuckin do it immediatly, and if you had head phones on I'd do it right in front of you while you were listening to rap gangster punk music on your Ipod.

Sure as hell you'd say "sorry man."

Gotta wear headphones.

A) I dont wanna hear the crap the gym is playing

B) I dont wanna hear anyone elses conversations

c) It doesnt motivate me, but I like to listen to music I like while working out

I just walk on the treadmill, sometimes I push the 'incline' button up a little.

I've been trying to lose over 50+ beer an burger fat pounds for a long time.  Everybody gets really excited about the headphones in ears. I like to talk and just walk as hard as I can.

My goodness.

 Ok rook hero.

1 minutes tops on conversation. Maybe you'll learn something - ya never know who's training next to you and what you might learn.

Training at an intense level both on weights and cardio and there's no possible way you can concentrate pushing or pulling big weight with music blasting in your ear....no way.

To each is own though respectfully. Some people like to get on those silly Eliptical wheels and talk on the phone, listen to music and read the newspaper.
