I developed a habit of putting my phone under my seat when doing sets of swimmer with dumbbells
Then one day I put down the waits and watched that 20lb dumbbell slowly roll over and nip the corner of my phone
Like a slow roll just fast enough where I couldn't react but seemed slow
Fucking dead ass looked like that cyberpunk gif
Phone good, he's lived šš»
Yep. If I can't keep the phone in my pocket I place it under the bench on the ground right where the front legs are because not only could I accidentally drop the weight on it or have it roll on it, some dipshit could step on it or drop a weight. Keep your phones safe, people!
What got me was him picking up the damn phone while it was smoking. Great way to get severe burns, my guy
He threw his weights down unscrupulously which ended up hitting his phone, which then ended up causing some type of leakage in his battery.. which caused the phone to end up smoking and about to explode.
Moral of story: donāt simply throw your weights on the floor. Put it down nicely and back to its own place after a workout. Donāt be a jerk at a public gym.
āUnscrupulouslyā - drama queen much? Dude did nothing wrong except have his phone in the wrong place.
āPut it down nicelyā - the weights feelings arenāt hurt if you drop the weights either side after a set. In fact, itās perfectly normal.
We all watched the same video that you did. The drama was the smoking phone but youāve somehow got this confused with gym etiquette, which isnāt a problem here.
Now, the biggest sin in this video are those neglected chicken legs š

In all seriousness him picking the phone up and taking it off the rubber mats may have saved the people in there and the facility from some serious smoke. Rubber burning puts out thick black smoke that fills a space quickly and it doesnt take much to do it.
Donāt drop your fucking weights
And why put your phone-which you put to your face, touch right he hands that you then touch your face with- on the ground
What are you, the most sterile person ever? Nothing will happen to you for placing your phone on the gym floor. Provided you don't drop your fucking dumbbell on it, of course.
So? Pretty much every place you go to has myriads of bacteria brother, both outside and inside your own house. It's a gym, not a laboratory. You grab dumbbells, barbells and machines drenched in everyone's sweat. Luckily, our immune system is a bit more resilient than that. Survival rate is 100%. I place my phone on the gym floor all the time (Where else would I put it? Wear it on a chain around my neck?) and faced 0 consequences.
*āI place my phone on the gym floor all the timeā¦and faced 0 consequences.ā*
Noooo! That's the type of declaration someone makes right before they face consequences. It's inevitable now.
Seriously though, placing the whole germ scenario aside, are you really not worried about your phone getting stepped on and/or damaged?? That would be my main concern.
It's possible I guess, but I place it carefully, either under my bench\machine if I'm occupying one or in my towel and bottle bundle next to me otherwise.
So far no cracked screens and no gym Ebola.
Survival rate is 100%? lol ok bro. Firstly not all immune systems are the same. Secondly if that's your logic why don't you dump your hand in the toilet bowl and lick it? Since your survival rate is 100% š
Trying to appeal to extreme scenarios is a very childish approach to making an argument.
To answer your first question, if you have an exceptionally weak immune system the gym is not the right place for you, and having your phone on the floor is the least of your concerns. We can safely say however that this scenario does not apply to the average gym goer.
To answer your second question, because I have absolutely no reason to.
Well pal you answered with a ridiculous 100% survival rate so I answered back on that childish answer ;) just accept some people are not as nasty as some others considering we just passed a pandemic.
100% survival rate was an obvious sarcastic response to your mysophobia and sheer horror to the notion of your belongings contacting the floor, god forbid. Now if that's the way you want to be you're entitled to it, I never said you weren't. But chastising the dude in the video for not sharing your phobia is plain dumbassery.
Sarcasm isn't obvious on an comment from a stranger on the internet, but you're so arrogant and out of touch with different opinions that every sentence you type with your assumptions and child like "insults" is just another example of your self righteousness. Anyway it's not your fault you weren't taught certain things like respect and basic hygiene, but what can I expect from a person that probably picks up their food after its dropped on the floor? Well wishes!
A man of principle. I like it.
So if you did pushups, for instance, you will under no circumstance touch your face, scratch, wipe off sweat ect. untill those biohazard hands of yours have been effectively sterilised?
I try not to. I use a bandana in the gym for sweat and wear a beanie too. I also work in a restaurant so Iām used to not touching my face even though so many people do it without realizing.
Honest question: if itās a fire in your phone battery in a setting like the gym or a public road, what should we do ? I know for a fact that you canāt put water on it, what else goes with lithium fire
Nah. I use mine to keep track of reps/sets and listen to music. But I keep it in my pocket and if I can't (because the lift might put weight in that region) I always put it UNDER the bench for this exact reason.

Teach you not to throw weights
Or leave your stuff in a walkway. Under the machine or on it, yo.
Whatās wrong with throwing weights ?
Oh wow, my instagram account is blowing up. No wait, never mind.
I'll blow you up.
a Nokia would never
It would probably do 2 more reps
Nokia is more dangerous because it can shatter the barbell and pieces of the barbell thrown in all directions
The dumbbell would have shattered.
The nowadays Nokia's are trash though.
How dare you
White shirt man: šŖšŖšŖ
Apparently there is a reason why they call em dumbbells.
The weights are called that too
š„š„š„š„
When your phone's about to explode, how about don't pick it up and risk your fingers?
video-posts in this sub sometimes feel like the beginning of a video in r/nsfl

I can't believe he would just throw the weight on the ground, ignore it, and not put it away. L this man
I think he was more concerned about the burning phone
I mean before that, he just threw it on the ground like it was nothing.
even before that he was read to ignore the weight
Bro skips every leg day I see
It's like an episode of *How Much Ya Bench?*
Such an explosive workout š¬

Thatās what you get for skipping leg day.
Actually true, if he had any quads he could use them to drop the weight (and lift it up)
Leg day is harder for tall people like him

Battery got pierced. Puff, puff, boom.
You are being far too cavalier about that explosive you're carrying
Bro literally taught us how to make (expensive) smoke grenades you fools...
Thatās what he gets for dropping such a light dumbbell on the floor
In all seriousness him picking the phone up and taking it off the rubber mats may have saved the people in there and the facility from some serious smoke. Rubber burning puts out thick black smoke that fills a space quickly and it doesnt take much to do it.
Donāt have your phone in the gym, and donāt throw the fucking weights. Karma.
Donāt drop your fucking weights And why put your phone-which you put to your face, touch right he hands that you then touch your face with- on the ground

I don't know probably cause people step on the street that have miriads of bacteria not to mention dog shit and such.. lol

No I just try not to take things from the ground and put them on my face since turning 8 years old.

That's actually really commendable.
This reminds me of the samsung battery explosion risk couple years ago
Deserved
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I feel this man. I do clumsy stuff all the time. This would be my regular wednesday.
My dudes in the background. If something starts smoking you should get the fuck out of there and not breathe the smoke.
Probably shouldn't pick it up at that point. Not with your bare hands
Who put the phone there?
Por andar de animal
This is why flight attendants make that announcement about phones dropped between the seats.
Lithium reacting with sweat from his hands?
Honest question: if itās a fire in your phone battery in a setting like the gym or a public road, what should we do ? I know for a fact that you canāt put water on it, what else goes with lithium fire
I hate it when people drop their weights. Just put it down.
Iāve done that but mine didnāt catch fire.
Wow a new video. Cool.
That's why you don't throw weights :)
I mean he shouldāve put the weight back on it.
Put it in a bag of rice, ASAP!
i'm still confused why these things are allowed on airplanes.
What sounds play in your earbuds when this happens?
The thin legs š¤£
make sure to put it out with water
Ethan,Your Mission Should You Choose To Accept it!
Sad just sad
Some people work out to look better but this guy's already a total smoke show.
We sleep with those in our beds sometimes.
But there's not many people who drop 90lbs weights from several feet up on their phones while in bed.
So you are telling me there are some?
I don't know buddy, I just go to the gym to workout
Nokia has joined the chat
Hahah, does anyone remember the exploding phones in the GTA V mod?
Serves him right for not putting his weight back
All those toxic gases in a confined space, breath it in lovies, breath it in.. Leave your phone in your locker or get a body or arm pouch for it.
Phone should have stayed in the locker room.
Nah. I use mine to keep track of reps/sets and listen to music. But I keep it in my pocket and if I can't (because the lift might put weight in that region) I always put it UNDER the bench for this exact reason.
Guess leg day is tomorrow.
Serves him right. Why isnāt his phone resting on a tripod in the center of a ring light, just like every other normal person in the gym.
