Impressive

You mean WEIGHTLIFTING, not BODYBUILDING. You are obviously not a bodybuilder.

Weightlifting for the most part (excluding maybe oly lifting) = functional bodybuilding. People incorporate strength training into their exercise routine regularly but aren't pro bodybuilders. That's like saying you don't play basketball when you're playing a pickup game bc you aren't in the NBA.

Nice watch OP, from a like-minded fitness/green sub enthusiast.

I wear my Garmin in the gym. Hate the thought of banging a nice watch, too much metal around.

You must be a fun guy to hang out with at social functions.

[You]

I bench press with my watches, never had any problems.

[prnceofpersia23]

This thread is ridiculous, but resonates with me lol. My first stop after work is the gym and I reluctantly leave my watch in the car. Hate doing it, but my Apple Watch is superior in the gym.

I don't go to social functions, too busy in the gym.

[Bizcut1]

IMO, wearing a sub in the gym is an obvious flex...so if that's what you're after more power to you...

Someone’s sensitive

I must say I can’t imagine doing any sort or press or heavy lift with a watch it it would certainly be a inconvenience. And I certainly wouldn’t be wanting to pause to take the watch off and adjust the glidelock. I think you aren’t training hard enough

I agree with this (not the sensitive part LOL, it's just novice fitness ppl using pro terminology is my biggest pet peeve). Plus, the base of your wrist is one of the most important areas for proper form, and injury prevention. You hit the nail on the head especially regarding presses - if you're repping 85lbs on a machine, leisurely, maybe a watch would work. If you're doing a real workout, nope.

Bodybuilding is the use of progressive resistance exercise to control and develop one's muscles (muscle building) by muscle hypertrophy for aesthetic purposes. An individual who engages in this activity is referred to as a bodybuilder.

Someone that runs is also a runner, not a "feet-in-front-of-the-other-putter"

No, you made that definition up. Bodybuilding is a SPORT. Just like a guy who plays rec basketball is a guy who plays basketball, not a basketball player.

Lol well we are digressing here big time but I can't help myself and have to point out that OP said he was bodybuilding. Never called himself a "bodybuilder"... You just made my original point.

He wasn't bodybuilding, he was weightlifting.

I wear my sub to the gym….just non on my wrist. Glidelock comes in handy for the extra girth needed in the locker room. Wetsuit fit is snug.

This thread is evidence this forum has reached maximum…something…

Listen I actually lift very heavy weight properly. I train with power lifters and bodybuilders. We cannot wear watches due to unknown wrist flex and general comfort. In addition we slap on pull straps and wrist wraps for heavy press and pull action. That’s not even accounting for liquid chalk.

I’ll guarantee you right now you do not lift enough to be making a thread saying you’re a so called body builder who wears a metal watch to the gym.

And people need to kill the “it’s a sports watch”. The truth is you just want to flex and wear a Rolex to the gym. Stop looking for excuses.

It’s also FAR from the best body building watch. It does nothing besides tell the time. You can’t time splits, breaks, heart rate, calories, etc. so how in earth is it the “best body building watch”.

Jeeeez man.

But he gets a wrist pump so big he has to use the Glidelock!!!

LOL just kidding. Agreed with you 10000%!!!!

Ah, but you self-contradict my friend! Weightlifting is also a sport. What you really mean is that he was lifting weights! In fact, dates say “weightlifting” has an even more rigid definition, in terms of being a sport, than bodybuilding, which I’d classify as a style of workout programming with a specific goal(the associated sport being “get greased up in a man thong and pose on stage). When I hear “weightlifting,” I think “Olympic lifting” as opposed to “lifting weights, which includes any resistance training.

Clearly, ball-busting and being annoying is my only contribution here

Oh, and for the record, I consider bodybuilding workouts much more conducive to wearing a watch, given the focus on isolation exercises, often using machines, rarely requiring full range of motion. Powerlifting and weightlifting would be worse, with kettlebells being an instant disaster.

Don't you shower? Then any diver is far superior.

[Geckobros]

Pfft, one of these babies on each wrist, no gym needed. Call the vet ‘cuz your puppies will be sick!

[White Collar Boy]

Great watch OP.

Maybe someone laughs at me and says I have blue hair. My hair is not blue, but they point at me and laugh because they don't like blue hair. Again, I know my hair is not blue.

You will be a better and stronger person when you realize what a person perceives about you does not matter. Screw what people think.

The OP, you do you!

You’re acting like this isn’t a thread and a forum where people are posting about wearing expensive pieces of jewellery….to the GYM!

This is nothing more than someone wanting to wear a Rolex to the gym and posting about it online. It’s not some type of moral victory for anyone lol

The pump and wrist swelling causes major issues without some sort of Bracelet extension though, I’ve added three links to my watch size over the last 4 years

Yeah, not while exercising for me too. As a side note, I’ve added a micro adjust in the clasp from crushing the pantry

[Andad]

Hey Neef,

I will take advice only from you.

Talk about completely missing the point, and you just showed your lack of reading comprehension.

Go get ya a protein shake.

That looks great! Thanks for sharing.
