Phones at the gym are stupid

I like my smartphone. It's a Samsung Galaxy S II. It works well, and one of its finer features is that it is not an Iphone. Like most who carry one, it goes with me everywhere. I draw the line at the gym though and scoff at those who don't. There are multiple gym goers at my local weight room who do a set, then sit down on the bench and look at their phones. They end up wasting five minutes they will never get back looking at the phone seated at the bench in the classic stoop with head tilted down, soft glow shining up. Eventually they will get up, and do another set, but this literally takes a five minute cycle, and they will still follow each set with a stop to look at the phone. It is bad enough that the internet converts otherwise valuable, irreplaceable time with hours spent at Break.com or ESPN.com, or anythingbutwork.com. But letting the web's sugar and its insidious and delicious draw pull you from foucssing on your workout is frightfully weak. Leave the phone in the car. Focus on your lifts, your sets and your form. There is nothing in the phone that will help you clean that bar or do that pull up or curl. No, there is not an app for that.
