Gym etiquit 1970s vs 2014

it's way too annoying seeing someone taking up a bench and just staring at their phone.

Come to think of it, when I go to the gym, everybody isn't all jacked liked in the videos from the 70's and 80's. I mean there are a few guys that are HUGE but most are closer to that pic's "today." It must be that crossfit bullshit. What do the oldtimers here think? Are people on average getting scrawnier at the gym?

It was the 80's when I first set foot in a commercial gym. I don't remember it being any different than now. You had groups of huge guys who all lifted together then just as now. Huge mass monsters just aren't that common so seeing a bunch of them together is even less common.
