      It’s a stereotype, not necessarily documented in any encyclopedia. (Or maybe it is, I dunno ) But as a former gym rat I can attest that when lifting weights & doing reps in a gym* I’m not thinking of much because all my physical & mental energy are focused on the workouts, not even able to verbalize any of it.

      *However when RUNNING outdoors, tons of thoughts & ideas & innovations & productivities are flowing.

        I listen to audiobooks while at the gym. It’s fine for me as long as no one is talking loudly on their phone.
