"Grunting" in the gym

dieseld · 08-02-2006, 11:40 PM

alright does anyone here really feel like yelling and screaming while doing their workout is helping that much?!? its pretty annoying...i understand ppl try to "hype" themselves up and all....but i bet they werent screaming like that in the gym when they first started working out, but NOW since they think they can do alot of weight...lets just let everyone else know about it....pathetic ...last sunday i got 345lbs on bench 6 times and didnt make a sound... yesterday this guy puts 245lbs on bench and just screams and grunts as loud as possible

i dont understand

i meant to post this training...geez

I grunt, but I don't scream. When i diet and I accumulate sore spots all over, most of the grunts are kinda like sayin ouch without saying the word ouch, some exercises hurt -literally.
I don't however scream at the top of my lungs to let everyone know, or see what I lift..honestly if I could get big curling 10lbs as a max, i would. Squating 135 would be nice too, but you have to pile it on, after 15 years it just hurts some days. But I can relate-this one ass years ago used to yell out after a couple of warm up sets "LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!" what a ****in cheezball, guy was just a lard ass too.
Personally if Ronnie Coleman is in gym yellin "light weight" I can live with it-he's Ronnie.
But if average half as Joe with 4wks training is doin it, he has to go.

I never really grunt or anythikng, although im known for making some pretty nasty faces from time to time.

I've been told I grunt, don't really know what comes out when I'm lifting heavy, whatever happens, happens. The on purpose screaming and yelling for attention typically lends to folks like me laughing (at least they got my attention). If someone is coming out of the hole with 600lbs and he yells, I really don't have a problem with that, it's almost instinct. Point is if your thinking about whether or not your making noise during a lift and trying to be quite or whatever then your not 100% in the lift. I don't give a **** what anybody thinks about me in the gym I'm in there for me not them.

Mygeeto · 08-03-2006, 02:06 AM

sometimes it does help to let out a grunt or a few to get out another 2-3 seemingly not possible reps. im always quite when i workout and when i near the end of my sets when i cannot do another rep quitely ill let out a grunt to get just a few more reps out. it does work

Jayhawkk · 08-03-2006, 05:45 AM

I'll move it for ya...

I make little noise as possible but i've let loose on a grunt or two when stressing. I don't mind a grunt or a yell or three but the ones that do it every rep and do it loud get on my nerves...until I got my mp3 player, that is.

Mygeeto · 08-03-2006, 05:59 AM

ahhh..the ever faithful mp3/ipod.....they are so usefull i swear i would kill a person if they ruined my ipod, namely the person who ruined it.

Basso · 08-03-2006, 07:42 AM

What actually gets on my nerves more is the folks that come to the gym for social hour, never freakin stop talking about stupid ****. And Billy out of shape bob who has taken his buddy super skinny frank under his wing and never shuts up on how this is how you build this muscle and this is the way you do these movements, etc, etc. Turn up my iPod and yell a little louder!

JS316 · 08-03-2006, 09:01 AM

I love to yell "yeahh buddy!" when doing squats

Kanav · 08-03-2006, 10:53 PM

I cant help grunting during deadlifts. Well I try to keep it as low as possible. It just comes out as a grunt when im breathing and pulling heavy ass weight.

mp5man1 · 08-03-2006, 11:55 PM

A friend of mine dropped a 5 lb plate on his toe. He screamed and grunted

Mygeeto · 08-05-2006, 01:24 AM

what about the gym instructor who is always socialising with the lifters, talking to them instead of watching the new guys on thier form?

Captain America · 08-05-2006, 07:36 AM

I grunt sometimes, but that only if I'm bust my butt in the gym. I don't grunt, just for the fun of it.

Viperspit · 08-05-2006, 08:05 AM

I'll admit I grunt at times on heavy squats (heave for me anyway), or some others, but usually only the last rep or 2.

We have a little fuktard at our gym that grunts with every rep including warmup sets. yea, you know who you are.

dieseld · 08-05-2006, 01:46 PM

theirs one guy at my gym thats actually pretty strong, he reps out like 315 on bench for 12-15 reps, but he grunts and screams so freaking loud, after he's finished with his reps he jumps up and checks out who all was watching him...i usually cant stop laughing

.. i just dont understand why someone needs all that attention

Mommy didn't hold him close enough....

I think we can all agree, if your bustin ass on some heavy ****, it is gonna come out-and personally, i think it's just breathin technique.

But the obvious attention people are more dedicated to gettin noticed than gettin big-they are a waste of space IMO.

Once again I can take it from someone goin for those extra reps on deds or squats, but not the total newb doing cable concentration culrs.

sorry Viper but i just feel so manly when i grunt..i'll try to tone it down for ya

Rambo · 08-07-2006, 09:58 PM

I don't even mind loud people, adds to the hardcor environment

I make very little noise, some grunts occasionally

Beelzebub · 08-07-2006, 11:02 PM

if you need to grunt, then grunt.
if you need to scream, do so.
if you want to not utter a sound, all the power to you.

as long as you're in the gym, that's what matters, not what everyone else is doing. i've grunted, screamed, and STFU before - sometimes it does matter. and none of those times did i give a flying **** what the rest of place thought about it.

Jayhawkk · 08-07-2006, 11:19 PM

To a point I agree with ya but sometimes it's just a pain in the ass. You know the guys coming in with the stacked platinum chains and bandanas and saggin pants shouldn't bother me either...But it does :)

Beelzebub · 08-07-2006, 11:50 PM

that, my friend, is a different subject. showing me your underwear while walking down the street has no benefit to anyone, not even the wearer of the pants.

Jayhawkk · 08-08-2006, 04:10 AM

hahaha

hicktown · 08-09-2006, 11:27 PM

Jayhawkk · 08-09-2006, 11:58 PM

That he is man. You'll be hard pressed to meet a nicer guy on the boards and bigger monster in the gym.

blink0 · 08-10-2006, 05:01 AM

I make noise but I'm not screaming, ain't nuthin but a peanut lol :)

Basso · 08-10-2006, 05:12 AM

I was gunting loudly in the gym today...and I liked it!

Mygeeto · 08-10-2006, 05:56 AM

one of my mates is a corpral in the cadets...i said to get his company to scream out "LIGHT WEIGHT!!!" and apparently they did..3 times lol
