people that yell and scream at the gym

[Groggery]

That's part of going to failure..breaking those barriers.

Do you even understand what you just said?

[Unbiasedfan]

Ewwww.

ahah

[jld010]

screaming when attempting a max no matter what size you are is understandable. makes me angry sometimes, but i get it. throwing weights, dumbells gets me infuriated. sometimes i stare at smeone when e throwsa the weight and i shake my head jsut to make sure he saw me. hehe

[SammyJr]

Ewwww.

Yeah lol reading his post I was thinking about this. Dat wording

[lancs_hotpot]

I love this topic. People will hate me. I regularly drop a loaded barbell after rows or deadlifts, shout YEEEP!! before a set, people hear me down the street on leg day. People who give funny looks or disaprove i just say f*ck you

Ewwww.

Lol'd

Yes, you implied that people who yell have low pain threshold but when you go to failure, you obviously break through that ''threshold''/barrier whatever you want to call it.

This is not really needed but let me break it down for you - high threshold = no noise whatsoever no matter how hard it gets. There's nothing to break through, those that let out yells like they're under a rock need to toughen up.

I don't yell myself, only that one time but I do grunt when going to failure. Have you ever gone to failure? I doubt you'd keep a straight face, smile and breath properly, it's more mental than anything.

I have, and i just stay silent. It's called concentration.

If what you claim is true, I applaud you for it, I wish I could do it silently but it's beyond me to believe that someone can go to failure without even a small grunt. And I don't mean failure as in you have a hard last rep. I'm talking about having no more than the power to do the starting point of the movement, so maybe like 1/5th of the ROM.

There are times when I grunt loudly. But only at max weights. Heres a tip, if you are going to be loud make sure you are moving the kind of poundage that will make people forgiving of your loudness. Not many people forgive someone screaming while he bangs out that last squat with 135.

This +1

Well, i would bertstare you if you drop 110 pound dumbells, or 140kg(305 pound) barbell rows. If they 135s on the dumbells or 350s(160kg) on the barbell, i would nod my head in approval. Lighter than those weights at your size..you doing it wrong

ps: Do Americans do the metric conversion in your head? its pretty simple, and using kg is easier.

I think if you are training intensely and going to the limit its all good regardless of weight (to a certain extent). Also its just some peoples stlyle.

On your point about weights i row 140kg strict, Dorian style, sometimes a bit heavier. I dont think its fair to say at my size i should be doing more. Ive seen vids of pros rowing 140kg with worse form than me lol and i dont drop dumbbells, always catch them on my knees.

lol this one kid I used to always see, most normal looking dude, would wear full sweats and a beanie, and swing weight like branch warren grunting like a mad man. I would always know to avoid him because he smelled like ****. Must have been all the clothing but the smell would give me headaches.

On another note, there's this big dude at the gym who always calls attention to himself. Probably the most impressive physique at the gym, but he walks around whistling extremely loud, everybody stares lol.

And I dont mind people making noise, throwing weights or whatever. As long as you're moving weight that warrants that, and aren't throwing the dumbells towards me, which happens quite often.

[babyslayer]

when i lift usually a sound comes out, i dont do it on purpose at all its just naturally what happens because im breathing out while under extreme stress. before i do really heavy lifts rarely il let out a short sharp yell/scream because it spikes my adrenalin and lets me lift heavier

[mrsnruB1111]

i think a grunt is acceptable, especially working with max weights or with good form. when i try to go mike mentzer mode with super slow negatives sometimes i grunt
