Grunting in the gym

[Joshuaa1995]

Why the phuck do people have such a problem with it. The people who do are always massive *******s too. I make plenty of noise on heavy sets and have been 'told' by people weighing 120lbs to be quiet, **** doesn't end well for them.

It's been shown in studies that making noise increases power output by about 10%, why not do it?

Thoughts? How much noise do you guys make when lifting and do you think it's acceptable when lifting heavy as ****?

[Mitch666]

I have no problem with it. If you're trying hard you're most likely gonna make some noise.

[kingjames484]

You get kicked out for that..







Haha

[addictedal]

I'm fine with it .. Unless they are grunting over say a 4kg bicep curl

[Tb0282]

I'm fine with it, I think its hard not to if you're lifting heavy enough weight

[rkalsow]

Stop worrying about what other people think. Train for yourself.

[Joshuaa1995]

Have to say this is what I expected. People who are serious bout them there gains and know what hard ****ing work is are fine with it. Dem dere posers that hate my yelling.

I don't usually yell when I work out, but when I do, I sound like I'm going super saiyan.

[sleekycnt277]

Not that difficult to grunt silently. Do you really need to raise your voice just so the entire gym knows you're hardcore?

[Singularity7]

Of course and yes there is a limit, you do not have to exaggerate the shout or grunt.

I seriously wouldn't give a chit since half the guys in my gym throw heavy dumbbells to the floor when they are done with it. Not only the loud thump but every time it is done it damages the dumbbell slowly and they become loose.

Don't yell

Don't grunt on every rep of an 8-12 rep set

Be reasonable

I am doing 8-5-3 and I grunt on my 3 sometimes, but it's not forced and obviously unintentional b/c my face is red and my eyes are coming out of my head.

[TimmyToughNuts]

I dont understand why alot of people out there have an issue with people grunting trying to get their last couple of reps in, i definately think that it does help. I'll often grunt when i want to squeeze in another rep or two and everytime atleast one person will be looking at be like im some sort of freak, it shouldnt be a problem as long as people dont mistake you for Goku.

Don't worry, at 133 lbs no one will mistake you for goku.

grunting fine. no need to yell like you're about to be fukin murdered. happened today with some guy squatting 225 was screaming like someone with an axe was chasing him.

This. I know a guy who takes it a bit overboard and it sounds like he is orgasming and crying at the same time on like first reps of every set of arms and legs.
Sounds ridiculous.
Obviously you need to breathe and when you exert air it will grunt/moan/make noise. I do this on my heavy leg presses only.
It's the same as the kiai in martial arts. You make a loud exerted noise on your power blows to increase power/rage.

[TheBeastTyler]

Oh I guess that's where I'm in the wrong...

[legdaybestday]

If I have to yell "light weight" mid set to pump out a few extra reps I'm going to do it. There is a point though, where it is just unnecessary. I saw this one guy who was probably about 200lbs front squatting 135lbs and was screaming every single rep start to finish...I almost lost my ****

[Davidl1120]

If I'm Squatting or Benching heavy, yeah I grunt.

If your gym is a bunch of pretentious ****'s about it, find a new gym.

[Singularity7]

Personally, I have no problem when people grunt, means they're actually working hard.

Sometimes they grunt to attract attention so people know how hardcore they are.
It happens sometimes and it's douchey.

[crimpz]

people should mind their own f**kin business, it doesn't bother me when other dudes grunt cause im listening to music and im in my F**kin zone, don't f**k with me.

[Brut96]

I have absolutely no problem with grunting at all. I grunt when going for a max or squeezing those last few reps out.

[LiftCore]

Grunting is okay, most of the time it shows that the person actually cares more about their lift rather than what others might think of it, which is how it should be. Yellers... on the other hand... there's no need for that, I would think it's counterproductive in some cases to be honest.

[VICgotgame]

I only do grunts in exercises with big weights. Such as a deadlift, squat, stuff like that. Plus, I've got the bodybuilder in my gym watching me, so I'm safe.

[Aaronza]

had a guy come in who grunted on every rep of every sets, not just normal little grunts fuarking like screaming. really rustled my jimmies there is no need for that its very annoying and distracting

[CWGame]

It annoys me and when I don't use music it bothers me while I'm doing my set. Its unecessary and feels like they are just trying to draw attention.

[Ryhz]

The gym i go is supposed to be one of those hardcore bodybuilding gyms. soo when a skinny ******* comes in they think they need to prove their manliness by grunting and screaming on every rep of their ****ing 1 plate squat. Then there's the big guys that actually shout something like 'oh yeh baby i got this **** light weight' after completing a hard rep. It don't really annoy me because im usually 'in the zone' and it's not like im doing a fkin exam so i can't see how something like someone yelling could distract you from your lift, unless you're a pussy..

[Arcos27]

Last night an overweight dreamer bulk Manlet, (I'm aware if the fact I'm a Manlet too yes, Ty men), was grunting at hella loud on his 405 deadlifts while using the smith machine.

He dropped the weight at the top of the lift, almost snapped up the smith machine then proceeded to lat spread and stare me down after he dropped it.

I started to walk right at him, and I guess he thought I was going to say something, but I was just getting to the calf machine behind him lol.

[IPlayRugby]

I grunt but only when trying to get out that last rep or if im going heavy
