Grunting/Yelling in the Gym

**DannyboySC** · 09-02-2007, 07:49 AM

Do you guys grunt or yell in the gym while workign out, I must say that when I do certain things such as Bench, Squats, Leg Press, and Curls, I usually always make some sort of noise lol. But I think we can all agree that some guys just seriously over do the yelling, just yelling out for no reason at all.

yes some guys really over do it...like yelling REALLY LOUD...its uncalled for...and there not even lifting alot....i usually let out a grunt if im having a hard time on my last rep ...but now that loud....

**Thomas_Uru** · 09-02-2007, 07:53 AM

i do...when it's the last rep, and it's really heavy. however, most of the time, my spotter's the one yelling to motivate me

**_Bladen_** · 09-02-2007, 07:59 AM

Theres one of those bench/curlers every day at my gym....

Curls w/ 15 pound dumbells
Dumbell Presses w/ 35 pound dumbells

Guys around 160 at 5'10

Screams on every rep.

If I see him I have to leave and come back or else it ruins my workout. Just can't stop laughing lol.

**LIl_ronnie** · 09-02-2007, 08:01 AM

^^^ Negged for letting others ruin your workout...prick...

**Rigit23** · 09-02-2007, 08:02 AM

I used to be really self conscience about it, but now I just don't care. Occasionally I grunt or yell. I never do it for attention but if it happens, so be it.

**Ricky_k** · 09-02-2007, 08:04 AM

if you intetionaly do it then its not needed.

I dont plan my grunts or yells, they just come out

lol little one here negged me for my post? And called a prick. OMG you hurt my feelings. Sorry but I kinda need to concentrate on my workouts with minimal distractions, trying to go pro in 2-3 years isn't going to be easy.

Sorry I don't have the approval of an immature 15 year old.

But yes, the ocassional grunt or random slurge of words but no screaming.

**ArmstrongMike** · 09-02-2007, 08:11 AM

i would call my noise a low volume longated growl lol there's this @sshole at my gym that he's a huge guy but he does such puss weights like quarter squatting 225 for 3 reps and he yells and shouts while and after his set.

Your mom likes it

**Xtralarge123** · 09-02-2007, 08:39 AM

there was a women yelling as loud as she could when she was squating 135....... i started to laugh but she couldn't hear me because she was yelling to loud.

**self_made_hawk** · 09-02-2007, 08:46 AM

I try not to but sometime a small grunt will sneak out. I usually smile when I squat. I love what i see when I squat!

**bomberodescarga** · 09-02-2007, 08:59 AM

I know not everyone likes it but for me I gain some sort of extra strength and reps in when I do that. Its a mental thing and hey it works for me why not use it and gain more for your workout? I mean i'm in the gym to get stronger, why would I let others interfere?

**eeeeee!** · 09-02-2007, 09:04 AM

sometimes if im with my buddies, we yell as loud as we can,
just cause its stupid/funny.

**Mr. Manlet** · 09-02-2007, 09:08 AM

**dude323** · 09-02-2007, 09:53 AM

i only grunt of yell when i am lifting real heavy, other than that then no.

**KevinSorbo** · 09-02-2007, 10:02 AM

lol @ grunting doing curls..i only grunt during the big 3, possibly some shoulders or arm stuff

**Lean_and_Mean** · 09-02-2007, 10:03 AM

I rarely grunt and usually never yell. Just heavy breathing.

There was this one tool the other day who was squatting 1 plate on each side of the smith machine (so 105 pounds I think total) and he was making so much damn noise I almost yelled at him to shut up. Meanwhile I was doing stiff legged deads with like 315 and barely making a sound haha.

**CRyan64** · 09-02-2007, 10:17 AM

Not really. I probably breathe pretty loud and when i set the equipment down it might be a little loud but thats it.

Lmao..I thought of myself for a second but I dont grunt and I atleast do 20-25 lb dumbells for curls! *feels manly*

**Beowolf Agate** · 09-02-2007, 11:06 AM

Sixth and final rep of my fourth and final set of front squats, I'll let out a assortment of grunts. Last set/rep of deadlifts I might grunt a bit too. Never grunted on a bench or any other pressing movement though. Too focused on my breathing.

Lol I have a really funny story about something like this. Last summer my family went to Flordia for vacation. My cousins live there so we went to go visit. So me and my cousin go to the gym he goes to. So we're in there doing the do and this little nerdy ass ****er with sports goggles comes walkin in with this really tiny tank top. That was funny for us to see right there. This kid is about 100 lbs by the looks of it. He gets on the bench and starts lifting the ****n bar by itself with no weights. The kid is screaming to the top of his lungs. After about 7-8 reps he stops. We're just looking at each other. My cousin just walks over and looks at the kid at about a foot's worth of distance. Moment of silence...AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. He starts fake laughing as loud as he can. The kid was just like w/e man.

**InfiniteExcel** · 05-07-2011, 09:02 PM

The only noise I make is on the final portion of my final reps on a heavy set of squats. Because that's the only time it just..comes out, lol. My breathing, however..is ear-piercing at the echo-y gym I lift at. (srs)

I find it just sends out the wrong vibes/why do it if you don't need too? I'd think actually flat-out yelling wouldn't even help, at all. When you're struggling having that air is really important.

**Woundwort** · 05-07-2011, 09:09 PM

I only make a noise when it comes out involuntarily, and it sounds like a grunt really and only when i'm doing the last rep.
