I agree with half. I just hate the peeps that grunt for attention....I personally like to be silent but deadly in the gym. I don't mind grunting though, if it makes you work out better than have at it. People who complain about grunting need to work out a little harder and just focus on their workout, not someone else's workout. Grunting ain't like second hand smoking so I don't see why people would complain.
BTW Nate, good to see you again We just need those 49ers to start winning once again and my life will get much better.
I don't think it is necessary to lift heavy weights. I seen/heard some knuckle head grunting on the Smith Machine.If you are going balls out on a set with max weights, then you are going to make some sort of noise. People should just focus on their training instead of worrying about what someone else is doing. I know that gyms are trying to cater to the average person, but training is still about pushing yourself to a higher level of performance.
I guess you could say that my philosophy is quit b!tching and train.
True, if some beanpole starts barking while curling 25's than I'd be enraged because that's clearly an attention whore. However, I don't mind chicks who gruntYou have retards that think they are lifting heavy weights so they grunt for attention.
So, I see both sides...
Grunting can also be attributed to bad breathing technique so you're right, it won't always translate into a better workout in my experience.I don't think it is necessary to lift heavy weights. I seen/heard some knuckle head grunting on the Smith Machine.
I actually trained with a mouth piece before, and actually felt I was able to push harder while bitting down. Not favorable if you are a grunter.
If you are deadlifting a max triple, then you are going to make some sort of noise. That being said, if it really bothers you, then get an iPod.I don't think it is necessary to lift heavy weights. I seen/heard some knuckle head grunting on the Smith Machine.

Well doing some sort of bent-over movement :stick:However, I don't mind chicks who grunt
Especially bent-over movements LOL. I also prefer them when they rate at a 7 or better on my scale for my entertainment purposesWell doing some sort of bent-over movement :stick:
Pay attention t3wl. Never said it bothered me. Making a noise and grunting are two different things. You act like you are lifting Ronnie Coleman weight...If you are deadlifting a max triple, then you are going to make some sort of noise. That being said, if it really bothers you, then get an iPod.
I never said that it did bother you; you assumed that I was speaking to you instead of in generalities. I have heard these complaints while working in gyms and it is generally because of intimidation rather than offense.Pay attention t3wl. Never said it bothered me. Making a noise and grunting are two different things. You act like you are lifting Ronnie Coleman weight...
BTW
I have an iPod, just pointing out why some people might be offended, but obviously you are incapable of seeing another person's perspective.
calm down. as usual.Pay attention t3wl. Never said it bothered me. Making a noise and grunting are two different things. You act like you are lifting Ronnie Coleman weight...

more so false advertising. with all those loud noises I'd be expecting to see something good.furthermore, who is it hurting?
so the guy thinks he's better than he actually is...again I ask, who is it hurting?more so false advertising. with all those loud noises I'd be expecting to see something good.
:lol: Grunting is not the release of air. The release of air is called breathing. I never heard a sprinter grunt, and they breath quite hard.calm down. as usual.
...grunting is the release of air. when you perform a rep, you should be breathing in. and exhaling opon completion. this excess air will have built up force and must be let out.
i haven't read the article yet, but if it's anti-grunting, then it's just plain ignorant.
...although i hate people who grun on light sets or grunt all the time, and if you do this after someone has mentioned it to you a few times, the membership should be null in void. And it definitely has to do with the stigma of each individual gym.
pass a lot of air through a small opening, it will make a noise.:lol: Grunting is not the release of air. The release of air is called breathing. I never heard a sprinter grunt, and they breath quite hard.
Reread your quote to me.I never said that it did bother you; you assumed that I was speaking to you instead of in generalities. I have heard these complaints while working in gyms and it is generally because of intimidation rather than offense.
I...That being said, if it really bothers you, then get an iPod.
You were acting like a jackass to my post, so don't be a hypocrite.Also, you don't have to act like a jackass towards someone else's perspective. Even while I am lifting on max effort days, I am still respectful of the environment, but there will inevitably be some noise coming out of me. I am not going to worry about whether or not I am bothering other people while I am training. I don't b!tch about their behavior at their jobs, so I expect the same respect.
But not a grunt. A grunt is a verbal sound, and not created by air passing through your esophagus.pass a lot of air through a small opening, it will make a noise.
I believe people misconstrue and take things out of context.so the guy thinks he's better than he actually is...again I ask, who is it hurting?
I'm pretty sure a grunt it created that way. it's the build up of pressure.But not a grunt. A grunt is a verbal sound, and not created by air passing through your esophagus.
And in the end if it's that little extra mental edge that helps me dealift 600lbs one day...fvck it.I believe people misconstrue and take things out of context.
Nothing is wrong with grunting, and it doesn't hurt anybody.
Grunting is not necessary though while lifting heavy weights.
I noticed a lot of the grunters are posers, grunting for attention and trying to lift heavy weights with bad form. And no that does not mean anybody who grunts is a poser.
If you are a grunter then that is cool. I don't think it aids in lifting heavy weights, but more of a mental edge.
I just grunted right now after exhaling, so no little air/pressure in my lungs. So no it is not created the same way. Go ahead try it....I'm pretty sure a grunt it created that way. it's the build up of pressure.
Haven't you ever had a little trouble in the water closet? Same concept.
I couldn't agree more, and if you you actually paid attention, no one ever said you couldn't grunt.And in the end if it's that little extra mental edge that helps me dealift 600lbs one day...fvck it.
What up dude. Nice to be back. I don't know about you, but I'm really disappointed in the Niners right now. WTF is going on bro?BTW Nate, good to see you again We just need those 49ers to start winning once again and my life will get much better.
huh?I tell you a bunch peeps act like women.
The 49ers are gonna be the cause of my death from a heart attack if they keep this up LOL. We desperately need a receiver and a pass rusher, like right fvckin now.What up dude. Nice to be back. I don't know about you, but I'm really disappointed in the Niners right now. WTF is going on bro?
Grunting isn't an issue. It's those fools who yell like they just came. Kind of unnecessary, especially if I can hear that crap through my headphones (which are pretty loud by the way).
I see where you're going with that...but consider this:I've got a tie for the loudest grunts at my university. It's between this dude who was benching 135 and a guy doing 405 lb squats for reps, making lots of noise between reps 12 and 16.
I agree with the unnecessary grunting during warm up sets...that's a bit over the top...drama...attention-getting perhaps...There was a bloke grunting at my gym tonight.............he was doing reverse curls with just the bar. It was clearly a warm up. Thats what i hate the most, insane facial expressions and uneccessary grunting during warmup sets.
Yeah, stuff like that doesn't really bother me. In fact, most of the time I don't even notice considering I'm more focused on what I'm doing. Instead of making fun of or degrading these people introduce yourself and show them the correct way to do it. Some people are actually very appreciative of this, especially the people who haven't been weightlifting for very long. We've all been there.I agree with the unnecessary grunting during warm up sets...that's a bit over the top...drama...attention-getting perhaps...
Do the facial expressions really bother you?
I know it can be annoying, but sometimes i just have to laugh at guys like that...
I agree, I watch these old fellas working out with the 20lbs db for their chest, grunting as if they were giving birth, or working with a smooth 95lbs flat bench with the same noises. It is friggin annoying.You have retards that think they are lifting heavy weights so they grunt for attention.
So, I see both sides...
I'm not sure how to interpret that..must have been a typo....but if you're going to failure on some tricep pulldowns, don't you occasionally let out a sound of umph/pain/comeongetmeonelastreppastfailure ?If you think it's okay to grunt when things are heavy then they may actually be 135 pound bench press. .
