The only time I ever grunt is when I'm powering over the very top of a beast of a hill while mountain biking. It's like super-charging that last bit of effort needed to make the summit. I also bare my teeth like an animal when I'm close to the top and feel like I need more power. It helps. I swear it does. But I never grunt with weights. I make faces, though. Probably really ugly ones...

I recently started lifting (using a trainer to help with program but then I go out to the gym on my own) and this sentence struck me. I wonder if I am doing that. How can you be sure you are working muscles. I just assumed if you lift the weight you must be working the muscle. Any insight? Thanks.

I've grunted occasionally on setting new PRs with hip thrusts...I also attempt to make eye contact with randoms to get the full creep effect.

There's this tiny woman in my gym who comes over in her matchy-matchy pink velour track suit and long nails, rows slowly with the worst possible form for 5 minutes, and gives me looks the whole time like I'm the weirdo.

I think she was in my gym last week, except wearing blue. She was doing this very strange sort of stop-motion row where she'd push back with her legs, pause, yank the handle up like she was trying to rip it right out of the machine, move forward until the handle hit her thighs, then pick up the handle, move it up over her knees, sort of tap it on her shins, and the whole faintly disturbing movement would start all over again. Every time I looked at her she was giving my tattoos and gym hair the epic stank-eye. Look, lady, at least I'm not rowing like the only song on my ipod is Funeral March for a Marionette.
