    Science has proven that grunting is a sound.
    As science is well aware, the louder the sound the heavier the object.
    So if everyone can't hear you lifting weights your doing it wrong.
    Thoughts?
    I grunt when I fart. What does science say about that?

    I just looked up Mike Tornabene and I think I like Dom Mazzetti better. ;)

    I don't make sounds or faces when lifting, guess my 360 pound deadlift doesn't count.

    Nope..

    I love Dom videos, but I don't want to go to the gym with Dom. Although I can appreciate the occasional grunt.

    I'd rather involuntarily grunt than fart

    A nice long run always brings out the farts for me. And the poops. Seriously. Always take a pre-run dump. Peristalsis will not be denied.

    I grunt and make faces at the very end of a rowing machine sprint. It's involuntary and not very loud. I hope.

    I just noticed myself doing this today! Hopefully the lady leisurely pulling underhanded up to her chin next to me didn't mind.

    Ha! Yes! 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.

    Lol! I guess she's making the rounds. That up-over-the-knees thing drives me crazy.

    i keep looking for a way to crowbar in that little billy connolly riff about making the special old-man noise as he gets out of a chair.

    i feel so sure there's a place of it somewhere in here. but maybe that's just because billy connolly, and i'm actually wrong.

    I usually make quiet, unearthly growling noises during the last few reps... no grunting. :open_mouth: Generally I'm quite boring and quiet.... or laughing at something I'm listening to. Thankfully I lift in my basement.

    He needs more 45s...

    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.

    You HAVE to grunt with hip thrusts though. That, and make eye contact with everyone.
