    I do dislike that bro pack that feels the need to tell "its all you bro!" and "push it" while the lifter screams like he's giving birth.

    Some moderate grunting? Do what you do.

    having someone in your ear like that or being on the receiving end of a slap chop can mean the difference between hitting that PR and failing.

    this ain't curves.

    Lmao

    I workout in a weight/powerlifting gym. They look at you funny if you don't grunt and drop your weights.

    Even if they are like really small weights?

    I totally want to go and pick up some pink one pounders with an exaggerated grunt, slam them down on the mat, and then shout, "HELL YEAH, PERSONAL RECORD, BABY!!!!" as I strut out of the gym like Rocky.

    Aahahah! That'd be awesome!

    I don't care what you do, but noisy exertion, like sweating, has absolutely nothing to do with quality of workout.

    ummm OK ….thanks…

    don't want to call attention to yourself, but you post a thread calling attention to yourself….

    hmmm yea, I was not the one saying I am not trying to call attention to myself....

    we get it, you are the bad *kitten* in the gym that everyone complains about...

    This guy is a major troll, just ignore him.

    Walldancer, you are awesome in my opinion. Some people get jealous of heavy lifting, You have to just ignore those haters. They just wish they could be like you. Those that whine about grunting or other noises should take their sorry *kitten* back home to workout.


    Um. no he's not a troll.

    humble brag post is a humble brag post.

    Sorry not sorry that we call it like it is.

    Good for her she's lifting- it's a none issue if she's grunting- lots of people grunt.
    -
    she's not special for it.

    <3 So much this.

    +1 for both

    no they make lighter ones- but usually not at the gym- I think I used 1/2 pound weights rehabbing my shoulder. I didn't even know they made them that small.

    I think one of the funniest moments i saw was when two women grabbed the rubber coated dumbbells from the aerobics room and brought them out to the free weights sections and started doing their workout.

    Fine- whatever. But what was just- hysterical to me- was the fact they were posted up on the heavy heavy side (like 100+) dumbbell section of the weights.

    I have no idea- but the juxtaposition of those tiny weights next to the those big ones just made me crack the hell up.

    Haha, that's me, but I'm lifting all of, like, 15-20 lbs on the cable machines, or I've got a little 10 lb dumbell and am doing rows, and there's this big buff guy standing behind me like "Are you done with this bench?" while I'm CLEARLY bent over all red faced and sweating and making grunting noises as I heave my little 10 lb weight.... yeah, I feel pretty stupid most times, but I'm 5'4", 241 lbs (233 now!) and just started this whole "weights" thing about 2 weeks ago and just doing what my personal trainer said to do... So sorry if I'm in your way, Mr. Muscles. ;) I do my thing in the "serious times" area (with all the free weights) and then scootch on back to the cable machines, but I'm sure not going to work any less hard because I feel awkward and out of place!!

    good.

    Because honestly if you're working hard- no one cares. They'll note "hey she's working hard" and then move on to other things.

    Good for you.

    hahahaha.

    I got yelled at over the weekend for telling someone to not be such an angry heifer. Her husband was not happy, and I wasn't having it.

    maybe it was the "angry" bit that set him off?
