Gym noise

SRZrasoul Posts: 153 Joined: 2002/07/03	2004/03/28, 03:06 AM Who here gets annoyed when some people at the gym get under heavy weight and start screaming and howling when they push their reps? Im just waiting for a day to come when one of those guys is gasy and cuts the cheese on his last rep :(

Some times it takes a grunt or a scream to get the explosion you need to get that last few reps out. Why dont you go to the water walking class at the ymca with the older folks if you need peace and quiet.:laugh: ps: I personally have let loose a grunt moan and some gass at the gym.:laugh: -------------- I am that which must be feared, worshipped and adored.

The only exercise I make any audible noise is deadlift because it takes every ounce of energy in me to get that freakin weight up. -------------- Baseball is wrong: Man with four balls cannot walk.

It is almost like a mini-kiyaa like in karate (hup), but the screamers do annoy me. There used to be guy at Ballys who sounded like a freakin' weight room porno. I liked the guiy - really nice guy, trying really hard to lose weight, but, dude, cut the crap and focus on lifting instead of how much noise you can make. You could hear him in the locker room on the other side of the gym. A bit excessive. Gas comes with the territory, what do you expect from a bunch of protein chugging, fiber/vegetable eating monsters? But it is nasty when they do it in front of the fan. i have almost fallen off the treadmill before. The worst is when they run by on the track around the cardio area and fart every time they pass the fan.... ugho:surprised: -------------- If you fall down seven times, get up eight.

I really hate to do it with a lot of people around, bu i do know that I don't scream for the sake of screaming or to draw attention to myself. It really does help though.

TRad Posts: 94 Joined: 2004/01/03	2004/04/21, 11:32 PM There's nothing like letting out a big 'aarrrghhhh ggahh yeeesSSSS!!!' scream to get the entire gym to notice you. And if that doesn't do it, be sure to slam the weights down and let out an 'OH YAH BABY, who's your daddy!' once you're done. And for a nice finishing touch look in the mirror and all at once flex and yell out 'BaM!' Before you know it everyone in the gym will know who you are. My sarcasm isn't meant to offend those people who do grunt or make noises in the gym because it is helpful to their workout. I let some out myself. There's just a difference between 'natural' and excessive. but whatever...it will never stop me from working out. In fact, it kinda makes me laugh, and I'll have a funny story to tell later on.
