Is it me or...

I know I've posted this on a couple of my inspiraitonal threads before, but when you are doing the "big" weights... do you NOT HEAR anything? I mean, outside noises...I hear my inner body noises... the growling, the throbbing in my head, the air coming out of my mouth... but other than that... I can't hear dick.

I can' hear the music that is on volume 25 out of 30 in my headsets... it's like I'm in my own world for those few seconds...

I'm just curious, because I see guys at my gym talking during their sets.

It's not just you.

I am so focused on myself that i here nothing but my noises and my spotter yelling.

 

[JOKER47]

I can hear some...But there is no way I could hold a conversation.

C-ditty, we joke at PL comps, and in the gym too, about how we never hear the press command after a pause at the bottom of a bench. I never once heard Benchmonster screaming "UP" when I hit parallel on my squat. It was just me and a spot on the wall in front of me. They say there were judges and spectators...

 

[Liftbig]

right on spatts, its tough to focus on listening for the press call.
but i am so jacked when i get on the bench i just lower the bar and anticipate the call and as soon as he says press i unleash everything.

Damn. I never thought about it. But, now that I do, I've never heard anything while the weight is moving during that rep(like you said, despite the cranked tunes). I get all fired up with the best part of a song, grab the bar, then that's it...nothing.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with this sort of Insanity... and I LIKE IT!

it's exactly the same for me.

I thought i was the only special one here , it is weird my friends all talk during their lifts and right after, but when I go I can't hear them and can't talk right after because I am trying to catch my breath

 

[gettinlarger]

it's exactly the same for me.

Me as well.

 

[needsize]

I can sometimes hear my training partner as he compares me to his mom...I hate that as she is off the boat Polish and I cant compete with that...

 

[BodybuildingUniverse]

If you are going HEAVY, I would say a serious 5 reps or under, than talking during a set is impossible. The same ones talking are probably answering cell phone calls between sets, etc. get serious.

I'm in the zone to.

 

[louden_swain]

I can't here anything. All I can see is me performing the exercise. In my head I think about how the muscle works and how to control a heavy weight.

I love bodybuilding!!!

When I am doing 8 to 10 rep sets then sometimes I can talk, but when I'm going heavy with low reps I zone out and just grunt and yell.

When I locked out my latest and biggest dead and turned to my partner and started talking shit to him while I squeezed by traps good and hard though
