Screamers/grunters - your thoughts

[SPORT SCIENTIST]

Most people grunt on the last rep of a heav set, but this guy tok it to a new level.
In my last gym, there was this Spanish guy who screamed like a girl after every rep, even the first few. What's more he was really skinny, like Mr Bean at about 130lbs. You literally could tell what he was doing, because he had a different pitched scream depending on the machine he was on. No one told him anything, 'cos it was just too entertaining!
Anyone else had experience with screamers/grunters?

YEAA..

i bet i've already told this story but there's this one guy who comes in with his partner(both 5'8 240 30%BF) and the spotter will be screamin at the guy while the guy doing the exercise(machine or freeweight) grunts incessantly.
It gets to the point after 20 minutes of looking over at them and thinking 'what the hell' that it just gets flat out annoying.
Worst thing is they will get on the SMITH bench and put on ~140 pounds and go through their grunting routine. Basically any workout they do is sloppy and under weighted, yet they grunt loudly the whole time.

Man, that shit pisses me off. But it IS entertaining.

There was a "gold tooth set" type dude at the gym today doing various triceps exercises, who growled, grunted, or barked on every rep. It was really distracting. He was also growling like a dog when he went to the water fountain.

Ohhh... we are talking about the gym.
Those guys are the most entertaining in the gym. Swinging pink dumbells and grunting like it is a car.
No I don't work out at AAP's gym.

GRrrrr!!!! I have a pair JUST like that at my gym, extremely annoying!! I keep thinking that SOMEONE must be more annoyed than me, and will soon tell them to shut their pie-holes, but no... not yet. Amongst all the shouting, they do 2 horribly bad reps, then drop the dumbells FAR too close to your own feet.. hate them, hate them, hate them.

I moan when pooping.

We had a couple in the gym. She would scream at him "come on baby, its nothin", he would grunt like a madman and let out huge screams the whole gym could hear.

They thought they were so cool, they had no idea the whole gym was laughing at them. The first time I heard them I expected this dude to be a huge man. I walked around the corner to where they were and started laughing, he is a tiny runt with huge ILS.

My old gym had this guy named Kenny! Well Kenny would talk to himself and loudly. He would scream before doing presses. "come on Kenny!!!! Time to grow Kenny!!!! No one can do it but you Kenny!!" Post set was the old "Good set Kenny" LOL

He was a 45 year old out of shape fat guy. We would stop our workout to watch him and laugh.

I scream and grunt and growl when having sex. Does that count?

Tuc... never speak again. Thanks.

 

[ChefWide]

GRrrrr!!!! I have a pair that just wont quit...

er... uh...

 

[tuc biscuit]

occasionaly for the last set of the workout me and my workout partner like to try and make the other one laugh mid set, does anyone else do this?

Kenny doesn't like you laughing at him!!

 

[Seashell]

Kenny needs to stop talking in the third-person, that alone calls for a dumbell to the face.

 

[bluepeter]

Kenny is not impressed with your humour.

 

[biteme]

WE had this guy that would do a set of seated dumbbell curls, grunting and swinging the weight on every rep. He would drop the weight on the floor on the last rep, jump up off the bench with great speed, point to himself in the mirror and say, "Yeay baby, you da man!!"

 

[tuc biscuit]

I had one guy once in the gym look at me, needless to say I beat him to a bloody pulp......can you believe the cheek of some people?

 

[sasharawkz]

Ils!!!!!!!! Lmfao

Kenny wasn't all there, I think everyone in the gym was afraid to make eye contact with him in case he went postal and pulled out a gun.

His wardrobe was also a classic. Red sweats that were about 4 inches too short and a grey sweatshirt with arms and neck cut out!!!


Kenny was my secret gym mentor!!

lmao at Tuc's revenge list.

 

[GoldenDelicious]

yeah, theres a few of those at my gym and yeah, i always wonder if they do the same thing in bed

anyway, this one time (at band camp), there was this asian guy who looked sort of like bruce lee...if you put bruce lee into a barrel, and cut out arm and leg holes. anyway, this guy used to use a lot of gear, compete at a national level etc etc but had given up for a few years, and had recently gone back on the gear to 'get back into it'. so, he's there dumbbell curling the 50's, and impersonating a woman in labour with Andre the Giant's baby, when i step up and grab the 55s and start curling them - silently, with no expression on my face (until later, when i had to )

anyway, gave me a bit of a boost that day

You can tell the inside of a man when he lifts heavy.
No shit, but, many dudes who try hard sound like they are getting fucked in the ass.
It actually irritates me. But it is kind of funny.

Personally, I do it like powerlifters:

I take a deep breath and hold it and knock out a couple of reps.

No sound.



Yo.
