Nice setup. You just need a heavy bag to complete it, lol.
I have a home gym and it’s great. I’ve never had to workout at a commercial gym luckily. My friends come over and we put on death metal and start yelling and cussing all while going for pr’s. You can’t do that at a gym lol.
I remember seeing a video of Branch shit on Gold’s Gym and say it is nothing like it used to be. Now MetroFlex is a different story, hence why he trains there.
Fuck Golds
I’ve seen this guy grunt on triceps kickbacks. True story.

lol, like one of those chicks you just look at and your like, “Man, she just looks like a bitch”
I’m surprised that someone would get kicked out of Golds for grunting. I’ve worked out at 6 different Golds Gyms (I moved a lot:P) and I never saw anything like that. But it could be a new trend. After all, 3 of those Golds Gyms were turned into something (a MMA gym which is ok, a privately own one who might be going down the toilet, and shudders a 24HR Fitness with a lunk alarm.)
To the OP: nice setup btw.

Kind of like Goldie Hawn in Private Benjamin
When you grunt/ yell etc. you produce more force. An 8 reps or one rep max. Proven by science. If you do eight reps with a grunt/yell you’ll be able to use more weight/ reps if you yell grunt on reps. I do it on upper body only on squats or total body lifts i just like the forceful breath out since it keeps tension in the abs at all times (grunt tightens them but it loosens at certain times I think).
Try a set of eight do your next set with loud grunts, it’ll be easier. I could be mental or physical or both
Edit: Only grunting on last say three reps grunting on all eight reps would use up energy and be exhausting.
I train at home alone and always grunt/ yell so it’s certainly not for attention
I have been lifting at a Golds Gym for years, Golds Gym Kirkland Washington. The other day I was reading this article on elitfts http://www.elitefts.com/documents/stupid_gym_rules.htm and not a single thing in this atricle applies to my gym.
There are things that bug me at my gym but its mostly the 12" bicep guys wearing cut off shirts doing concentration curls.
You can do anything at my gym, Get loud, slam weights use chalk fucking whatever, I deadlift bear foot.

Check out the first photo, the heavy bag is off to the right. Try hitting the bag after you do shoulders, it is a fucking intense burn!
that’s overanalysing right now
We all know a red car goes faster than a yellow one.
Grunting during INTENSE training is the same, you get to lift more.
Having a red ferrari and doing wheel spins in the McDonalds car park is douchbag behaviour, no matter what the colour of the car.
Grunting and screaming to get attention, no matter what the weight, is douchy as well.
I have heard, and am under the impression, that Golds is going the way of all the high priced pussy gyms. All macines and cardio. I also heard on Off Topic Radio that they are taking down the bodybuilder photos. I guess it is another business losing touch with it’s roots while some soft puffy dickhead runs it like an accountant.
Thats a nice home gym.
I personally wouldn`t buy half the equipment you have.Some of the machines are unnecessary, at least to me.
As for this grunting discussion, LOL I grunt but only in certain exercises and at the very last reps. even then its very “low volume”. If you breath properly you dont grunt to much.
Just my two cents.

Do you leave a foot print in the chalk dust that looks like this?[/quote]
Damnit you beat me. Oh well yours is way better anyways.
.
I am curious anyone ever try going to failure, and then make the most fucked up grunting whining sound ever? I did it once so fucking bad that everyone in the gym just all started laughing at me, an old man came up and said some thig about bloing my asshole out it was great. They were all good hearted about it because I am not constantly grunting but this was my last set and I was pushing it hard.

Grunting is cool when your moving a respectable amount of weight, and actually doing a real lift (by that I mean squat, bench & deadlift.) If I see a guy grunting on the pec deck, or doing preachur curls ill LOL a tiny bit.[/quote]
Yepper. I only grunt on the big 3. I used to grunt for every rep in an 8 rep set and got told off by the big guys at the gym. Now I only grunt (only need to as well) on my max lifts.
On the plus side I picked up a cool nickname though “One Grunt”. People who I never knew seen at parties and said “Hey! Its One Grunt!”. Good times

Huh that is funny once I lifted with some of the bigger regulars at my gym, afterwards we were in the shower room cleaning up, I earned the nickname “One Nut” that day. People I never knew would come up to me at parties and say hey One Nut.
I am j/k just a little jest.
