That final complex was a gasser. I was also supposed to do rollouts, but ran out of time. Tomorrowm maybe.
Today I went to the gym right after work because my son is taking karate class there. Anyways this is quite a different bunch of people than the early morning crowd. For starters theres just MORE of them. And in the basement weight room I had to deal with a pair of muscled-up meatheads ejaculating their way through their heavy sets so f##king loudly I could hear the porn-like groaning over my iPod. Holy crap. I’ve had to deal with grunters before but this was in a completely different universe.
To anyone who might be part of the “loud” crowd. There is absolutely no dignity, nor even so much as a shred of badass-ness in screaming through your workout. Real men, who push real weight, lift in silence. The louder you yell, the bigger a douchebag you are.
Brett - I’m apsiring to join your “achievement through over-work” class. Actually it’s part of a HIGH volume phase of the program I’m following. It hurts gooooooood.
Null - The work wasn’t sick, but I nearly was.
embo, username, and dogg - Thanks for defending my AWESOMEness.
Matty - Thanks for the props, but I think the reason my numbers got good in a hurry was because they SUCKED. Like I said before, I have worked my ass off to get to the staring line. And very nice ink.

Does a grunt count on a heavy squat attempt?

Nope!!! Of course, if you’re at PF, you can’t even breath heavy so a grunt would be grounds for dismissal.

I just had a long and dsiturbing Facebook chat with a friend of mine who does contract work overseas. He was stuck in Tripoli when all the loveliness went down in Libya. He caught a bullet in the jaw from a ricochet and is finally back in the country.
“Kent, I have seen death.” He told me.
I’m really upset. But not as much as him. The world is a broken place.

There was supposed to be more lifting, but the same pair of meatheads were monopolizing the basement weight room again. This time they added a groupie and as a threesome they were dry-humping their way through such a loud workout I couldn’t turn my iPod up high enough to drown them out. Eventually I had enough and stormed upstairs to finish my workout in the upstairs “weight room lite”. I complained to the lady behind the desk who marched down stairs and delivered a smack-down.
A##holes like that give all of us who lift a bad name. What a waste of good carbon.
I donâ??t mind an occasional grunt or groan when working hard when doing it myself, but there is a distinct difference between making noise because your working hard and making noise to get yourself noticed , I hate that hey look at me BS, Like the kid next to me yesterday, I admitedly was impressed at seeing a basically thin kid get 5 reps of 405 at 175. But I could of done w/o the King Kong noises between sets.

I can’t understand how someone can scream on the first rep and then go on and do another ten!. Maybe a grunt on the last “do or die rep”, but on every single rep? Sorry that’s just being a dick.
It’s the same in tennis, maybe OK on a serve but on a bloody drop shot?. Grunters have ruined tennis too.
I have too agree. Its one thing for a person grunting or some other form of vocalization. But sure as hell not on every exercise. This should only happen every once in a great while on a truly heavy set or a max attempt in my book.True story when I was in college I seen some guy who maybe was 145 lbs doing maybe 60lbs curls and the idiot was screaming on damn near every rep.
Just finished my deadlifting. I’ve got 2 liters of shakes in my belly. I’ve got a 5-egg veggies omlette and a salad bowl full flax/protein powder/oatmeal on deck and I’ve NO desire to eat any of it. Holy crap I’m so tired of eating…
I’ll crank out a proper update later. Cav, my boy is knocked flat by the flu. I’m going to culture his mucous and stick it in the bully’s milk.
