Is it a farting sound? That would be hilarious.
Coming out of the hole, I make a an “mmmmmmpphhh” sound, at the sticking point this evolves into an “ahhhhrrrghhhhhhhuuuuhhh” and I lockout with a pronounced “PUH”.
Then I ejaculate.

A silent 20 rep widowmaker is an oxymoron unless you are Superman or are using Styrofoam plates.
I grunt on the last couple of reps on a heavy set. I also breath heavy and spit all over the mirror behind the squat rack.
I also do a little psyche up bellows breathing before heavy low rep attempts that tends to freak people out.
Am possibly guilty of caveman pacing at times as well.

Hysterical.
One of the guys at our gym moans on just about every rep of every exercise he does. Sounds like he is blowing his load, maybe he just really likes the pump…
Its not very loud and he is one of the biggest guys at the gym moving some impressive weight so noone says anything. The look on peoples faces when they hear it for the first time is pretty classic.
Although he is a very helpful and nice guy, all he ever seems to be doing is cable crossovers and cable triceps extensions. He doesn’t work his legs cause his knees are bad…
I wish there were some guys at my gym at the level that I am trying to achieve.
who doesn’t grunt? question is…who farts when squatting? accidently of course. i always try to let it out quietly beforehand if i feel one coming on so it’s not loud as hell and bring a bunch of attention
One of the trainers at my gym does what borders on a scream on every rep, first to last, of every exercise he does. I’ve never been around somebody that makes so much noise with so little weight…we’re talking body weight standing calf raises.
We have private bathrooms at my gym so if I feel even the slightest gas coming on before a set of squats I hit the bathroom and unload.

Fuck it. Flatulence is human nature. I’ll do my best to shield my farts from others, but you can believe I’m going to let 'em rip when they arrive.

I once farted on a grinding rep. It literally lasted like 30 seconds at least.
After I was done I had to check the platform to make sure I hadn’t shat everywhere.
Yes, absolutely; I don’t think you’re really pushing enough weight if you don’t grunt while squatting.
if you are not bright red and having to grunt a little on the last few reps of your last set, your full of failure… I wont put a weight on it. But you better be pushing yourself. I know I do…

A couple years ago I was training for a Marathon and in the mornings I would try to get a long run in - 15 miles or so. ALWAYS around 9 miles I would expel metric tons of some noxious and evil gas. The people running next to me and in front of me would soon stop running and move to another machine or just leave to some other part of the gym. Nothing I could do to stop it…
red face…check
veins popping out of forehead…check
gritting teeth…check
a lil drool on my bottom lip…sometimes
guttural noises…never

Cool avatar. I hear the KFC gut version is about 5 times that size.
There’s nothing wrong with grunting. There is something wrong with being an ass and yelling at the top of your lungs just so everyone notices you more.
There are places you can yell (like a powerlifting or hardcore gym where everyone is very serious and cheering each other on), but the average public gym today isn’t the place for it.
Also, if you are pressing a very average weight yet screaming out loud, you look like a douche. If you are going to be making that much noise, at least have the decency to be pressing some serious weight.[/quote]
I told the guy that I was sorry to hear that, and I’ll be careful(insert rolly eyes emoticon here). I love me some squatting, and grunting inevitably happens. I’m not too obnoxious though. Thankfully, I had 315 on the bar, and for me, that’s pretty hefty.
When I lived in Arlington, TX, I lifted at Metroflex where you know who trains. Noise was never an issue there. God I miss that place.
I grunt when I open a Diet Pepsi Max for added affect. I grunt when appropriate. Lets say rep number 27 on a set of 30 with 135 on the front squat. I don’t do it so the chicks look at me or to get attention its just a mere consequence. Besides, I’m not there to please anybody, get ass, make friends, talk politics, fucking talk period. I’m there to build a body and mind. I’m there to push the limits of both safely.
Totally.
If your goin hard, which you should be, grunts will come out.
Squats and deadlifts=big grunters
