I’m not a consistent grunter like some here seem to be.
There really aren’t alot of grunters at the gym I go to, atleast I don’t think there are. They’d have to be grunting pretty damn loud tho since my headphones are on most of the time.
yea widowmakers i let out a occasional, “fuck” or “piece of shit” with the usual grunts and shake my head at myself in the mirror, i imagine it looks a bit psychotic, but ya know thats how they are haha.

Jizzed in my pants
I don’t really grunt. I do the closed mouth scream. Luckily I work out in a team gym, where this is common place.
I do sometimes on the last rep. I try not to make much noise so its usually uncontrollable.

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[/quote]
The other day squatting heavy, my quads split my boxer legs in half (not saying I’m badass, that is just how it went down), then coming out of the hole I ripped a fart all the way back to the top. My partner said it sounded like a space shuttle took off then crashed in my pants.
i grunt for the last rep or two approaching failure on squat, bench, and dl. otherwise it’s just kind of loud breathing.
by the way… i get those “you’re nuts” looks too. the funny thing is i’ve gotten them benching as little as 225. this is probably because i lift at my high school gym which is filled with chicks and weenies.
My butt grunts when i squat sometimes. Then i have to wipe, its not pretty.
I like leg press gas, personally. Angle the ass just right and them bitches sound like machine gun fire.
I’m not one for making noises, but on one of my heavy sets, I was stuck - an a Conan like roar came out all on its own, the weight moved - as it felt like the brakes where pulled off the power. Surprised myself.
Its crazy. Any of you doing more than the norm will get those looks.
I believe grunts on squats and deadlifts on heavy working sets should be acceptable, as well as chalk and knee wraps. You get looks for those in some gyms too.
I usually try to be respectable of other people in the gym, but I’ll breathe loudly/occasionally grunt during heavy sets.
On the other hand, I’ve made noises during 20 reppers that I didn’t think I was capable of making. I usually wear a hat and pull the brim low and ignore everybody around me staring.
I like it when other people make noise in the gym, too. It gets me fired up and lets me know its a serious place where work is getting done. Theres an upper limit, but a little aggression/intensity is not a bad thing.
I try not to make a whole lot of noise really, but it is damn near unavoidable occasionally, like sneezing with your eyes open.
I think a lot of people who whine about people grunting or making noise don’t know what it is like trying to make a rep when you are almost out of gas and moving heavy weight. I think you can definitely over do it, even in that situation, but when I am trying to get out of the hole with a ton (definitely being figurative here, unfortunately, haha!)of weight on my back and using everything in the tank, there is going to be some noise. Then again, how many people do you ever see doing deadlifts, squatting deep, or hell, even doing bench press with proper form? If I have to put up with trying not to laugh while they are curling on a bosu ball, then they can put up with me grunting a bit.
On a heavy squat (95% and up) I grunt from the sticky point to the top.
I save my grunts for deadlifts and front squats, thats about it. I don’t think it’s possible to squat or deadlift heavy without making obnoxious noises.
P.S. Caveman pacing ftw! You gotta psyche yourself up, come on now!
Sometimes i fart. LOL
I train at home, so when my last few reps approach, I let out more of a velociraptor sound, and sometimes a Hulk growl.
lol
I met this guy in my old gym he wouldn’t grunt but he would make the weirdest noises possible when lifting a weight.
When he was bench pressing he would go like “Hipi pi pi pi piiiiii” on every rep.
And when he was doing cable pulldowns he would moan like he was fucking the machine.
I usually grunt a bit on the last rep of squats but that’s more or less normal in my gym seeing as I am the only one ,besides the gym owner, who does squats.
If you grunt during the last few reps when squatting then it means you doing things right. If people look at you when lifting heavy just fuck them, means either:
- They don’t squat
- They don’t squat enough
- They never heard of squats and milk
This week I discovered that I do grunt when heavy squats (heavy for me)
When pushing from the hole… I need every gram of energy…
I occasionally (or so I’m told) let out a guttural roar of exultation when I finish a particularly hard set. Usually “YEAH” or something similar.
It’s impossible for me to deadlift heavy without sounding like an old man getting out of bed. “EHHHHHHHOOOOUHHHH-H-H-HUHHH”, kinda.
I breathe loudly, cough (smoked pot before a set of front squats recently and I thought my lungs were going to explode) spit, the whole nine yards. When I get a gym membership I’ll probably have to cool it but for right now I’ll be as loud as I want.
