Huddle Workout Warriors

[Darth Biscuit]

It's a local gym that only has two sites. The location is awesome (less then two miles from my house and I have to drive by it to go to work), it's 24 hours, and its a small business.

 

Nice.

 

There aren't any of those here that I know of.  The Gold's I go to is ok, but could be a lot better.

 

It's convenient for me, about halfway between my office and my house.

 

 

Have any of the gym employees spoken to this guy?

ESAC and Planet Fatness are the predominate gyms around my house.

 

They are going to today. A friend of mine walked up to the desk and threatened to go to ESAC.

maybe he has tourette's

That'd be about the only legit thing that I can think of...  still doesn't condone him being an asshole.

If that was the case, he could have explained that to the three people I know have asked him why he does. He also increases in volume and frequency when one person specific person enters the gym, so I would assume tourette's is not the reason behind this.

Like he's trying to impress someone?

I have no idea. Obviously he wants attention, but I have no idea if it's from anyone specific or he just wants the world to notice. I was curious if anyone else has seen this crap. I've seen curls in the squat rack bicep warriors, people who can't clean-up after themselves, and just about every other stereotypical thing you see at a gym, but this, this is different.

Probably just a crazy person. I would stay away.

There's one guy in our gym... younger dude... in good shape, not real big.  Lifts an appropriate amount of weight, ie he doesn't overdo it, but he grunts a little much...  Joscott knows who I mean.

 

He seems like a nice enough guy though... he's just kind of intense.

 

It doesn't bother me mainly because I wear earbuds and he's not that loud...

 

 

I'll grunt here and there, but usually only when I like get up past 400 on deads or something...  sometimes it just comes out.

 

I've never seen anybody grunting doing cardio, that's just bizarre.

 

Pretty much what CK said.

Hit 285 twice yesterday on deadlifts and my legs and body were still a little sore from lifting on Saturday.  285 was my max as of a few weeks ago. I think that is encouraging of my progress. Extend prime, sustain dominance lol

 

 

As far as grunting goes it is kind of funny when people do it but as long as it isn't too loud I don't mind it at all. I hardly ever grunt unless I'm dead lifting or leg pressing. I wear my head phones during those exercises so I don't really know how loud I am. However no one as ever complained to me about it. But as far as I'm concerned it is a way of mentally pushing through things and if that's what someone needs to do than maybe you should  add more weight see how you would fair.

 

I love my gym for the simple fact that most people are their doing their own thing. Most even have head phones too but they are all there for the same thing and if you need a spot every one is polite enough to do so. The only thing I hate is it seems like every other time I go some one is always using the same sht Im trying to use.

I was lifting the other day and had my noise-canceling earbuds in when suddenly this cacophonous reverberation of sound inundated every foot of every square of the gym (padded floor too, mind you). I was flabbergasted. What could this be? Took my earbuds out, and low and behold, it's the echo of a grunter grunting. Finding the epicenter was difficult, but I located the source after a few tremors. It was coming from the cables. And it was coming from some Herculean woman using the cables. Hey, I'm non-judgmental. You want to break the barriers genderizing has erected, then go for it! You have the constitution and physical fortitude to get to and maintain <5% body fat? Damn! You go! But please, for the love of God, do not try to provide your neighbors from one end of the gym to the next with intermittent tunes of stress belches; we have our own music. Moreover, do not do so while performing lat raises with cables.

[Darth Biscuit]

Joscott and I spotted a dude squatting 500 a week or two ago... he wasn't grunting he was yelling, but it was more of a pumped up thing...  I don't blame him.

 

I don't mind some noise, but if you're a dick like that guy 88 is talking about, just don't...

Sounds like we should all open our own Planet Fitness franchise.

Grunters. Yeah. There are some girls that do that at the gym. Weird.
