Huddle Workout Warriors

A little different than most posts here, but there is this one guy at my gym who stands out for a grunt that is a mix between a military hooah and a smoker clearing their throat. The gentleman grunts during any and all workouts whether he is lifting or on the treadmill. I noticed this the other day while I was on the elliptical. I observed this guy pushing to the point that I was looking for an AED. He continued, but I was confused as to why anyone would grunt like that, especially during cardio. I can understand if he was about to set a new personal best and grunted, or he was trying to finish the last of a set, but he does it haphazardly.

Since he goes to the gym often, his random vocalization of his effort has begun to annoy others. When approached about why he does this, he insults the person, brags about his weight loss (it is impressive), and tells the person they aren't on his level.

I do the same thing while running (pounding pavement, not on a fuging elliptical)

I don't know why I do it; it just kinda comes from my diaphragm on its own when I feel like I'm gonna die.

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

I can't watch women's tennis for that very reason

when weights get heavy you'll make noise. some people overdue it. i breathe out loudly on every heavy squat on the way up. it's a way to control my breathing.

 

Now yeah deadlift or OLY pre I'm going to make sure everyone in the gym knows but that's obviously not going to happen at PF

Took Fiz's advice about doing deadlifts strapped and got some chalk from a guy that I did deadlifts with on Wednesday...

 

Was able to easily get 405x4 and 455x2 unstrapped with chalk... that chalk is the bomb...  and that was a really good point about being able to simply drop the weight if you get in trouble... something you can't do if strapped up.

Started back deadlifts today.

 

135x6 and 225x6

 

Yeah, I'm a little wimp.  Back is a little tight right now, but not that "bad" kind of tight.

 

I feel confident increasing weight and getting back into a more consistent routine.

 

Felt good, man.  Felt good.

It's not the weight it's the form...  do it right and the weight will come... that goes for any exercise.

if you did a set of 6 at 135 then jumped and did the same at 225 that's a really stupid lifting routine you're doing. I know you were probably fuging around but still.

 

Also I had my first crossfit internship at Crossfit Reading, UK today. Didn't really get to do much. Oh well.

I hear what you're saying. Just really trying to get a feel for where I'm at after about a month off of deadlifts. Gonna get my routine down next time.

Finally got down to 175 this weekend. The last about 7 pounds sucked!!! Time to bulk up now and get big as fug. Anyone think 25 pounds in a year is unrealistic?

That is realistic if you do it right. Lift heavy, eat protein.

I deadlifted again today and got another PR... 515x1

Im pretty loud sometimes when doing really tough cardio. Especially 40 plus minutes of it. And occasionally ill get congestion going on too. Its not quiet or pleasant sounding thing, good thing I work out at home.

I've been around 220 before and it took me about two years to get that big but I was younger then. I got 1 mr today and did 6 chest exercises 3 sets each and the same on tris. Will see how tomorrow morning goes lol

Good luck with the 1mr. That poo works but tastes like vomit to me.
