I don’t know where in history it became unacceptable to let out a grunt while lifting weights or to drop your dumbbells on the floor. People working out are loud, it’s not your fucking privilege to have a low decibel level in a gym. Even if I was screaming, who is it hurting? Gyms should be expected to be more of a loud environment. Silence should be the exception not the norm, people who want silence are the minority and they should have to schedule their quiet times in a manner that doesn’t interfere normal every day gym goers.

They really don’t. There’s a difference between silence, being loud/yelling, and using controlled breathing and noise when lifting. Only the “being loud/yelling” one is stupid and annoying and disruptive.

I dunno they talked about dropping dumbbells, which is lazy and loud as shit.

i guess some people think being loud is being strong. like they think throwing, screaming and dropping heavy things is good training, instead of seeing how gently and quietly one can set a heavy object down.

not really sure what they’re training for, but controlled, smooth, gentle, and quiet is how i was taught to focus on form and function. not slamming shit around and screaming like i need someone to call emergency services.
