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.
Why is that behavior bad? The only unacceptable behavior in a gym is sexual advances, theft, and not cleaning up after yourself. Noise is not the issue.
dumbbell dropping is annoying and distracting. if you want to do that shit build a gym in your house, otherwise respect the public space that is the gym
Death to America
Normal noises like grunting and doing Olympic style lifting in appropriate areas is totally fine, but if you’re screaming or dropping dumbbells from knee height or above you should find your own space. Those kinds of outbursts are distracting and frightening and make the gym inhospitable to everyone except you.
There is no space, it’s like telling someone who hates the government to live in the woods. All the woods are owned by somebody, you would get shot by a ranger for trying it. Us loud gym people deserve our own space equal to everyone elses
Sounds like you have a club in the making already. You can call it the Loud Lifters and become petty bourgeois (make your own CrossFit-like space since they’re already loud).
They’re usually called barbell clubs, but the ones I’ve been to would have people look at you just as funny if you’re making a ton of noise. Dropping things is generally more accepted though
Lunk sounds alarmed
