Thread: Are you a screamer or a grinder?

i stick my tongue out when im nearing failure on squats

Stick your tongue out? I hope you don't do it whilst facing the large guys

I love the scene in Pumping Iron when Lou is screaming while doing upright rows and Arnold starts laughing at him.

I find people who scream and shout quite cringeable actually. It's quite embarrassing actually.

when im trying to get the last couple reps in i have a tendencey to curl my bottom lip into my mouth...my partner tells me it looks like im ganna bite through my lip, but i dont actually bite down on it just curl it in....

Grinding your teeth, is bad for them.

Can’t help grunting, screaming and going red in the face if I didn’t I would probably just shit myself with the build up of pressure!

The spouse is a screamer and I'm a grinder when we hit the sack. This is what the question was i hope.

im a grunter. UGHHH, Oh YEA

In Pumping Iron, Lou is always like "I can't do anymore! no! no!" and then he'll be able to bust out five more reps. Why is that?

I catch myself gritting my teeth sometimes. I usually remain pretty quiet, except for the occasional forceful exhale or mild grunt.

I sometimes fart when I do Deadlifts.

i was waiting for someone to do this. haha.

RG, we're waiting for your answer.

failure? what's that?

you ever hear adam sandler sex or weight lifting? i was lifting by this guy in my gym, we were the only ones there, and i noticed we were making sex noises. i got embarrassed n went to the other end of the gym.

but in other arenas a little noise doesn't bother me at all.

This gear is amazing. I really had her screaming last night. I had the largest pump yet to date.

I hate screamers or anything that sounds like an orgasm (don't ask)

The only time I genuinely scream and can't help it is when I'm on the leg sled doing my 30th rep with four plates on each side (which is quite a lot for me)

It's more of a cry, really.

I'm a screamer and a grunter! :-)

I breathe. I don't really find making any kind of noise necessary while lifting, and I like to concentrate on moving the correct muscles instead of squeezing my jaw together. I think breathing really is the best thing to do. Without it, it would be hard to lift for long anyways.

Probably dramatic effect, some of that movie was scripted to entertain you (BS).

I usually do like Ronnie does.....

In my best Tyson voice, I yell "Light Weight"

Really i used to yell but everytime i did my wife ran in to see if i was ok. I train at home. So no more yelling. Last thing i need when lifting is to see her face and here the following. Your using to much weight and going to hurt yourself. Remember your not 20 years old anymore. But no problem as she leaves when dumbells start heading her way.

I find myself looking quite similar to this: during any type of shrug.

i have to wear a mouth guard because I grind my teeth in my sleep, so i use it when
i lift too

If the weight is going up slowly and it is hard to get it up, I will start cursing and crap.
