Do people who scream very loud at gyms hinder your training?

I don't scream during sets, but before i yell
"LIGHT WEIGHT......YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH BUDDYYYYYYYYYY.....LIGHT WEIGHT BABAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY".
if people scream for reasons of pain, then so be it. i actually like the intensity of gyms that sound like torture chambers.
on the other hand, when people yell to proclaim "look at the weight i'm lifting", they are just plain gay.
As far as slamming weights.......who cares? its not a library, you're not trying to be quiet and curteous to others when you lift. Alls i know is when i'm doing leg extensions with 15+reps of a max. weight, that weight is gonna slam down when i just can't take the pain any longer. i'm not gonna gently place it down to be courteous to others.
Its one thing if a guy is curling 10lb dumbells, and screaming like he's having his nuts crushed, then throws down the weight....basically anyone purposefully trying to bring attention to themselves.
Maybe i'm a little more intense than some, cuz little shit like "unattention-bringing" screaming/throwing weights doesn't bother me. i actually prefer it......

if i ever yell or scream it's a totally involuntary response. the only time i ever do it is during a heavy heavy set of leg presses, rows, squats, or deadlifts...
usually i just grunt.
it doesn't really bother me when other people do it, unless they're 6', 200 lbs and they're screaming curling 30's.

I must make noise to: 1) clear my mind, 2) drown out the silly girlie men chatter 3) focus all my attention and 4) put my neural system on alert to the pain its gonna feel. It works big time! I am way over the top on certain weight poundage for my frame size. If I only go in with the idea that its not going to be just another set I will drop my weights 15-20%. Grunting and noise works - but I don't "scream". I get embarrassed when someone turns around and looks and definitely do not want any attention in the gym since I tend to be self conscious. Only negative comment I ever heard was from some old prune of a woman who said to one of her friends "that guy is just too crazy to try and lift that much weight, and he sweats too much". Of course this woman thought it was a serious work out to flip her wrists on the pulley curls with 5 lbs on it for 30 minutes as she talked and gossiped non-stop to her friends.

I have told these women to stfu on more than one occasion. Especially if I am wearing headphones and can STILL HEAR their dumbass conversation about their new highlights, or what their therapist said about their cheating husband.BulkMeUp said:Off Topic: i have seen women talk non stop while beside each other on treadmills or even accross an unoccoupied one, all the while do their so-called cardio.
A dirty look will usually suffice though.
Most are so engrossed in their conversation that they only look at each other. I can throw all the dirty looks their way and they would be totally oblivious to it.GoalGetter said:
Anyway, my gym always has music playing on the overhead speakers loud enough to drown out most of their inane banter.
But i am always amazed at the waste-of-time workout they are doing while conversing. Oh well, better than no workout at all, right?
I agree there is an overboard, but when I hear someone grunting cause their squeezing on the last 2 burning reps that makes me want to do the same. But no sense in grunting and screaming on your warmup sets, lol. Ask him to save it for his girlfriend! lol If he says I dont have one be like and you wonder why? The girls are probably scared if they did stuff with you they'd get caught by their parents before you started to do anything with you.asicx said:

yeah boi.. thatss right
I usually am pretty quiet, I don't make uneccessary noises, that sfor sure b/c I train at pussy gyms and I try to get in and get out with out anyone talking to me or askin me stupid qestions. However I have found that if I am on a last rep and having trouble, telling myself "LITE WATE" mid set helps me if I need that extra boost of aggression.. lol. I know Flex can feel me
hey heres a Q for you folx, how do you feel about your training partner tlaking to you or screaming thinsg at you during a set ? I hate it when someone spotting tries to scream something at me, just shut the fucc up and do your job, thats it.. peace
"Dat wuh LIGHT. REEEEEEEEEEEEal light. Anbody could do dat" haha.
I kknow you LOOOOOVE that LIGHT WEIGHT.

As far as making sounds, Arnold did say "Pumping up is better than haveeeng sex wit a woman and cumming. When i'm pumping up in da gym or backstage for a competition, its like i'm cumming day and night. It's fantastic"
Maybe all the guys across the world who scream in gyms are cumming

I do not yell or scream, but when I exhale you can hear me if you walk by. I like to envision the breath go in as I inhale and when I exhale all the blood flowing to my targeted muscles. It is psychological and I like to use it when I do not have a spotter. I can acheive the big lift off and complete my set.

Today when I was lifting I heard this guy across the gym on the hammer strength chest press yell out so loud that I heard it over a heavy rock song on my ipod. Usually I don't hear anything cause I have my music up so loud to drown out the cell phones, tvs, overhead radio, and the country-clubbers chatting about.
Even through my music, he was extremely loud and emitting noises smiliar to women on tv in those overdramatic childbirth scenes where the dumbbunny mom-to-be decides to go through it without having an epidural.
Earlier a guy on the treadmill next to me COMPLETELY wiped out during his run/jog.
I mean...this guy wiped out to the max...fell, busted his ass, head, and every body part in-between.
And he didn't even make a peep...
I am doing the laughing now that I was too polite to do there, in the face of the poor guy.

I'm like the falling tree in the forest with no one around. I lift at home. If the neighbors hear me screem they just say, tough old man must be kicking the shit out of his 100 lb wife. LOL

bro, you have no idea
my college roomate and i used to have Pumping Iron playing on tape in our room 24/7. Any given time you walk in, it was on. Unfortunately, sometimes it would come to an end. so we'd rewind it and play it again
We had that entire movie memorized.......
"Yestaday i called my mutha and i told hur i won. She says congrahhhhjulayshuns, Ahhhnold"
hell yer!!!hmmm. it is my preference to scream out when i do incline dumbells for chest. but i usually hold it in. but i went in the morning real early on a monday sometime ago, and there was no one in the gym, i didn't hold back and screamed when i was putting the dumbells down after the set. it felt soooooo much better than holding it in.
then on the next set, seeing there was no one at all even close, and seeing the mat was a bounce mat, i just imitated those rude shits at night and i just chucked them on the ground after the set .................. didn't even need to scream.......hehe.

I use to think people who tossed their weights on the floor were jerks. But in this precise exercise you mention and in seated OH DB shoulder presses I now always drop the DBs to the floor. It's just much easier than taking the risk of straining the shoulder joint or banging your shoulder or ribs etc. for the politeness of a soft landing. I have hurt myself more than once trying to be considerate but no more. It startles the old women and they give me evil looks but that just encourages me all the more to let em drop since I am nausuated by their thick perfume anway...
Oops, this is turning into a "things you should not do in the gym" thread and we have a few of those still lingering out there...
