When you see someone that you want to kill as soon as they open their mouth.

I guess you kidna got me there, but im not trying to change a policy with no flaws or ruin half a places day with this. like stupid people are that want a no-grunting rule.

As a rower, I am against this rule. When you're doing a sprint, you grunt or use some explosive to get out as much air as possible as fast as possible so that you get more air faster. It's not like you're doing it to show off, you're doing it so you don't pass out from lack of oxygen, or even worse, have to stop in a race. While I don't understand screaming, grunting is fine with me. Also, isn't their alarm louder than any grunts people could be making, defeating the idea behind their policy in the first place? After all, that low key grunting must be WAY louder than some 80 db alarm.

I support it, therefore I'm complaining? That's ridiculous. I simply discussed the topic of this thread, therefore I gave out my viewpoint. It's not I made a post saying "ALL GRUNTERS ARE FAGS, AND YOU MUST STOP." If anyone is complaining and crying, it's you. You went out of your way to make a post complaining about this guy is unfairly treated. But hey that's all right, there's no reason to not express what on your mind. I am not going to call someone a fag because they have a different opinion than me.

The gym is a crowded place where you have to show a bit of respect for others around you. You share space, equipment. It's basic etiquette. If I can hear a grunt through my ipod, it's too loud and should be toned down. Simple courtesy.

woooooooooooooooooooooooowwwww billion. people get butthurt here so easily it makes me question some people's gender. "ban him for making fun of a retarded opinion" GREAT IDEA. wow you can't say anything on these boards without someone wining.

I wouldn't go as far as billy said, I'm not offended by what he said, the fact he had to resort to ad hominem attacks shows more than I need to explain.

But smoking_habit, this is a place where everyone respects each other. Don't break the sanctum of this place.

Well, yessiree. I have to agree that you are being a bit hypocritical here, Smoking Habit.

I agree with you as far as the stupidity and invalidity of the "no-grunting" rule. I think that it is a little extreme. Lots of people grunt. I think I probably have been heard grunting every once in a while. Mainly when I do squats or presses....BUT, like THCBongman says, if it is loud enough to get thru and iPod...that's too loud. If I hear it once, I look over and see the guy with several hundred pounds on his last rep, most of the time. I rarely, if ever, have heard someone repeatedly screaming during a work out.

Hell, it's a gym. The whole place is noisy. And their alarm IS louder than most grunts, and is way more distracting...it even has a bright blinking light. If I was on one side of the gym and I didn't hear the grunt, but some other guy across the gym heard the grunt, then pushed that stupid LUNK alarm, I'd have an issue with the club for bothering me with their loud alarm and 'blinding' light.

I might go to their boycott site and give an opinion. I think that's pretty much a vanilla's gym. Like the person said in the video, "...they want people who pay and then don't go to the gym." Not only HUGE guys grunt.

Hey, Smoking habit...chill out, man. Seriously. Stop calling people names...why all the anger? On dem roids? Not a very good thread title.

I agree, I am in favor of this pussy policy.
