i do not understand, op

is it an injury prone form of exercise if done incorrectly that morons screw up and end up suing the gym for?

i have 0 weight lifting experience please dont kill me /fit/
>> Anonymous
>>450570
could be that

i suspect it's because deadlifting is pretty loud/intimidating and the casuals complain or cower in fear

its the noise, not the injuries.

I know I make a lot of noise, I try to ease it down, but that is a lot of iron.

I'm still a novice when it comes to lifting, but I know for a fact every book I've read on it always says to breathe in deeply before lifting or squatting or whatever and to exhale when you are complete with the rep, otherwise you place a lot of stress on your spine due to there not being any air in your diaphragm to support it.

You can usually tell when someone is doing it to be a faggot. I've seen a fully grown man grunt while playing around with a 6 lb swiss ball.

If you see a 160 lb kid deadlifting twice his bodyweight, you know the grunt is probably more for function than anything.

I grunt when I deadlift. It just happens when it's a lot of weight.

Sometimes, when maxing out, I let out a primal scream too, and the occasional "lightweight baby".

I go to a city sports hall that was built for the olympic games in Finland.

It's fucking awesome. It's 1euro per day or 9euros per month for a student. There's basketball/volleyball/gymnastics in the middle and the side's there are small open 3 wall rooms or "holes" with gym equipment in them. so basically you end up watching cheerleaders training while pumping iron.

and all the douchebags are by the benches, the dumbell room and the machines. And then there's a separate gym in a different part of the building where all the treadmill faggots and women go.

The olympic lifting/free weight rooms are full of huge grunting 40yo guys who deadlift 500lbs and bench press 350.. The place basically smells like pure testosterone.

THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO WHILE DEAD LIFTING IS NEVER LETTING GO OF THE BAR, JUST DROPPING IT DOWN ALMOST TO THE FLOOR AND BACK UP, IT'S LIKE 3X MORE DEMANDING AND MAKES ME USE MY ABS A LOT MORE.

nothing beats the hole in the wall gym I work at. Some lady complained about guys setting up a HIIT circuit on the track turf area. She was bitching she couldn't walk on the track because of them and the music was too loud and awesome (read Metalica's Master of Puppets) and I told her if those things bothered her so much she needed to go outside or to PF.

LOL @ everyone crying because of grunts.
In my old gym there was a guy who'd fart whenever he attempted to squat with more than 400 pounds and no one ever bitched about it. Laughed and made fun of him? Yes. But never bitched...

To what extent do they enforce the no grunting shit?
At a certain point it is inevitable, and if some fat ass actually got himself to the point that he can legitimately grunt, what are they going to do, make him deload?

Also if this only applies to people who scream then I am all for it. I don't care how much you are lifting, there is no reason you should be screaming as if you are getting stabbed, shit is obnoxious.

Can someone explain to me why they specifically banned deadlifting?
Isn't it an irreplaceable compound exercise? or can you substitute it with back extensions and leg curls?
What if you manage to deadlift with proper form and no grunting?

Here's an original idea:

Buy your own shit, work out at your house.
>> Anonymous
Dennis G. O’Connell, a professor of physical therapy at Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, Tex., has conducted studies on the effects of grunting. He found that weight lifters produce between 2 and 5 percent more force when they grunt, in part because the deep breathing grunting entails can help stabilize the spine.

i don't mind grunting. people strain, people grunt, its called a workout.

but the dropping of weights do annoy me. if you can't put them down, dont pick them up.

i think its kinda fucked up

for starters, someone strains, a grunt comes out, they hit an alarm and instead of that grunter annoying maybe one person they distract the ENTIRE gym.

secondly, isn't it a type of segregation? they're trying to keep the hardcore fit people away from everyone else.

why? the hard core work out every day. that means they're there a lot. the rest only work out once or twice a week. they pay the same price but take up less space and time. means more money with less 'service' being put out by the gym.
