Grunting

I hate people who loudly grun when lifting weights. It’s one thing to ‘grunt’ because you’re exerting effort, but a lot of people at the gym grunt as if it’s a sacred ritual. It’s a way of saying ‘look at me, I can lift heavy things!’. I admit, there’s possibly an element of psyching oneself up involved, but it’s annoying.

If a club has a rule against it, because they’re trying to set up a certain atmosphere – I’m all for that.
