Gym Screamers
As many of you know, or may not know, I've been going to the gym now for a long time. After taking a breif two year stint from the gym after ball, I am now back in there 4 days a week. Plus the fact that I was getting fat and still am fat was a good reason to get back in there and shape up. One thing about ball that I miss was always having the gym to myself or one or two other guys. I could do in there in nothing but sliding shorts or my jock strap and shoes and lift as much as I wanted without having to deal with other weirdos. Heck sometimes you might catch a guy in there lifting naked just because he was too lazy to put on some clothes. I could play whatever music I wanted and be able to totally focus on the whatever I was doing at the time. But know that I am back in the public gym arena, I am also back to dealing with the weirdos who like to visit the gym unfortunately at the very same time I like to go lift. I'm not gonna lie, I can throw some serious weight around as far as legs go and am on working by upper body hard to be able to do the same. But no matter how much weight I'm lifting, how many reps I'm doing, or how tired I am, I NEVER feel the urge to yell or scream during a lift. Yet for some reason dudes who work out where I do seem to love to yell. NO matter how loud I turn my music up, I still hear these guys screaming. Just like today, a dude is doing some type of lift I've never seen and still not sure what he was working out, but regardless every time he picked the weight up he yelled. If you are not lifting a house, then there is no reason to yell especially if the wieght you are lifting is what a kid who hasn't yet reached puberty can lift. Then there is the black cop who likes to yell at himself like he is coaching himself. Honestly this guy pisses me off and the sad thing is he isn't even that big. After every set he walks up to the mirror and flexes like he is on a Muscle-Man stage. There are about 3 dudes in there that lift weights so loud it sounds like most of them should be in a bedroom not the gym. When I was at Planet Fitness several months ago, they had a "Lunk Alarm" for dudes who yelled or dropped their weights. If the gym I'm at now had one of those, they sucker would be broke from going off so much.
