Blogs and WODs

No shirt, no shoes if that's how you want to roll. We yell and grunt and generally act like people DOING things. That's us. Not that a class resembles some mix of iron and EST training - things can be pretty quiet too.

The other guys though - one grunt and you're done. Ugh.

And in this case I even know the gym in question, buffoons that they are. My folks live right up the road from the Planet Fitness mentioned in the article and I trained at their older, sister gym in Hyde Park back in the day when it was still a World's Gym.

Last nite, I was doing some grunting and loud inhaling/exhaling breathing to get the back squats. I finally PR'd.

I notice that when I make some grunting and screaming noises, I get that extra ooomph or boost.

I won't be silent no more! :-D

How lame! I suppose I would have set off the lunk alarm at most of my workouts leading to me being expelled. I am amazed that a gym would even have such a rule.

Thanks for posting such a flattering picture of me.

Basically they don't want anyone really exerting themselves. That's pathetic. Most of would get kicked out of there. Hell, I'd consider it a point of pride to get kicked out of that gym.
