Screamers

You guys have these dudes in your gym? There was some guy on the bench machine screaming after every set. So far, they are the most annoying "gym rats" for me. How do you guys deal with them?

You guys have these dudes in your gym? There was some guy on the bench
machine screaming after every set. So far, they are the most annoying "gym
rats" for me. How do you guys deal with them?

The screamers are pretty rare nowadays I think.
I sort of wish there were more screamers benching and squatting
than doughy soccer moms.

I've never been in a gym with enough deadlifters for ANY deadlift behavior
to be seriously annoying.

The gym I work out at is "hard core". There are competitive bodybuilders
and power lifters there, and trophys on the trophy shelf. ;-)
Early in the morning, it's not as much of a problem. Most of the real
idiots work out later in the day.
Like the PL'ers I complained about earlier that leave 9 fricken sets of
45 lb. plates on the leg press for somebody else to unrack. :-P
That's a workout in itself!

There's always a grunters or two in every gym.
They want attention. Just ignore them.

I sometimes grunt. It's not for attention. I try to suppress it but it just
happens.

For some reason, the leg press is exempt from the requirement to unrack
the weights. Dunno what it is.

I do too, but not loudly and I try to suppress it...
There is a difference between grunting a bit at the end of a heavy set
and screaming on every rep. ;-)
