im all for dropping the weight, slamming the weight that's entirely different story. Dropping the weight is no louder than a treadmill. Now slamming the weight that's when you hear Odin slapping Thor.

And etiquette is really important, but people who scream to get that last pump or two are not attention whores. Screaming as well as the exhale of the scream, does give you a jolt of adrenaline. Which makes perfect sense really.
Martial artists, screamers, tennis players, screamers, weight lifters, screamers. One should not feel ashamed of screaming, but one should be aware of their surroundings.

I don't know what gym you goto if guys actually never drop heavy Dumbbells...except two guys. I've been going to the gym for 20 years+ and been to half a dozen gyms. I really don't give a shit what anyone else thinks about the amount of weight I do. I drop it because I physically can't even finish the last rep. It's not an excuse dude. And I grunt because I'm exerting a lot more than I would otherwise. So the fact I drop weight proves nothing in regard to me in specific. Plus I don't ALWAYS have a spotter. Even when I do, the weights still drop. Hey, if YOU can "gently" place 100lbs+ Dumbbells down from an awkward kneeling position with palms open (spotter), then more power to you. If you can keep maxing out your own personal best each time you lift without going to fatigue/failure then food for you. Maybe I just don't have your stamina. What can I say. I DROP my weights. I don't THROW them. There's a difference. |

Not on every rep. Just the one before you physically can't do anymoor. Or, you're lifting a heavier weight than you ever did. I totally agree about etiquette. |

Most guys have no idea how to do a correct dumbbell row.. Vast majority of guys doing a heavy dumbbell row are actually doing a pull or a jerk, where majority of the tension is applied to the bicep. The correct way is to initiate and move the weight with your LAT. You are basically bent over and trying to pull your lat up towards the ceiling, thereby moving the weight. Then the arm pulls in to fully contract the lat. Most people just grab heavy weight and just pull on that shit, which accomplishes nothing, except for bit of a bicep pump.

LMAO got a guy like that.. Dude has half of his house in there.. It's like his workouts are a military operation. Talk about being over prepared. I call him the Wizard of Pump because sometimes dude will stop between sets and whip himself up a potion. He'll just grab some of his supplements and start mixing shit up in his sports bottle.

Or, if you're lucky, pull out your shoulder. Generally, I hate bad form. Period. It does nothing for you. I'm actually one of those weirdos who sometimes benches with straps. |

I surf a huge amount and swim a lot; does wonders for those wings as do the correct rows and pull ups. A quick story on supplements; I was a hard gainer; took supplements, creatinr, all sorts (all legal, nothing too severe); zero results. Just got more toned. Then I discovered the joys of proper MMF training; my appetite naturally shot up, my gains were very rapid both in size and strength. My budget was low as I was a student so I just stuffed myself with fairly cheap but good food. I gained three stone in 18 months and my max lifts shot up. So when I see guys guzzling shakes during a workout, guys who aren't in good shape, I can't help but smile. Eat well but don't obsess; it's almost all about the workouts. Your appetite will follow. |
