I don't grunt, but breath hard, when I'm dead lifting a heavy weight or squatting heavy.

I jsut stick with my mouth being barely open, and forceful breaths when I'm doing a lot. I always find it funny when people are doing light weight and grunting. It makes me think they are jsut looking for attention.

when people are moving light weight grunting is lame, but hey, if a guy needs to grunt to get up a ridiculous lift I cant currently do, then who am I to judge?

In other news: I just started WS4SB this week as a change from Rip's 5x5. It has been going well, but the repetition day just destroyed me. I am used to lifting heavy for smaller reps. That is how it is for 2 days on WS4SB, but the third day starts off with benching for max reps with 135, taking 60 seconds rest, and doing 2 more sets the same way. I was absolutely gassed and the rest of my workout suffered. Guess its good tho..........gotta build up some endurance clearly.

Sad part is that they are spending energy to produce that noise, and thus hurting their chances of getting that lift up.

I dunno, it seems to work OK for Ronnie...

In fact, most serious lifters seem to make a lot of noise while lifting.

I used to go to a planet fitness when I lived in Northern Virginia. Honestly I don't think the Siren ever went off. They only had 3 benches though. The gym I went to had 1 squat rack so I usually hogged it for 45 minutes while everyone else waited. Little room though. I was basically had to move around and do dead lifts by the cardio section. But hell 10$ a month, and Pizza once a month, what's not to like. The Sport and Health club I go to now charges almost as much in a month than I was paying for a year at PF. The S&HC though I go to now has some fine booty. Planet Fitness had leaky roofs and a water fountain that was either warm or not working. There's nothing more discouraging than doing some Military presses with water dripping in your eye.

No AQ, we all know why you ride bikes. So you can grunt the three hours during that bumpy ride. Not afterward :)

I love snatches.

brat316 · 06-12-2009, 10:26 PM

What are some foods that have lots of good calories in them? Take into consideration for me that I'm vegetarian, no fish either or eggs ahha, oh and I don't eat onion or garlic even if its processed in food.

So far I found Brown rice and Broccoli, and Potatoes and Broccoli to be my meal after working out, anything else?

I need help taking in 3500-4000, and I avoid junk food, and sugar based.

Try not throwing your weight when your hang/power cleaning a **** load of weight... After your final rep, all you want to do is get that weight off of you. I usually just drop mine, but if I had a bad set, I'll throw it.

Why are you a vegetarian?

Nothing is better than steak/beef and potatoes after a good lift.

That I don't have a problem with myself, but the people who like to bring attention to themselves, by throwing small weights like they are hot ****.

As for grunts... I usually have small grunts doing most of my lifts when I do heavy weight, but for squats, sometimes I really let one out if I'm doing a heavy set.

I don't know why, but it seems to help you.

Oatmeal or whole wheat noodles, boi.

Smokey Joe · 06-12-2009, 10:42 PM

When you guys power clean, do you stay up, or do you squat down after you get the weight up?

I always squat down during my hang cleans, but for power cleans, I usually go half way.

Cow, pig, chicken, lamb, salmon, swordfish, lobster, shrimp, scallops etc...He did say nothing from animals.

So that takes away eggs, butter, ice cream, cheese, basically all sweets, lol.

My cousin is a vegan, and this will truly surprise you...

The only mass produced cookie that is vegan approved is the Oreo.

Another reason why Oreos are the best thing in the world... even for vegans.

I'm pretty sure they did an experiment about that on that Sports Science show and it proved that it does help.

Without milk though, they are garbage... however, with milk... I think I just jizzed my pants thinking about Oreos and milk.
