Is it really distracting to you to hear someone grunt? Granted, some people cross the line (I’m thinking of the 250 # bodybuilder who like, hollers as he bicep curls 30 pounds or something). Unfortunately for most gymgoers, they aren’t used to truly, truly pushing themselves past capacity. If you are really trying to lift something heavy that you can hardly move, sometimes it takes a little vocal action to push it over the edge (the grunt/yell tightens the core if nothing else I think). I know I either make noise to get the weight up or I make noise in frustration as i fail. Haha.

Grok would have waited till the CrossFitters were panting on the ground, then taken them out and taken over their gym.

That was funny, considering it says no deadlifting on the sign, making it NOT a gym. =)

Though I must admit I love Crossfit, but hey, my heart’s big enough to love Grok too =]

I just get out in the forest a lot, rock climb, ride trails on my mtn bike, sleep under the stars. When I’m at the gym or work, or winter is dragging on, I visualize my next trip outdoors or my last one. Visualization is powerful, but I’m really happy visualizing my own modern life, with its primal orientation and modern gadgetry and gear.

Yeah but you’re NOT Grok hoisting a bolder to smash a thigh bone. You’re a person in modern society in the gym with OTHER PEOPLE concentrating on their workouts. It’s awfully RUDE to grunt and groan like you’re the only one in the gym. I get what you’re saying, but it’s not appropriate in a modern gym with other members. If you have your own equipment at home, go nuts! We do live in a CIVILIZED society after all. ….sort of.
