But we'd have to build a really large fence. A lot of them have already moved to Florida, California, etc (heck, even Texas) and immediately whine about how backwards we are and how it was much better in their liberal-run hellhole.

Oh, and keep a slice of the Northeast for all the dope-smoking Libertarians while you're at it.

Five hundred pounds? You must be kidding.......I wonder what the reaction would have been to my death scream as my kidneys flew across the room.

500 on a machine is different from 500 pounds of free weights. I never got to a point where I could quite deadlift 450, let alone 500. Nor could I squat that high. But I could certainly leg-press with 500 poinds of weights on the sled. I admit that I grunted slightly when I did it though.

I'm old now - I grunt when I have to get out of bed!

500 on a machine is different from 500 pounds of free weights.

The only difference to me is that the 500 pounds on a machine would be different than 500 pounds of free weights crushing my entire abdominal cavity (g).

Just thought you were Korean...

We discourage weight dropping and obnoxious grunting so you can focus on your own workout and not the person next to you.

Then why even bother offering weight lifting equipment? Stick to the bicycles, stair-steppers, walkers, juice bars, etc.

Did he grunt on the floor? I surely would!

Slow news day, isn't it?

Live and learn from Jon Carry.


Heaven halp us..

That is weird. Even women with brains will grunt when manhandling weight that is on the edge of their carrying ability (as it, in my humble opinion) helps you get the job done.

Someone should leave that sissy gym and go somewhere where they understand using the body. PC rules in a gym? Who would have thought it!

And that's why we installed a Lunk Alarm. There's no better way to keep you focused on your own workout.

I'm sorry, I can't help picturing the management dragging some poor constipated guy off the John and tossing him out.

Probably no TP in their bathroom anyway. Can't have the patrons going into a bathroom that smells.

The gym said they don't allow grunting because it conflicts with the non-intimidating atmosphere they strive for.

I wish I had a life with so little to worry about that I could worry about such petty things.

I am in favor of no grunt gyms. Especially when they are unisex.

If A guy has the urge to grunt they should have a good meal for themselves and wait till they close the door to their bathroom.

Its a judgement free zone, so why are they judging his grunting to be too loud. Isn't that a judgement in a judgement free zone.

Too ridculous.

Next will be no excessive sweating.

LOL, ain't that the truth! We all sound like our fathers now :)

My Governor can grunt louder than your Governor.

This is Albany. That would be a mating call.

Actually it's about a two hour drive south of Albany! It's Wappinger's Falls - home of Tawana Brawley!! (And about a 20 minute drive from where I live. I was actually just at the Home Depot next door to this Planet Fitness on Halloween)!
