Man, I guess I do. And I think it helps. I think I can get one or two more reps when I grunt and groan. I don't know if it actually helps but mentally for me it does. Well what about ya'll are y'all grunters or quiet lifters?    | ||

I usually let out some grunts towards the end of my sets, I feel it definitely helps get those last couple reps in there. But I try to keep somewhat quiet, as not to sound like an ass doing it. ------------------ | ||

Just like in martial arts, when you strike, add a little 'yell', it helps focus your energy. I can't claim to understand why, but it does work, and it probably works for most weightlifters too. | ||

Sometimes I grunt when I lift and sometimes I hold my breath, I'm not sure why. I don't really pay much attention to it. I do grunt more when I squat or deadlift | ||

I always grunt towards the end of my sets!! ------------------ "Catch a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he eats for a lifetime." | ||

I honestly believe a little grunt at beginning of a rep or the the hardest part of a rep helps me get the weight up. Just keep it low, I hate it when people bellow. Its like "everyone look at me." | ||

I ONLY GRUNT WHEN I'M DOIN THE REAL HEAVY STUFF, LIKE THE BENCH PRESS, OR SQUATS OR HEAVY DUMBBELL CURLS/PRESSES...ON THE LAT PULLDOWN I GO PRETTY HEAVY BUT I DONT FIND IT NECESSITY TO GRUNT. | ||

I try not to do that stuff, but for some reason when I get heavy on squats, I cant help it. I start graunting. Not even on purpose, just happens. ------------------

I don't usually grunt or groan when I lift. But my face turns beat red every set and all the veins in my forehead come bulging out. | ||

I can't stand grunters and groaners. I think it's all an act to get attention. | ||
