There is a man at the gym who SCREAMS when he is lifting. I am talking 3-4 seconds worth of yodeling, high pitched, little schoolgirl style. I am on the treadmill, music CRANKED, and I can still hear him. I think screaming like this should only be reserved for "PLEASE CALL ME AN AMBULANCE SITUATIONS." I run some pretty awful speed workouts on the treadmill(when I can't go outside) and I can keep my yap shut, maybe I should start hollering too?

I'm just kidding about screaming too, but it's not just one guy. Some of these guys count out loud in a group as they lift. and then they come over to the treadmills and holler at each other there to PUSH IT, C"MON!!!

well I bet he needs to yell for attention, like look at me I'm doing it.
I understand a little grunt with a heavy weight, but most men do it for the attention. I was 13 once in a gym and i did it to. but I grew up and hit 15 and realized its embarrassing, now at 38 I think it is stupid, very stupid to do it. Its interferes with the other peoples work out.
You should read a book while you run and start yelling after you finish the book, walk around with your chest push out and SLAM the book down on the ground and say, I did it I finished it, book who's your mommy now . that would be so funny.

Get a few friends to go to the gym with ya and when the man screams, initiate a screaming sequence where you scream a second after the end of his, and a friend a second after yours, etc. Make sure you all scream at different notes ie pitches. Work on making a melody! ..ps the man probably has a reason to scream, maybe a physical problem.. Either way, if he's willing to go to the gym and work out but it does cause him to scream, I'm pretty sure he's got a weighty reason for himself.

There is certainly some basis for this.It sounds like this guy is overdoing it a bit.In martial arts this sound is called a Kiai.You make a very loud sound when you exert yourself.At times lifting weights can also be painful.The sound help you release the pain and deal with it psychologically.This is why scientists say that weightlifting improves your pain threshold.But this guy is obviuosly carried away.You see no need to do this because it only works for anaerobic stress.Next time he does it stuff a gym towel in his mouth.

Its a male thing. It gets the adrenaline pumpin' which in turn helps to push the body to its limits.
Kinda like those people you hear about who lift a rolled over car off of somebody, their adrenaline is pumping so furiously, that is how they were able to lift the car, or some other heroic feat.
I myself, as a guy, find other guys like that amusing. I wonder if some of them realize just how silly they sound? But, that is the reason.

The guy is probably screaming to emphasize to others that he's a super-hunk lifting hunky weights, but screaming like a school girl? I think he may have hurt himself in the past... does he look anything like Mike Tyson? lmao
Screaming IS kinda cool when a woman has an orgasm though... makes a guy feel like he done good!

As a guy who lifts weights I can tell you that guy is just trying to draw attention to himself. There is no reason to SCREAM, exhaling with some noise on the push is one thing but if this guy is screaming he is probably just trying to get people to look and see how much he is lifting.

LMAO at Markos! Just be happy you don't have to deal with farting. Yeah, I hate it when guys do that sh!t at the gym...it is soooo annoying! They don't scream at my gym, but they grunt unnecssarily loudly. UGHHHHHH! UGHHHHHHH! It's like, look at me, look how hard I'm pumping iron! It's usually the fat dudes who hardly ever come to the gym and try to overextend themselves. Or the really pumped up 5'4" ones. Sometimes it annoys the hell out of me so much, I have to stop whatever I'm doing and move to the other side of the gym.

I suggest you delicately talk to him and ask him to be a little quieter. If he rudely says no, speak to the manager. The scream helps with the last push, but the volume level can be controlled like during an orgasm.

Perhaps dude is deaf? Throw some 70s love songs in the iPod and sing along, it will serve as a nice complement to his screaming.

At least they didn't throw up. Last time I was at the club, a recruiter was torturing a young man. He yelled at him, he screamed at him, he told him to push and push until when they walked by me, the poor guy bent over and threw up all over everything. Nasty
