Ryan Bridge: Can we please stop with the gym grunting

Do you know what really grinds my gears when I go to the gym? 

What I've noticed is, you know when you watch tennis, and you hear them grunt when they're playing? That is happening at the gym. 

I don't know if it's just my gym. I don't know if this is also happening at your gym. 

But can we please stop the grunting? 

Is there a legitimate physiological reason for you to do that? I don't think there is, I've never felt the urge to grunt. 

Are you dying? Why are you doing this? 

It's off putting, it's inappropriate, and it's inconsiderate. 

Have a thought for those people who are trying to work out around you and shut your mouth. 

I mean, obviously breathe, that's quite important, but other than that, just shut up. 

It's very off putting, very annoying. 

It sounds like that barbell is getting more than a deadlift. 

Sometimes I listen to it, and I think, oh my goodness, is there going to be a climax at some point?
