Its animal behaviour, when a dude slams the weights down he is trying to establish that he is the alpha male, if you  dont like it throw your weights through the ground and put those weenies in their place

who said you gotta live life like a drone? i'm just saying who cares about what some novice schmoe is doing in the gym? everyone's gotta start somewhere, and lot of people start out as retards who slam weights and wear bandanas. eventually they'll get the point or grow up to be older, bigger retards. who cares.

the other day, I was doing incline with the 140's dumbells, I managed a good 12 reps, after I was done, I had to let that shit slam on the floor, My gold's Gym is a very cool place, but some other gold's warned members not to let the weights slam on the floor. You can get injured on some occasion, if you have to dispose of the weights quietly.
Agreed.  If it may cause you injury to place the weight down, drop it.  Dumbell bench press is the only one I can think of.  On incline, it's easier for me to just rest them back on my knee.  I usually dominate a set of 65's on those! ;D

After his max set of bent-over barbell rows, Mike Quinn used to throw it down to the ground and yell "guy!" (source: old Flex mag)

There's a physiotherapy clinic directly underneath my gym. Needless to say they're pretty strict about dropping weights.

As I see it, if you're a stong mofo or a 260+ lbs monster, you have every right to throw 'em down. Who's gonna stop ya??  ;D

Guys who try to lift more than they can handle drop weights.  And obnoxious guys who want attention drop weights.

i've used 140s and never dropped them and never use a spot...Bring them to my knees everytime and then either to the floor or back to the rack...Slow movements always in control...

Its like smoking, You see these little kids doing it and you just want to set them straight but of course you don't and just live and let live...

Their are so many douche bags in my gym, that its actually funny to me....

Unless you're deadlifting 300+lbs. or racking 400+lbs squats, why would you slam your weights.  I saw this guy the other day who literally threw 135lbs back on the squat rack after doing deadlifts?  Like he was being judged on his dismount. 
Better yet, letting the monster stack of 150lbs come crashing down, after doing seated rows? 
Completely unnecessary.
It's not a church, but some things just make you wonder...why?  Usually, it's someone with a tough guy image to uphold.  Hey! Check me out, I'm blasting average weight on massive amounts of drugs! 
Yeah, that's awesome!

Because it's fun to piss people off?  You're not serious are you?  It's awesome as hell to walk into a gym with plates banging everywhere.  None of that in my gym now and I miss it.

I deadlift about 135lbs about for 10, and usually my grip is killing on the last few reps due to blisters, or the bar is slipping out of my hands, so the last thing I'll care about is taking an extra 5 seconds (when I'm already about to burst or bar is about to slip) to slowly put it down on the rack or floor. I usually let it down slowly, but granted, I just want to get it out of my hands, and if it makes a noise, so be it.

I don't do that but I'm the guy that leaves all the weights unracked and loaded barbells and then leaves before anyone notices.

i don't slam weights but when you are deadlifting doubles and triples with 500+ pounds it's hard to be quiet about it. i had a trainer come up to me and tell me i was slamming weights around while doing reps with 495. i asked to speak with the manager and everything was cool. i even did a set in front of him to show him i was setting the weight down in a very controlled fashion. heavy weights make noise.

In general, I just love the sounds of Dumbells slamming the floor, but I cant stand anybody dropping light ass weight to the floor just to make themselves seen. I was watching a Ronnie coleman video, where he was doing Flat Dumbell press with the 200's. he went for 12 solid reps, and after that he just let them heavy ass shit slam the floor, and you could hear how loud that shit was. IT should be mandatory to drop heavy ass weights when you done. period
