Title: Leroy Davis and his screaming.....
Post by: BEEFYHEAVYWEIGHT on May 06, 2018, 10:57:42 AM
While this rant is not to discredit Dorians achievements or work ethic....nor to judge Leroy Davis as an individual. But my god.....I just watched some segments of Leroy and Dorian training from peak times...as well as Leroy training some guys recently.  But...for Christsakes....HOW IN THE HELL DOES ONE TRAIN...OR EVEN DO A SET WITH SOMEBODY SCREAMING AND HOLLERING nonsense at you during a set. That would drive me mad. My early years training in the 80's had me at one of the most hardcore gyms in the US....which was John Kempers Diamond Gym in Maplewood, New Jersey. The best of the best and some of the best Jersey guys were bred and born out of that gym....and while there was some screaming going on...NOTHING like Leroys shit was needed. Anyway...just wanted to. rant.

It's annoying and distracting for others in the gym. I don't get why people have to grunt for every set either, sure if the last rep is a grind by all means, but every fucking rep of every set? It's fucking dumb.

I hung with Dorian while he trained ... and Leroy was there, as was usual at the time.

The man’s just an endless vox assault. Haha.

Totally cool dude, though.

shouting and screaming uses energy, why not shut the fuck up and get a bit more out of the set.

 If you're able to make any kind of overt noise while lifting, you're probably not lifting heavy enough.

Because it’s motivating.

I always enjoyed the screaming. Very unusual and eerie sounding voice. Likely helped motivate Dorian to train harder.

I bet that Leroy’s wife begs him to talk and scream like that in the bedroom. They might even have sex while his training video plays in the background

Only had a couple of these guys in the gyms over the years. I recall one time doing incline db press or clues at about 2/3's of the way up I dropped a db on my chest (missing my chin by a cpl inches) because I laughed so hard at the screamer next to me. 120 or 130lb dbs I believe. Broke my concentration for the rest of the workout and finnished up with a few sets of worthless 20lb lateral raises.

The screaming stopped, at least for a few minutes.

If you were training lifting heavy and intense looking like Dorian no one would give two shites, but the you carry on like that and your a buck 85 skinny fat or even a juiced uo wannabe doing partial reps thats whats annoying. No one the world over has ever given two s$%#s if someone is noisy and they are lifting some real heavy weights. If your the strongest in the gym, where i come from you can be the noisiest, its your call,just back the noise up with some weight,  maybe not these days with your planet and 24hr fitness

Apparantly they or not friends any more. Dorian asked how he was doing like 10 years ago. Dont know how things are now though.

Dorian needed him for spotting purposes during his career... once he retired, Dorian got rid of his wife and Leroy

Good spotter gym partners dos definately not mean you automatically click as fiends irl.

And Dorian is not a gymrat any more.  He did it for sport and then retired.

Yates was a hoodlum without a backup plan.  BBing was an out vs a skinhead lifestyle. Ronnie actually had a good education (accountant)  and career (police) outside of bbing. Flex, Kevin and Yates actually have a lot in common
