Do you grunt/shout when lifting weights?

[calfzilla]

If I do it's only loud enought that I am the only one who can hear it.  Unless you are Jay Cutler's size there is no need to do those loud grunts, other than to make yourself look like a jack ass.

loud grunting or screaming during lifting is just a sad cry for attention revealing epic low self esteem and desire for validation from strangers because that was lacking in a father/child relationship

Studies have shown NO correlation between grunting and screaming and intensity level or strength.  My belief is its done to draw attention to themselves, especially from other men.

There's a skinny twink who got into this habit at my gym several months ago.  He just looks ridiculous screaming like he's getting fucked in the ass when he's using half the weight of anyone else.  Bonus, he's there every night.
