Why do guys lift weights and scream in gyms?

[carnix]

is it just to look cool and attempt to impress people they don't know?

I'm joining a gym next month, you're making me a bit scared now :p I have worried about the sounds I will make, when I do squats at home and it starts to hurt, I tend to moan a little. It's not to impress anyone, it's just a natural reaction.

We'll I lift. And back when I did power lifting you grunt sometimes because it's so hard that you just can't control it. Like that little extra grunt/release helps you get that last little bit of weight

[CourtJester]

I don't usually grunt unless I'm doing a heavy set. Just gotta accept there's some people like that.

What kind of gyms do you go to? I've never heard a guy scream at a gym lmao

[Flex4Ever]

The same reason that tennis players scream. Believe it or not, it enhances your performance.

To impress people and because they are idiots.
Screaming like a moron doesn't add "strength". Maybe a groan here and there but not like a ranging animal.

I workout alone in college gym and I usually am super quite

[Patrick453]

enhances performance also because its heavy and it hurts lol

No its a release of energy. It helps. Some guys can't even control it.
