@Esplorare i blocked you fo the hell of it, and well it' how it works on this site and in life. I don't see why i need to provide a further explanation. loololol.. I know that long laugh offended you, but then fine.. i don't need to care.

[Esplorare]

The ish HURTS. You must have not lifted weights before? It feels like your muscle is being stretched and may even hurt your joints. It's not about "trying to impress others" it's about releasing your thoughts/feelings with a noise. No different from the way someone would grunt if they stubbed their toe into a table.

[Asker]

i know. just i don't need total strangers to impress me with grunting.

[Esplorare]

@Asker who says they're trying to impress you? That's a really arrogant, egotistical assumption

[Asker]

it's not... but then it's the rationale/psychology behind it.

[Esplorare]

what do you mean?

[Asker]

i'm saying this is the rationale behind it... but it's nice I have to check in with you to say i need to express anything here.. looololol... perhaps learn some basic social tools, you retard..

[Esplorare]

@Asker okay? Grow up. You are too old to be acting like that and throwing around the term 'retard', a mental impairment, as an insult. Some who could be nearly 50 should demonstrate more maturity. Please conduct yourself as more of a man, and less of a child.

[Esplorare]

So you, a grown man who has been alive for over 3 decades, think it's acceptable to make fun of those who are mentally retarded and have Asperger's? Not cool. You're not hurting my feelings, just making yourself look like a low quality human being. I'm not giddy by the way, just answered your question. You are getting giddy from trying (and failing) to degrade a stranger. THAT is truly foolish.

[Esplorare]

There's no need for you to be so dramatic and reduce your manhood to a catty little girl because someone didn't answer the way you wanted them to.

[Asker]

sorry, but i swore at you because I can... i don't care either way, since i don't know you nor your buddies/allies here, and humans are and can be judgmental at any age... i'm 27, but meh... not bothered. If you presume I have less right to post my thoughts and push some phantom rules, or say how i as some stranger should post, then you clearly as an adult yourself never learnt basic social rules.

[Esplorare]

I didn't bother reading the post. It's too long and I don't care for your dramatic, whiny mouth enough to give you that much eyeball energy.

[Esplorare]

You have no reason to be being such a whiny, catty, drama queen who acts like a 14 year old girl with bitchitude. Chill. Don't ask questions if you lose your composure and mentally revert back to puberty when you don't hear what you like.

[Asker]

well i don't really care about you... i'm only highly amused since you get irate at me posting as i choose... well use your 'strength' to come and beat me... lolol.. you and @kambo_tricky or whoever he is..

[Esplorare]

@Asker Lol I'm not even irate. You can't just assume that just because you have formed a mental image of what I'm like means that it's factual.

Your dramatic tone is getting stale.

[Asker]

looolol.. sorry, you do to me, gives me a TOTAL right to reciprocate...:)

[Littlett25]

Because it hard... & no it doesn't matter & they aren't impressing anyone.

[Asker]

i believe many do, but it provides a good laugh..

[Anonymous]

Sometimes you gotta let the strain out like on the last rep or something. But dudes who grunt a lot at the gym so that it's noticeable are just beef heads with no brains.

[Asker]

i think it's dopey... and? are you going to tell some random Web stranger what to believe, or that's he bad for being "judgmental"? OK... i'm like all other seven billion people then.. hehe lolol..

[Opinion Owner]

no bruh, judge it up! I, too am judgmental! lol

[Asker]

well seven billion people are... but come and find me and beat me, since it's clear i'm not allowed to post here, and have to post to your liking!

[Opinion Owner]

wtf? lol

[Asker]

It is true loolol.

[Asker]

that's nice... but then i like how you're offended at me posting non-serious stuff, or that i have to like you and all of your friends... i'm not a spiritualist, go away.,.

[kambo_trick3y]

You know tenofthepeaks, sometimes I wonder if you're actually legally retarded and just make up stuff in your head. You probably are, considering how offended you got from this simple video :D

[Asker]

i'm not offended, though i believe you're retarded since that was not my intent... your intent is just with other friends you have here to "bully" me, but that's fine, i don't usually put much stock in this place..

[kambo_trick3y]

You are so angry, look how hard you are trying. it makes me happy to see you so angry :D

[Asker]

eh? i never said i was... i'm actually amused since i know MY posting of this in the tone I am is offending you... but that's fine. i like how i'm not supposed to joke around loloool.

[Esplorare]

@kambo_tric3y riiiight? WTF what's with @Asker's aggressive attitude?

[kambo_trick3y]

@Esplorare

I know the guy. He's a troll. He's made multiple accounts over the years. He's kind of had a long standing grudge with me cause I've called him out throughout all of his accounts.

[Esplorare]

... WHAT THE HECK. Lol My goodness.

[Asker]

no, just this man has a clear social condition, but that's not my problem, as do you, Madam.. haha..

It's a release of oxygen. When you breath hard you make sounds. It's normal.

Let's go!!! Get that shit!!! Grrrrrrr. Ahhhhhh.

[Asker]

cool story bro... but i like how you determine who or what posts here, or what views are allowed... loloolol... here's what, tell me why i have to post perfect and uber-reasoned stuff... or come and phsycially remove my computer from me with your "gym strength"? looolol.

[Opinion Owner]

What? I was just being funny. That's not me lol. The first part I'm serious about though. I think it's important to release and intake oxygen because your body is using it so fast and your muscles need it to continue to do work. Breathing is very important in weight lifting. It's a must. Do some guys over do it? Sure.

[Asker]

no, i reckon the whole point is to overdo it... and I don't like it. why cannot I express this view? loolol.. come and find me and beat me, fool.

[Opinion Owner]

What the hell are you talking about? I never said you can't express the you feel people overdo it. I guess people should hold their breath the entire time they are lifting. Maybe you should hold your breath forever.

[Esplorare]

Awesome pic!

[Esplorare]

@Asker are you basically being a drama queen and attempting to insult and attack anyone on this post who says something you don't like?

[Asker]

looolol.. i post as i please... clearly you and all others here don't like that. that's all I will say, since you're all strangers, and i don't need to care.

[Esplorare]

@Asker Since you blocked me like a coward to get the last word...

... whaaat? Whatever you say, drama queen. It's really not that deep. Grow up and stop crying when answerers don't tell you what you want to hear. It's unbecoming.

[chrisbigman]

I'm guessing people grunt because it's a heavy weight that they are lifting and their body is responding to such in a verbal manner.

[Asker]

cool story...

[ELGRECO]

Watch and learn

[Maxemeister]

Not impressing anyone. It's a way of getting oxygen in and out of your lungs when lots of pressure is focused there

[Asker]

that's nice... but then we both nay all know that it's done to look cool and make others think they're "roughnecks"... not bothered really, i just laugh and move on.

[Maxemeister]

I grunt when I do it cuz it's tough

[Asker]

that's nice... but then i don't see why this lie matters.. lol..

[Maxemeister]

Wut lie?

[Asker]

the lie to say it's NOT to look cool... but i'm not bothered...

[Keyspirits]

They wanna make dem cuties hear them moan while doing the weights 😘
