The only time I do this is when I am on that final "extra" rep sometimes, after I cannot do anymore, yet do 2 more anyway. Then I may "grunt" on that last one. -------------- The one goal you will NEVER achieve is the one you never attempt.

Some guys feel like it helps them, some guys do it semi-consciously, some guys do it just to show off and draw attention. I exhale loudly, but nothing more.

Philia2 Posts: 4,078 Joined: 2001/10/19	2003/04/08, 02:08 AM Oh and I find it rather sexy LOL but I do agree that you got different kinds of grunting; the "sexy Oh my dear" ones, the "I'm here" ones, the "I'm gonna kick a$$" ones and of course the "SOS and fast!" ones........ (other suggestions?!! ;o) I work out with a guy. He's rather strong so sometimes I make him lift heavier than he often believes he can himself. Then he starts grunting like a bear lol and always wanting to kick the dumbbell (or machine) after. It's just too hilarous......... -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.
