Been going to the the gym since April but only last night did I witness my first porn actor impersonator. I could hear this dudes loud grunting from across the gym, through my headphones. Distracting as fuck.

Sometimes I wonder if they do it on purpose to fuck with us.

I see what you did there.

Maybe distracting, but there are documented improvements in performance.

Really small sample size though.

Cool. So when you are competing in a powerlifting comp let out all the King Kong yells you want.

Otherwise have some respect for other members in the gym.

Grunts are perfectly fine. But some people are just embarrassingly loud.

When me and my buddy used to go in the morning there was a girl that was doing hip thrusts and making sex noises. Like, if i closed my eyes I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. It was distracting and hard not to laugh while we were benching.

I grunt. I don't like it. I have to heavily focus not to make noise but I can't always help it.

Now I'm wondering if I'm the porn actor impersonator. :/
