Guy kicked out of gym for grunting while lifting

Now I see guys grunting all the time at the gym, and really if you're not grunting just a little bit you're probably not going as hard as you can.

That said however, there are always a plethora of guys who over do it, and sound like they're giving birth. Now depending on the loudness of this guy's grunting, it may or may not be justified.

But if it is a rule at the gym, and as the manager says, he got "irate and nasty", then he definitely should be kicked out. Plus, the type of guy who goes to the gym enough to be able to squat 500 lb and would get angry in this situation, I would say that he's got to be a level 9-10 grunter and was bothering people. And, it was clearly enough to have the manager come by to warn the guy, since grunting has to occur at all times.

/waits for typical ATer to come by saying "oh I go to the gym once a month and can squat 800lb, 500lb is nothing"
 
he's not much of a lifter if he's squatting in a multigym machine

I bet he was in there screaming through every rep ("look at me, look at me"), then told the staff to fvck off when they told him to quit it. Guys like that are douchebags.
 
Reminds me of the David Cross bit.
I wish they would ban creepy naked old guys in the locker room who want to chat. Ugh. I keep telling myself they're the reason I'm out shape.

You mean the guy that sticks on more weight than he can handle, does four reps with awful form, grunting through every rep?

Then yells to his buddy across the gym, "Yeah, baby yeah! 400 lbs! You see it?!"
