whipped guy

LOL! I was going to mention that as a possible solution , but did not want to get overly “technical”! At any rate, the referenced popular CT provider gave you excellent advice!

I really think that some guys do it to draw attention to themselves... especially the slamming of weights. Of course if they are HOT I have akready checked them out. Still as @bigvalboy rightly notes it is a natural reaction when one goes to failure so I don’t make it bother me. When I practiced dentistry I also noticed that most bodybuilders had a tendency to grit, grind, and clench their teeth when they lifted. I even found myself doing it at times. Again it is probably an unconscious natural reaction, but while grunting might irritate some folks it won’t result in any damage. Clenching or grinding can cause damage to one’s dentition and I always made sure to bring that to the attention of anyone who had a tendency to grind their teeth whether they were a bodybuilder ot not. As for music, try Rossini overtures and especially when doing cardio. There is a rhythmic pulse that is the hallmark of his style that really gets you up an running. The overture to La Gazza Ladra can be quite infectious, but to mention the final gallop from William Tell! For lifting the music played in most gyms is usually sufficient for me to get me in the groove. As @g56whiz notes baroque can work as well... especially Vivaldi!
