I don’t know where in history it became unacceptable to let out a grunt while lifting weights or to drop your dumbbells on the floor. People working out are loud, it’s not your fucking privilege to have a low decibel level in a gym. Even if I was screaming, who is it hurting? Gyms should be expected to be more of a loud environment. Silence should be the exception not the norm, people who want silence are the minority and they should have to schedule their quiet times in a manner that doesn’t interfere normal every day gym goers.

      They're usually called barbell clubs, but the ones I've been to would have people look at you just as funny if you're making a ton of noise. Dropping things is generally more accepted though
