Going to the gym in your Nike Metcons (or Rebook officially licensed CrossFit motherfuckers) and whacking a truck tire with a sledgehammer isn’t a workout. Sledgehammering fucking tires isn’t a sport at the Olympics, power lifting is, bitches. I’m trying to get a pump to old soul music and you’re fucking loud and annoying.

geez, what did Strongman ever do to you?
(although that’s more flipping tires than hitting them, but still)

How is attacking a truck tire not a workout?

The only functional strength is distance running and parkour.
And opening pickle jars.

All that noise interrupts my chill. Some people try to get amped up while they lift, I try to zen out the testosterone. It’s not like they’re John Henry training to pound railroad spikes into the ground.

So, let me guess. Some Crossfitter talked shit about one of your big 3? Or just general arrogance that’s used to mask a ten cent squat in hundred dollar clothes?
PS Powerlifting isn’t in the Olympics. Olympic lifting is.

Nah man, literally it’s this dude just banging away with his damn sledgehammer. Well, then he did dumbbell rows really excitedly with like 50 lb dumbbells and made sure to throw them to the ground as loudly as possible at the end of each set. Dammed distracting, I tell ya.
(I’m not a power lifter, I do a push/pull/legs 3 day split with cardio and abs every day.)

Want a real work out? Be a roofer. Carrying lots 75lb bundles of shingles up a ladder for 2 hours will do that.

I’ve heard of these magnificent isolation devices known as “head phones” which allow you to listen to whatever you want and block out everything else. There are also less sophisticated versions known as, “ear plugs” which just block out all noise.

How do you think I’m listening to my old soul music? ;) That damn tire is LOUD.

Isn’t hitting a tire with a sledges kind of dumb? Can’t it bounce back?

might want to look for a combination library/gym, or one of those places that doesn’t let people deadlift

He made sure to drop his 135 lb barbell he was deadlifting really loudly too.
I don’t mind noise at the gym for the most part, just certain nonsense that’s loud for no good reason rattles my brain.

Some of my noises would probably set off their lunk alarm. I’m fine with people making some noise of there exerting themselves. It’s really just the stuff where people make *dumb* noises like chucking not-very-heavy weights at the floor because they think they’re cool.

Wouldn’t functional strength be like rowing, or cycling, or running, or swimming... hammering tires is not really a functional thing.

They should put a pile of wood out back, & a wedge to go with that sledge. I remember doing this as a kid about 9 or so. I think it was a punishment, but I wasn’t sure what for.
It is satisfying when a huge log splits down the middle.

It’s the Captain Kirk wood chopping WOD, duh.
(I find that whoever’s wearing Crossfit shoes at a regular gym is often the most annoying person there.)

I had a guy behind me in the gym who was making extremely loud jet turbine noises every time he lifted. It wasn’t annoying (my music was up), but it was damn funny. Loud breathing is a given, but this was a sort of long, drawn-out whistling sound.

Yeah, that’s a 1rm.
I’ve been going with a 5x5 lately with the last set being heavier that the previous 4.
