On occasion something might blurt out from time to time - but I normally keep my strain intact. However, studies have shown that yelling/grunting actually is beneficial to those participating in physical activity. Screaming/yelling/grunting activates your Right Hemisphere, triggering your Amygdala, the key to emotions (Limbic System). This brain structure causes your heart to speed up, eyes to dilate, and enforces other physical survival tactics. When your heartbeat accelerates, you activate your Sympathetic Nervous System, causing epinephrine (adrenaline) to flow into your bloodstream. The next step is activation of your Fight-or-Flight Syndrome. Your entire body and mind are sent to war for your survival. You get more oxygen, more glucose (blood sugar energy), and are prepared to act like a warrior. Research indicates the auxiliary scream adds up to 15% to the power of the movement. It does "sound" silly in the gym and it is distracting as hell. But it serves it's purpose for those that do it. And my guess is they are bigger and stronger than you. :) I don’t personally grunt and/or yell in the gym.
