Interesting discussion…I find myself in the gym with my headphones on and music so loud I feel I am totally alone. I lose myself in my focus to the muscle I am working and have, on occasion emitted a grunt! Takes me quite by surprise, as it probably does anyone that might be close enough to hear. I too love the squat, I use it as a whole body balance, although I don’t go for a lot of weight. Great for the glutes, once had a man approach me and ask me if I realized what body part I was working. Well duh, my a@#, guess he didn’t think women would try to build that part of their anatomy. This was long before the whole jlo booty craze.

I am not opposed to men grunting, as needed, at the gym, am opposed to umm certain other ends making noise….or not….
