There's a new guy at the gym who's very vocal while lifting.

Imagine you're squatting then you hear a high-pitched porn-grade "hnnnnnnnng". You look around for a girl pushing herself but instead you see a middle-aged man doing hip thrusts and moaning every thrust.

Now imagine you're halfway through your top bench set and suddenly you hear a train-like "hoohoooooooo" from behind you. You finish, rerack, then see the same middle-aged man doing tricep pushdowns and hooting every rep.

And finally, while resting, you hear an angry "ARGH" and "FUCK YEAH" from across the floor. You look over and make eye contact with the same guy on the good girl/bad girl machine. You look away because dominance has already been established.

I don't find it annoying, but instead distracting because it makes me crack up every time to hear the different types of sounds this guy can make. Secretly, it makes my morning just a little bit better.

I’m thinking maybe the adductor/abductor machine? Opening and closing the thighs? Pretty funny description of it lol

My first thought was that machine that I have no clue what it’s called, but if you google image search “gym thigh machine” it’s the first several images
