This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Notes -
There are multiple studies indicating that swearing can lead to increased pain tolerance.
Similarly, it's possible that grunting can give some people that extra edge to be able to lift heavier weights. Could also just be placebo or attention seeking performance.
That being said, grunting obnoxiously loud in a public gym is pretty rude and I imagine if you're a powerlifter that needs to grunt to get that extra edge you likely could go to a gym more catered towards powerlifters where such behavior maybe more tolerated.
