Hah! This made me laugh. It's true, though. I used to think that the big dudes were just being obnoxious until I got up to that level, and realized that it's just incredibly fucking hard to lift that much weight. It takes a lot out of you, and the noises aren't for show.

Inexperienced lifters don't realize the incredible abdominal pressure you have to create for max effort lifts, the breathing control that goes with it, and the inevitable strange noises...
