You could forgive a guy for grunting while lifting 500 pounds -- unless you're the owners of a place called Planet Fitness.

Five hundred pounds? You must be kidding.......I wonder what the reaction would have been to my death scream as my kidneys flew across the room.

500 on a machine is different from 500 pounds of free weights. I never got to a point where I could quite deadlift 450, let alone 500. Nor could I squat that high. But I could certainly leg-press with 500 poinds of weights on the sled. I admit that I grunted slightly when I did it though.

I'm old now - I grunt when I have to get out of bed!

ROFL! (but not grunting--that would be unladylike).
