Seriously bros! heavy slow blues beats and raunchy guitar riffs for heavy lifting...all this speed metal stuff is way out of the groove for goin' heavy.

speed metal rhythm=hummingbird
blues rhythm=grizzly bear

i listen to anything that will keep me pumped through the work out

Vinnie Paz!!!! Look him up!

kuran on tape

Listening 2 young jeezy! Shit is gangsta!

Hip hop and R & B! Ear still ringing from it lol

The air was warm but the breeze was cool. I swear to God it was like that practically every single day.

Gym was required class in that school district and weightlifting was considered a gym class so this was my first real experience with weightlifting (at about 16 yrs old). Have to say I haven't had a gym with a better physical environment yet. If I ever move back to SoCal I will look for an open-air gym again.

I think music is only one part of the overall environment that contributes to a good lifting session. Arnold has a whole chapter in his encyclopedia dedicated to selecting the right gym and that is one of the variables to consider.

open air lifting is not the same every where in the country, Here in Ohio, air quality is often poor, while in California with the ocean and mountains exerting their influence on air currents even if the air is dirty sometimes it gets replaced quickly.

Lucky bastard...

Sorry guys, this beat owns any other beat for heavy 5x5's:



Listen, repent, and be ye converted.

The rover!

anything by disturbed...favorites for the weight room: Warrior, The Animal, Breathe, Ten Thousand Fists, Indestructible, This Moment, The Curse

Fucking right! Bonham is a beast on the drums

i would like a drum n bass dj to remix Led Zeppelin's "the Immigrant Song" as a fast dnb remix for me.....

i think we can give something from EK's store for it

"Operation Mindcrime" has been on the playlist lately.
Having EPIC 80's rock flashbacks

I need to either borrow my wife's phone or get something to listen to music while I'm in the gym. I hate listening to other people waste their time in there...

Kmfdm

Pandora radio ...I mostly listen to music to avoid taking to anyone

Metalica
Priest
Scorps
Five Finger Death Punch
Dio
Marilyn Manson
Old KISS
Ozzy / Black Sabbath
some old jazz
more trance music than i probably need (good for cardio, not lifting)

I started singing, "Here Come's the Sun" in the gym today before a set...
