YEESSSSSSSSSSSSIR and pantara....

Too many to list but As I Lay Dying's "The Powerless Rise" has definitely been flowing as of late. Iron Maiden is another one also.

SFW!!!!

Mostly Tool, Rage Against the Machine and The Mars Volta.

LOL, I love Five Five Finger Death Punch for workout music, as long as it is coming over the gym speakers. I dont walk around the gym with a MP3 player or wearing sunglasses... LOL

If you gym dont play workout music, then switch gyms.....

When I strut the gym floor or am training hard, I am more worried about shitting in my pants from all the damn FOOD I have been eating... Not supplements... But real FOOD!!! People....

pantera, rammstein, and pink, I mean no no not pink lol

Damn, nobody likes Rap on this forum lol...DZK & Gravity Wisewords(underground rap)

Dude...this was...confusing...
(calls to mind early 90's fighting game music? e.g. killer instinct, street fighter II?)

Today is a back day so probably Avenged Sevefold's Waking the Fallen.

All the tracks, even "I won't see you tonight" are good to workout to.

Running, walking, cycling... just faster paced 80's and 90's metal.

In the gym lifting? I don't have time for an mp3 player and earbuds being in my way. Something good on the stereo is fine.

Honestly those two "I won't see you tonight" songs are my favorites. I'm a sucker for harmonizing guitars. Doesn't even have to have words. Like Lamb of God's Ashes of the Wake.

I do. I listen to everything except for crying in your beer country music... from old metal to new metal, from classic rock to new hard rock, even broadway musicals. My favorite song in the world is, "Defying Gravity" from "Wicked." Yes, even Rap. I love Ludacris, DMX, and a few others...but not in the gym.

I enjoy some Swollen Members, Eminem and Jeezy while in the gym. But it has to be on lighter days. I just can't lift heavy to that shit.

Heavy day in the gym... that's got to be metallica, pantera, and other similar things. But NOT on an mp3 player...again...in the way.

Five Finger Death Punch
Breaking Benjamin

Pandora or Slacker radio

best lifting environment ever (music included) was 9:30am high school lifting in Rancho Bernardo High School in Socal. There was a sweet vintage marantz stereo pumping out some classic rock like zeppelin, van halen, eagles etc. The weightlifting only gym had roll up doors (if I remember) that opened it up to Southern California mountains that were glowing like gold in the morning sun. 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.

Mixed for me , some Van Halen , Foo Fighters , TI , Papa Roach , all kinds of stuff in my Ipod

I wonder if Jay listens to his own beatz?

Deftones, Meshuggah, Chimaira, Sevendust, System of a Down, Sylosis, Mudvayne, etc.

Mostly I like metal or hard rock. Occasionally I throw in something else though.

Doesn't matter if I'm doing weights or cardio, this song ALWAYS gets played first...badass movie too!

SFW!
