anyone know some really good music that gets u really pumped up while ur lifting??
depends what music your into
I have found a new love for 'Pendulum', they have some kick ass motivational songs. they are Drum & Bass.
WHY?.....
Because life was'nt meant to be easy
Speaking of D&B, London Eliktricity have an excellent album called 'billion dollar gravy' which is uplifting and highly motivational. Its a few years old but still class. Also Dkay and of course the classics by DJ Zinc and ganja krew's super sharp shooter.
Not really my thing, but drum and bass is pretty hard to beat for motivation due to the 150 + bpms used. Greyboy is good for acid jazz with a kick, and my personal favourite - utter class.


People will always make threads regarding this.
A good inspiring theme for lifting is the Rocky Story cd. Great motivation if you liked any of the Rocky films...

"Phenomenon" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs is always a hit...
"The test of courage comes when we are in the minority. The test of tolerance comes when we are in the majority." - R. W. Sockman
Tool(Sober, No Quarter, Eulogy, lots of others), A Perfect Circle (Pet, Judith, Outsider), Alice in Chains (Real Thing/Heroin, Dam That River, Man in the Box).
Lots of other rock when I get sick of Tool in the gym, which hardly ever happens.
Streetlight Manifesto. I'm not a fan of "ska" music but these people are actually talented... and every song is fast and uplifting. The only problem with listening to this band when you work out is if your a big fan of them like me, cause it's hard to get the proper breathing techniques in when you're singing (pretty much every song by them has a rediculously catchy chorus). Its fast, makes your happy, good to workout... that's my opinion... try it out... it's music... if worse comes to worse you can always just turn it off![]()
When you learn to find the humor in every situation... you'll learn that laughing is a much better reaction than getting upset.
Audioslave works for me.
You guys are going to lose. You might as well just cheer for me, because Boston isn’t winning in Boston for the season opener. I’m sorry. " - Gilbert Arenas

pump up the jam...get your body grooving...

Most hiphop, Nas especially, as well as Public Enemy. metallica works, Korn and Godsmack.
What about classical?
Actually, you'll laugh but I find that if play the C. Reeve Superman theme, I get pretty psyched.
