[JHoff]

Im a fan of all types of music so throw anything at me! Im, Looking for new music while im working out. And since you guys are gonna tell me what you listen to im gonna tell you what im listening to right now... Axixs, theyre a new hip hop group started by Pras of the Fugees.

smells like

 

[sweetjaymz]

anything that keeps me intense... i tend to listen to hip hop mixtapes but i like just about all genres of music..

 

[Arnold]

I like heavy rock and metal, and some death metal when I train, and I like it very LOUD!!!

 

[ALBOB]

My current favorite is Nickleback. But my iPod is loaded with pretty much everything that's hard, fast and LOUD.

 

[sweetjaymz]

if it aint LOUD theres no sense in playing it!! lol! im wit you on that! i like to drown out the lames talkin instead of working...

I like NB, although most of their stuff is not heavy enough for my training standards!

 

[irontime]

Metal and nothing else will do in the gym. Hatebreed is one of my favorites to work out to.

Each of you who said you like rock should check into (im sure you heard of but there most recent stuff) three days grace (new cd), breaking benjamin (just a elite group), and some avenged sevenfold

I went and saw Jeff Dunham this weekend. His opening act is Guitar Guy (Brian Haner). Guitar Guy's son is Synyster Gates (Brian Haner, Jr.) the lead guitar for Avenged Sevenfold.

Just some interesting FYI.

 

[fufu]

Anything on my Ipod.

Tool, Bjork, Radiohead, Daft Punk, the list goes on.

 

[ceazur]

Sinister is a very pro guitar player. He's no Randy Rhodes or Kirk Hammet ,but has lots of talent.

 

[GearsMcGilf]

Air Supply, anything by Barry Manilow or Abba.

Lifting has become my meditation time, especially since I'm working on super-slow sets as an experiment....everything is smooth. slow, deliberate and I force even harder than the weight really is....

you girl on my knob while we are working out in your bed

 

[MyK]

I listen to seminars that I have ripped to mp3. Lately I have mostly been listening to content on entrepreneurship and internet marketing.

 

[juggernaut]

I like listening to female tennis players play.

Or, metalica, nickelback, Korn, rage, nin, muse, ra...anything with a bit of aggressiveness in it. Unfortunately, I own my gym, so I really dont get to listen to my music-I need to be social to my members.

 

[irontime]

Every metal head should hear this song. Definitely one of my favorites to work out to.
YouTube - Throwdown-Venom & Tears

 

[N_I_C_K]

I listen to Disturbed, Drowning Pool, Seether, and many good single songs from multiple bands. I absolutely BLAST my music too. It eliminates all outside distractions and pumps me up so much. Loud music is almost as important as taking a pre-work out product when I lift.

 

[Kathybird]

Disturbed, Muse, Metallica, NIN, Peter Gabriel (I like the German versions), Hinder, Linkin Park, Seether, Trans-Siberian Orchestra (Mad Russian Christmas is cool), Rammstein.

... and Lady Gaga.




Shut up.


I have a kid.

 

[Mudge]

I like heavy rock and metal, and some death metal when I train, and I like it very LOUD!!!

Somehow in my years here I don't remember you talking about Cannibal Corpse and others

For me I have to admit to listening to some techno, usually for cardio. For lifting its almost exclusively thrash, death, or select Beastie Boys/Cypress Hill songs. Oh yes, LMFAO is good at times.

I'm pretty sure I've already nuked some of my hearing, so I try to keep the volume reasonable until RIGHT before my set - then I go into battle mode.

 

[Mudge]

Metal and nothing else will do in the gym. Hatebreed is one of my favorites to work out to.

The new album has at least one GREAT song on it, but Jamie's voice gets old real quick - I got to have some range PLEAAAAASE holyshytmonotony.

Every metal head should hear this song. Definitely one of my favorites to work out to.

Way too mellow, its actually quite relaxing. Slightly angry voice, with hard rock backing.

Polka is tight yo!

Polka is tight yo!

It really helps. I usually try to insert my own motivational thoughts into the song structure. i.e.,
da-da-da-da-da-da-da (da-da-da-da-da-da-da) dahh da-da-da! (lift-lift-lift-lift) ...da-da-da-da-da-da-da (da-da-da-da-da-da-da) dah-da-da-da! (lift-lift-lift-lift).
