What style of music is best for training?

deadlifting to country-

:::don't fall apart:::my achy breaky back::: I just need to push it one more time:::::

::: and if you fall apart::::my achy breaky back::::the gym is really gonna hear me whine::::

 

[Alex Oviedo]

I Have to admit guys that you´ve all left out a HUGE turner on (if that word exists). The Rocky Soundtrack. At my gym, when those 80's rock sounds start flowing, everyone just start's pushing a little bit harder, and that happens to me too.

Don't know if you all agree.

I just picked up a new CD .....The band is called EARSHOT and they've got a good rockin sound ( reminicent of TOOL , well a little at least )
Good new band for any interested parties

 

[kuso]

I just picked up a new one too.......scars by SOiL....looking forward to a kickass workout tomorrow

 

[PulsatingArt]

You guys gotta try working out to Suffocation's "Effigy of the Forgotten"
or Deicide's 1st one, just called "Deicide"

Even if you're not on any caffine or ephedrine, you'll feel like you are. The anger, the hatred, makes you push that much more.

Then listen to something softer after your workout to avoid running over people walking down the street.

 

[Mudge]

All of Deicides stuff that I know of is good, although one of thier recent albums that I do not own does not sound as good as previous stuff, whatever thier last one was (Bible Basher? Come on now...)

I can listen to this stuff before bed and sleep just fine, and I dont run over people either

 

[PulsatingArt]

I was just making that note in case it was someones 1st experience, as if the heaviest thing they ever heard was Metallica or Pantera.

Serpents of the Light- Amazing workout CD

 

[Mudge]

Yes

 

[PulsatingArt]

Also, a band from the late 80's /possibly '90- Baphomet. Totally killer mosh-riff bash someone else's head in kind of music!

 

[PulsatingArt]

If I could count all the beers I've drank at every metal show since I started going to metal shows, which goes back about 16 years, and replaced them with whey protein shakes and supplements, and went into the gym instead of mosh pits, Dorian Yates would want to spot me along side with Ronnie Coleman
just kidding guys

 

[NickB]

i watch CNN while doin cardio, hehe

 

[Freeman]

I have to watch MTV2 at my gym..they have this HUGE multiple unit television thing on the wall, and that's all they play is MTV2...Can't tell you how many times during my workout I hear that damn eminem song from his movie. ugh!

anybody know where you can buy the Rocky soundtrack at? i've been looking for it everywhere.

 

[firestorm]

You guys have no clue I swear. Everyone who is ANYONE KNOWS,, SHOW TUNES are best when lifting.
You aint never done squats until you've done them to the melody of Singing in the Rain, or Oklahoma, or The hills are alive with the Sound of Music, or my favorite,,,, "I'm so Pretty" from West Side Story. Hell yeaaaa show tunes ROCK!!!!!
hehehehe

Classic rock is good; Billy Idol, Queen, Led Zepp. Otherwise Chemical Brothers, Prodigy and Fatboy Slim top my list.

You may be able to find it somewhere online or I'm sure a music store would order it for you.

 

[kuso]

I`d also be surprised if you couldn@t download it from KaZaA

Yup! True dat!

 

[I Are Baboon]

I like to listen to some Linda Ronstadt, Carly Simon, or REO Speedwagon.

Well, that's what my gym plays, anyway.

 

[Vai Fan]

Some heart pumping favorites of mine:

Schism Tool
Crawling Linkin Park
Aerials System of a Down
Hero of the Day Metallica
Turn Up the Radio Autograph

 

[firestorm]

Fire sings: heard it from a friend whoooo heard it from a frend whoo heard it from another I've been messen around!! (R.E.O) hehehehe

 

[Jay_W]

My favorite songs to lift to are:
Hatebreed - I will be heard (Great lyrics for getting pumped)
Mudvayne - Cradle (Good for getting that max deadlift)
Anything by slipknot

 

[jasonbrunt]

mudvayne...machine head...xzibit...tool...korn(1st cd)...system...deftones...nine inch nails...manson...prodigy...crystal method...onyx...wu-tang...

 

[eskimo515]

I have been listening to a lot of Brazilian music (like samba) which is great to work to, but people look at you weird because the music is so happy, you can't help but smile all the time
When it's time to get hardcore, though, I listen to: roni size, chemical brothers, krust, english beat, publlic enemy, fishbone, system of a down ("pogo" for squats), old chili peppers (i hate the new crap), and anything with a heavy baseline.

I'm sorry man!!

 

[Newbie]

Here are my suggestions:

Kittie
Dope
Meshuggah
Hate breed
Slayer
Korn
Disturbed

If these won't get you pumping then you're a corpse.

 

[Pylades]

MARDUK!

 

[Burner02]

"I'm sorry sir, but we cannot put on the hard rock station during the day, so we do not offend the other members of the 'club'"
WTF??? Offend them? All 10 of them? How' bout the rest of us who are suffering from Macy gray???
