LIFTING TUNES?

[Solo59]

Okay, boys, my old jazz and singer-songwriter stuff no longer fires up my urge to lift iron. Anyone have any suggestions for more rugged or even violent music that will light my fires? (No rap or hip-hop, please. Heavy metal is okay if there is some variation in the sound or the words can actually be heard. Neo-punk is great.):D

[OntariOMuscle101]

I Have my full attention on my lifting, I cannot do the music thing when im trying to be as serious as possible. When I was in High School I did though, mostly alotta Rap and Rock something HARD, cuz im HARDCORE lol....:hu

JUNGLE and D-n-B......and for days when i do 1rm or 3rm I always listen to Vangelis "promentory" ( from last of the mohicans) or Ennio Morricone "the ecstacy of gold" (from the 3 way duel at the end of The good, the bad and the ugly )........those 2 tracks put me in the zone......

[Ritch]

I absolutely love stone temple pilots and various songs off the 2 velvet revolver CD`s. Gets me cranked every time. After my first body part I may then switch to some Anthony pappa, Darren Emerson (Uraguay CD`s the best), Deep Dish maybe some old was not was, fafa monteco, Beasty boys with different tunes off cd`s that were recorded live in the afterhours here. Format B is pretty good, saeed and palash, peace division is another good one.

[monkey]

Depends... I'd prefer no music at all if that would be possible..
But my gym, located in the heart of vancouver downtown plays the worst lifting music.
Britney spears, YMCA and other horrible stuff.
Need silence for complex, heavy lifts such as deadlifts, squats etc so I take it off for the set.
Music: Rage against the machine and that genre .. gets me angry and aggresive

[juggybuggy]

I need music for my workouts, I hate listening to myself grunt.
I like high energy music when I lift.
lately its been Rammstein, its all in german, so I have no idea what they are saying, but I like the tunes.

[Blitz-Test]

Bone Crusher I aint never scared... Right before a new max

I guess most of you guys need music to fire you up eh? I let the weights fire me up. I listen to music but it's everything from classical and rap to hip hop and rock.

Some use music to block out the distractions....

The kid on the bench next to you dropping 155lb on his chest because he swears he did it last week to his friends

The girl doing stiff leg deadlifts in the power rack next to you with the nice ass...

The 25% bodyfat guy yelling at the top of his lungs because he dumbbell pressed 75s whippedoda

[fourarms]

Slipknot, Tool best for me.

[Avitoholis]

Hmm, so many good choices...lets see; Dry Kill Logic,Three Days Grace, Bullet for my Valentine, Rev Thoery, Shinedown. That's what i'm listening to these days while I train.

[kporter]

You have to get cd's by Hatebreed, very motivating, not racial as name would suggest though, Metallica, Disturbed, POD, Godsmack, Powerman 5000, helped me through a lot of hard times guy's, your at one with tunes and Iron, happy training.

Some good bands there!!!
Marilyn Manson - "This is the new shit" has a very high energy, aggresive sound. Awesome on a leg day

I would also suggest Parkway Drive - Horizons, to those who enjoy some hard music.

[Solo59]

All this dark metal: I'd leave with a low throbbing headache and an upset stomach. No variation in the dirt bottom bass & rhythm lines can lead to lower IQs! Each to his own, of course.

Been playing a lot of Muddy Waters & John Lee Hooker heavier tunes but noticed my power increased listening to Patti Smith's "Rock N Roll ******" (she calls all social outcasts by that forbidden term), L7's "Shitlist", and Nine Inch Nail's "Burn". Need some rock rage but w/o the monotony of metal.

Studies have been conducted with soft, heart felt music like Neil Diamond and Barry Manilow to ease tension in the muscle bellies and contribute to a better sync between type 2 and 3 fibres. Allowing for more explosive lifts.

I would suggest either of their greatest hits for greater gains.

[Avitoholis]

Good thread here, keep it going.

[punkrock]

I think you can push yourself more if you can get in the mood and get pumped up for a lift. Always fast tunes for me at the gym.

Something that starts out mild and then kicks in hard is the best. I Start my reps right when it kicks in!

Disciple - Rise Up
Drowning Pool - All over me
Sick Puppies - My World
Since October - Guilty
Hed PE - Raise Hell
Destroy The Runner - From The Red
Lady Gaga haha

Good thread! not really aas, but still key.

lol, type 3 fibers?

[daande]

Mariah Carey - We belong together (gets me pumped)

[kloan]

Been listening to Gojira recently. Shit's heavy.. singer mixes it up a bit which I like, isn't always screaming.

Other than that, usually go back to DNB... it's hard to find good DNB though, man so much of it sounds the same. Trance, same thing.. after a while it just grates my nerves... I need progression in the music I listen to or I get distracted by the monotony of it.

[Dk]

All that remains

[LIVEHARD]

Friday I used a mix of Tool / audioslave / pearl jam / soundgarden /NIN and acdc

one of those days Monday was Opera so im all over the map



I use a 1 gig shuffel there the best at the gym ''i have like 3 or 4 between here and work

If you buy shoes over 120$ at a NB store the give them for free

[BritishColumbian]

I just have to say this...About 2 months ago someone broke into my car and stole my Ipod, so I started lifting without tunes, My workouts have been way better! I have more concentration and focus and the weight keeps increasing at a faster rate than it was before. Just a better all around experience, I will never use an IPOD again while lifting. Cardio yes ~ Lifting No . Just my .2mg

[wolverine]

I wear it so no one bothers me and it beats the bullshit they pump through the gym, the music is so bad, not even my wife likes it!!!

[O-Train]

I feel bad for some of you guys. I've almost always worked out at good gyms or worked at the gym so I just changed the music to suit my taste. When I tried to listen to music on an ipod a few times I got too distracted by it. For some reason I like to be able to hear whats going on around me, so I listen to whatever is playing at the gym.

Disturbed - stupify
Sevendust - face to face
