[MashedPotato]

Hi Guys,

Thought we could share our favorite workout tunes. My collection is getting real old, real quick so I wondered what music you guys listen to.
Please post you favorite workout track (and video if available) that really gets you going.

Mine:



Artist: 3 Days Grace
Title: Animal I have Become

[KingMeso]

I've been listening to a lot of Lamb of God, Unearth, In Flames, Slayer, Dragonforce, and Shadows Fall lately.

Damn man, that track "Through The Fire And Flames" makes you want to do reps at 20,000 MPH...just to keep up with the beat.

If this doesn't get you pump, nothing will.

[MESSPLAY]

If I listen to just hardcore music the songs tend to blend together mid workout and I tune them out.

My song routine goes something like...

lil wayne - duffle bag boy
throwdown - to my friends
serj tankyen - behind empty walls
eminem - kim
linkin park - faint
casey jones - if you're smoking in here you better be on fire
tupac - hit em up
evanescence - call me when you're sober
britney spears - toxic
dead to fall - bastard set of dreams
between the buried and me - mordecai
scarface - on my block
young jeezy - i love it

Then whatever rock station for cardio

That was yesterday's routine. Man that is a weird medley when it's on paper hahahahaha

...But holy crap that gets me moving

[MESSPLAY]

i dont know man.. maybe its the nostalgia from some of those tunes (like britney spears) but the musical change is a shock to my body and forces me to listen to the music closer, which increases my focus and gets me more pumped. I can't get pumped off of listening to the same genre of music through an entire workout.

there should be a study on this

Best suggestions thus far. Add in some As I Lay Dying, a little Red Chord, maybe some August Burns Red, Misery Signals, All That Remains, Bury Your Dead, etc.

Thrice-Image of the Invisible

Good song; I just saw Thrice last week. I'm a big fan of Silhouette, too. That's the song I posed to at the comp I did in March.

I like Godsmack! Its like having Alice In chains singer alive again I love chilling to this music...

[Rivet]

Let me guide you, young one.

korn - alive

OHhhhh I love the heavier Korn tracks (like the 1st 2 albums). They lost there way for a bit but lately made a come back to the heavier side.

I don't listen to much music when working out since wires bug the hell out of me when doing anything but sitting there. I'm thinking of investing in a bluetooth stereo head set and bringing my phone (incoming calls switched off). Last time I tried playing music in the gym the wires got wrapped around the DB I was using during DB rows and I sprained my neck.

[Rivet]

hahahaha

I could of let the wires tear but I really liked the headset :P

lol! Dude I know what you mean. There is however a simple yet effective solution to that - as I found out.
Simply put the MP3 Player in your shorts pocket, or on your arm (depending on the device) and threat the wire UNDER THE SHIRT and out through the neck hole to your ears. That way there is no loose wires "hanging around" to cause damage.

This is the safest way since the day I was doing (machine) leg extensions and the wire got caught around the "extension part". Luckily i didnt have any body injury, but the mp3 player shot out of the headphone jack and across the floor gym.

Suffice to say, it has never quite worked the same since.

Even with the wire under my shirt and the ipod in my pocket, I still managed to catch one of my fingers in it on the way down of a deadlift and rip the wire in half.

That sh!t would have ruined my workout. I use an armband for my ipod and run the wire up my sleeve and through the neck hole. The excess wire hangs unnoticeably under my shirt. I haven't had a single problem with the wire.

On a seperate note, Korn f'ing sucks. What happened? They really started going downhill after "Follow the Leader" and "Issues" which were just ok albums. Their self titled album and "Life is Peachy" were good album's though. I know bands change, but they definitely changed for the worst.

[MashedPotato]

Oh no you didnt,

I think he just did.

wow, you must have been carrying about 100 yards of wire with you....

But yeah, in your case the bluetooth version seems best. Not sure what the prices are though?

I always get pumped listening to this song in the gym...
