music

[beefcurry1]

i was just curious as to what music yall (yes "yall" im somewhats hillbilliy, i do live in texas) like to listen to when you work out. im partial to slipknot, pantera, and mudvayne. my coach isnt a big slipknot fan but the rest he says "anythings better than country"

Just the sound of iron clanging together gets me pumped. No need to have music to get me into the mood. I once had a partner who would use head sets. Everytime I was under the weight and needed a spot he was to into his music to notice. Needless to say, our working relationship didn't last long.

BTW -- I have to agree with your coach about country. Can only take that stuff for a song or two then gotta get back to some good ol' rock and roll.

I used to listen to HipHop, but now i find that punk and rock is the best to get you pumped. Gimmie a little Less Than Jake and I'm all set!

The playlist of the CD I ripped for my workout room stereo:

Let's Get Ready To Rumble!
Guns n' Roses: Welcome To the Jungle
1 + 1: Cherry Bomb
Joan Jett: Do You Wanna Touch Me
Blue Oyster Cult: Go Go Godzilla

Well i wait till my parents clear off and then go upto my loft for my workout and pump out the Warp Brothers album 'Warp 10' ... one thins for sure it helps me get them sets in !

[abarlament]

I forget what CD my team has in our weight room, but if I could make a CD, heres what would be on it:

System of a Down: Know
SoD: War
Red Hot Chili Peppers: Around the world
Sublime: I forget the name,m but it's on the S/T CD and it says something about a rolling stone
Black Sabbath: Iron Man
Goldfinger: 99 Red Balloons
Limp Bizkit: A lot of their songs they always get me pumped
KoRn: the new song
Mudvayne: Dig, Idiot

[beefcurry1]

my personal favorite combination is

slipknot - sic, surfacing
mudvayne - dig, internal primates forever, death blooms
pantera - primal concrete sledge
coal chamber - el cu cuy, loco
primer 55 - set it off
static x - push it
white zombie - super charger heaven, more human than human
dry kill logic - rot
cypress hill - cant get the best of me
disturbed - down with the sickness
hed pe - waiting to die, killing time

isnt it nice that the youth of america listen to such nice music

We just listen to the radio at my schools weight room. The funnies thing is when ever some one puts on something my coach doesn't like he yells out of his office, "WHAT THE F*CK IS THIS SH*T!" That gets me pumped more than the music.

Metal!

System of a down - Needles, Psycho
Tool - Ticks and Leeches, Intolerance
Sepultura - Dead Embryonic Cells
Union Underground - Turn Me on mr deadman, South Texas deathride
Danzig - I don't mind the pain, Liberskull, Twist of Cain, Lillin
Nothingface - Same Solution, Can't wait for violence
Type O Negative - Christian Woman
Pantera - F'ing Hostile, Walk
Godsmack - Awake, Sick of life

to name a few...

[Piper]

Ummm.. Britney Spears, S-Club 7, Steps, Spice Girls....

NOT!

I agree with most of you on the heavy rock.. it really helps churn out the reps... But I like some good club tunes that are rough too... seems to get my head more in the mood...

And the best thing for relaxing is good old Chinese Traditional Music.... Long Live Chen Juan (really effective for Yoga - clears the mind)...

[Sophos9]

I have:

System of a down - Jet Pilot, Psycho
Gun n roses - Get In The Ring
Ironmaiden - Bring You Daughter
Slipknot - Wait & Bleed, My Plague
Static X - Black & White, Get To The Gone
Muse - Bliss, New Born
Ozzy Osbourne - Gets Me Through
Steve Vai - For The Love OF God
Joe Satriani - The Extremist
Rammstein - Du Hast, Ich Will
Greenday - Basket Case (of course!)
Hole - Celebrity Skin

Cooling down:

Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond

I love me music, used to play in a few groups aswell !!

Or any of the music from the 1500 CDs that are in our collection. My wife and I both workout at home. Sometimes we just like the sound of silence (not as in Simon & Garfunkel ... well, I guess them too—just not while doing weights).

[Piper]

Damn cursor... showing your age there

good stuff though.

[Speedfreak]

My workout music depends on my mood, but 90% of the time it's similar stuff to what you guys listen to. Static-X, Papa Roach, System of a Down, etc.. I listen to quite a bit of rap as well. Trick Daddy - In da wind, Nappy Roots - Aw Naw, etc..

For some reason, punk stuff doesn't do it for me at ALL in the weight room. Brittany Spears does about as much as Green Day, for me.
