doc_apoo Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 I know, it seems sacrilige to even consider anything that doesn't go 140 bpm, but I don't roll like that. I find myself distracted and annoyed when I'm listening to fast or "pump-up" music when I'm lifting. I like me some Van Morrison radio when I'm slamming irons. Also been enjoying some Hozier radio. Anyone else? Am I all alone in a world of trip-hop flex funk? 1 Quote In vino veritas, in aqua sanitas.

smashmp Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 I've been listening to Sufjan Stevens during my lifts. It seems so counterproductive but damn is it soothing. I feel a lot less rushed.

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Rooks Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 I'm finding that it's hard to "rock out" for a full workout. My main jams have been getting more melodic and I'll maybe put the heavy songs on for the heaviest set of the day. Quote Link to comment
doc_apoo Posted June 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 All podcasts, all day. I listen to the roosterteeth podcast, but then I laugh and worry about dropping weights on my face.

Harbard Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 I must be a straight-up dork, because I usually listen to podcasts and audiobooks about history. Quote Introduction | Workout Log | First Challenge | Current Challenge Link to comment

Oh Beep Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 This week I've been listening to Marvin Gaye. I mostly listen to podcasts too. A guilty pleasure is Meghan Trainors Title album - not my usual music choice, but it seems to help Quote Link to comment

El Exorcisto Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 I've been listening to Rehab a lot when I train lately. Hardly Taylor Swift, but it's a lot softer than the usual Stone Sour or Anti-Flag.

CaptainMurasa Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 I'm a complete nerd because I often listen to video game soundtracks or remixes when I workout. I had the soundtrack of Assassin's Creed 3 running through my phones as I rode through the streets once. I'm an obvious Touhou fan, so I currently running Demetori's tracks as I lift: ^ This gets me going when I get to deadlifts!

Bullroarer Took Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Most of the time I don't listen to music anymore, but every once in awhile I will. It's hard to beat "Becoming" by Pantera for squats and deads. 1 Quote "For us, there is no spring. Just the wind that smells fresh before the storm." Just remember that Scooty Puff jr sucks!
