grz Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Maybe this has already been posted. If so, can someone please point me to the thread?If not, what do you all listen to during your workouts that really pump you up? I'd love to see what everyone listens to. Even if it's not the same genres, maybe we can all get a few ideas we'd never otherwise think about.I'll start with some of my heavy rotation - This is in no particular order though I firmly believe order matters. I'm still trying to perfect what goes in and where.Freedom; Rage Against the Machine - This always brings me back to my "fight the man" days in college. It always pumps me up. Livin' on a Prayer; Bon Jovi - It's the key change that gets me Right Here Right Now; Fatboy Slim - Just a cool intense song that helps me at the end of a workoutKickstart My Heart; Motley Crue - A great workout openerInterlude; Attack Attack! - Some love to my Alma Mater UNISabotage; Beastie Boys - Rest in Peace MCATwo Weeks; All That Remains - A good hard rock song - if you're into that sort of thingCome Together; Primal Scream - Another good "closer"Man in the Mirror; Michael Jackson - What can I say? I'm a sucker for key changes, and this song has one of the bestWell that's a sampling of my stuff. What are everyone else's faves?

tekilla Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Kickstart My Heart; Motley Crue - A great workout openerOh hell yes!!!!For me:Propellerheads - Breezeblock 2001 mix. Dunno why, but it gets me moving every time. Reminds me of good times I can't find a link to the mix, but here's the tracklist. Nick Thayer always gets me jumping too.If i'm feeling like a more intense/agressive workout, i'll lean towards some Andy C Nightlife 1 or some . I guess I like working out to tunes/mixes I know well, rather than new ones. It helps me get in the zone.

Bunk Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I'm not big on mixes. If I am lifting it's usually a full album. Frequents are Queens of The Stone Age- QotSA and Songs for the Deaf, White Stripes - De Stijl, Gza- Liquid Swords, Raekwon- Only Built for Cuban linx and Outkast- Aquemini. If I'm riding my bike it's a random Phish or Grateful Dead concert. Link to comment

NukeTheUnicorns Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Anything that's fast and hard rock-y or metal-y. Coheed and Cambria, Slayer, Kalmah, Metallica, Mastodon, Powerglove, and Pantera are among my favorites.Anything from Dragon Ball Z gets me going, too. Makes me think Goku and Vegeta's training.Also, this guy. Valar Morghulis Link to comment
mahchoo Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I think I'm an oddball here - but I actually listen to podcasts a lot of the time I'm working out.Critical Hit / Major Spoilers is usually what's on when I'm jogging (and will be on once I hit the gym). I'm on Twitter! Link to comment

allnightgrocery Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 As of late I've been listening to Rage Against the Machine, Pantera, and Die Antwoord but I need to go back and make some proper mixes. This thread is fantastic for finding new tunes, BTW. Combichrist and Angelspit will go nicely in my collection. My Current Challenge Link to comment
concretecavewoman Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Sometimes, when I'm running, I listen to the Robb Wolf podcast so I can hear him talk about how terrible long-distance running is.Here's a representative sample...

--- Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I haven't tested my own mix yet, but I did put a mix together from most of the songs that I find deeply stirring, so I'm confident in my mix's motivational capacity. Now, with that disclaimer, a sampling of mine is the following:Wagner: Ride of the Valkyries (from The Ring Trilogy)Carmina Burana: O Fortuna!Ok Go: Invincible & Get Over ItThomas Bergerson: Age of Gods, Rada, Sonera, Starvation, Ocean Princess (among others)Albannach: Unleash the Albannach, Burlin, & ClaymoresFlorence + The Machine: Shake It Out; No Light, No LightGorillaz: Feel Good Inc., All Alone, White LightRise Against: Help is On the WayThe Cruxshadows: Winter Born (This Sacrifice)That's some of them.

Good Row G Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Guilty pleasure that always makes me work harder - anything by Sean Paul. And he makes me smile. Unintentionally of course.Also love some Franz Ferdinand. Haven't tried Joy Formidable for working out much, but they might be just right! Once and future ranger. Link to comment
EightDigit Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I have two playlists, one for workouts and another for running. My workout playlist is more intense and helps me remain "present"-Rollins Band, Fugazi, Faith No More, Metallica, Dropkick Murphys, Rage Against the Machine, etcMy running playlist is all about maintaining a steady tempo and helps "take me elsewhere" while I run-Aesop Rock, Doomtree, MC Chris, Eyedea & Abilities, Dilated Peoples EightDigit - Level 1 Dwarven RangerSTR: 3 | DEX : 3 | STA : 3 | CON : 2 | WIS : 2 | CHA : 2Gardens are not made by singing "Oh, how beautiful," and sitting in the shade.-Rudyard KiplingBattleLog | G+ Account Link to comment

Flatsnap Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Like some other posters I have different music for running and for lifting.For running I like to listen to hiphop, listening to lyrics helps me keep me from getting bored. Current mix:Eminem - 'Til I CollapseDr. Dre - I Need A DoctorTupac - Can't C MeTupac - Hit 'Em UpNas - Take It In BloodNas - NY State Of MindN.W.A. - Always Into Somethin'Tech N9ne - Like YeahTech N9ne - Absolute PowerIce Cube - Pushin' WeightIce Cube - Go To ChurchFor lifting, it's all about metal and grindcore. I tend to just listen to whole albums rather than making playlists. Most often I like to use:Deicide - Once Upon The CrossMorbid Angel - Altars Of MadnessLeng T'che - Death By A Thousand CutsThe Day Everything Became Nothing - Invention:DestructionOrigin - AntithesisLast Days Of Humanity - Putrefaction In ProgressInsect Warfare - World ExterminationPig Destroyer - Prowler In The YardGrave - Into The GraveDevourment - Molesting The DecapitatedBasically anything that's really really fast and/or has big dumb slam breakdowns, preferably both.
