Bayoubrew Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 What music do you listen to during a work out. For me its batman dark knight and Markham city. Also metal gear solid and God of war and skyrim. Oh and of course guile and ryus stage music. I know it sounds cheesy but to me there's nothing like finishing a wod and having the dark knight come on. Link to comment

Toph821 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 I generally listen to really strange music while I work out. I like the post-hardcore, screaming music that seems to keep me motivated. When I run, I always listen to a song called "End of the World Party," sometimes more than once. Link to comment
OuterSpaceMan Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Initially, when I first started working out, I'd listen to pop & rap-- whatever junk was at the top of the billboards. Which worked fine; the heavy amount of bass and upbeat-ness sort of pumped me up. haha. Eventually, though, I found that I liked listening to dubstep, techno and trance while working out more. Because your mind is not confined to the lyrics in the song (like it is with pop), just the crazy beat, I find it allows your thoughts to wander more. Which, at least for me, helps to get through the workout.If you want an example, I love this one (and if you own[ed] an N64, I'm sure you will too haha): "Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you." -Jean-Paul Sartre Link to comment
Caution Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 I listen to a bunch of random stuff but it all pumps me up. Most of it is Nu Metal but I also throw in a bunch of video game remixes from http://ocremix.org/ , rock, some rap and other miscellaneous stuff. Anything that keeps me going to give that last rep my all. My Current Challenge Link to comment

Mad Rocker Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Podcasts can be good for cardio.But other than that, metal. Has to be metal. Machine Head, Metallica, Megadeth, Black Label Society, Black Stone Cherry, Avenged Sevenfold and Ozzy are on my current playlist. I rarely listen to metal at any other time now, it's like my treat for working out. http://jackblog.orgJack Blog | The Blog of Jack Link to comment
Warwolf Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 When I wrestled in High School, I'd listen to nothing but Disturbed, Rage Against the Machine, Linkin Park, and Slipknot for like 3 months at a time. I just recently got into The Glitch Mob (they do the music on GoPro commercials). They're kinda crunchy electronic music with full, drum-heavy, driving rhythms. I like to get in a tribal warrior kind of mindset when I work out, and they sample a lot of taiko drums so it gets me in the zone. I mellowed out a bit since high school (now that I'm not working out to beat people up) but it's either Glitch Mob, or metal \m/ The body is just a vehicle for the soul...I wanna build a racecar!

Animalben Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Angry, agressive, deep stomach churning music while lifting heavy heavy shit.Upbeat, high tempo, uplifting for high intensity cardioPodcasts for long/low tempo style cardioAlso for any "classes" I find something authentic helps you get in the mood, for instance hearing Thai music in a Muay Thai class is awesome Link to comment
Thilde Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 A lot of different things. Deadmau5 for when I want some of something gritty (without lyrics though...I don't like lyrics with that style of music). Muse's "Uprising" is a song that gets me through some tough workout moments...helps to envision every person who ever said my workout/diet is stupid or pointless or "not supported by conventional wisdom" and let the bass roll over me. Good for holding a plank. Or, mixes of things like Michael Jackson, K'Naan, Will Smith, Crash Test Dummies, the Cranberries, Mick Jagger, etc. We have this awesome program called MusicIP Mixer...it lets you pick a track and then "mix" a playlist of songs that are very similar. I love that it lets me get songs with similar tempo and beat. My two favorite mixes are based on K'Naan songs: "Bang Bang (She Shot Me)" and "T.I.A."This week I did my longest plank ever (72secs) followed immediately by 80 jacks to MJ's "Thriller." Some songs just really push you past where you think your limit is. Link to comment
