Trewest Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Jesus beans. I did it. Did the treadmill bear crawl. But I guess I never pushed record on my phone so NO PROOF YET. Ugh. Dammit, guess I'll just have to do more. Also, only comment made to me during it was: doesn't that hurt your arms? 3 "What doesn't kill me better start running", level 7 Furyan Assassin My Journey From Fat to Fit: 1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|CURRENT A proud member of the Champion House; Targaryen (Assassin's mini), Hufflepuff bravery is forgetting to be afraid because the thing is so important that the risk doesn't even matter (Assassin's mini) , Hellfire Club represent!

Cat in the rack Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Anyone ever play the gym game where you do whatever you're doing to the rhythm of whatever music comes on in your headphones? Obviously I wouldn't recommend it during heavy low rep sets, but I often find myself doing it during warm ups or stretching or high rep stuff. For instance today I ended up doing jumping jacks to Darude Sandstorm, and bicep curls to Let It Go. 3 Follow me on snapchat or instagram @ catintherackSquat: 115kgBench: 77.5kgDeadlift: 130kgTotal: 322.5kgWeight: 68kg Link to comment
insanity Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 jumping jacks to Darude Sandstorm.Did you fly? I haven't done the rhythm thing, but I have done deadlifts to "Let it Go", and squats to "Party in the USA". I workout along side a class run by a lady, and she brings in some interesting music, though Party in the USA was on some guys playlist.

Cat in the rack Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 I didn't manage flight this time, maybe if I get my lats bigger it'll work next time Party in the USA is definitely a workout song I like, I need to get it on my gym playlist at some point.

Dradis Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Ok, this is the weirdest thing i've seen at they gym so far.... Guy is absolutely busting a gut on the rowing machine. Then, out of nowhere shouts "BANG" at the top of his voice. Literally the whole free weights area and half the treadmillists turn to find out what is going on.About 20s later...... "BANG"About a minute later..... "BANG" Did it about 5 times. I couldn't see a pattern. He looked like he might die when he finished though so good effort. 3 Current challenge: http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/70839-bendy-dradis-stands-up-proper/ Link to comment

Obviously I wouldn't recommend it during heavy low rep sets, but I often find myself doing it during warm ups or stretching or high rep stuff. For instance today I ended up doing jumping jacks to Darude Sandstorm, and bicep curls to Let It Go. I want to see the LIG curls. Most 4-8 year old little girls I know have the exact choreography of that scene memorized so I'm imagining them curling their ways through the icy blast. 2 2016 goals: Hit goal weight.

Cat in the rack Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 It probably sounds more interesting to look at than it actually was, it wasn't difficult to keep up with the tune with alternating arm curls. Though it would've been more fun if I hadn't withheld on singing aloud.

Metallica, anyone? Guns & Roses? Black Sabboth? No, just me? All of the above. Plus: All That Remains; In This Moment; Killswitch Engage; In Flames; Led Zeppelin; Deep Purple; Halestorm; and pretty much anything with double-bass drumming. I challenge anyone to follow the double-bass during their workout. Depending on the band, you might die by the second song. 3 "Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back." - Captain Malcolm Reynolds Current Challenge Also, I Agree With Tank™ Link to comment

Metallica, anyone? Guns & Roses? Black Sabboth? No, just me?I like some variety, if I listen to just fast tempo pop or just more rock-style music the consistency of it can bore me. I like having some little mix playing for one set, and then by the next set my chemical romance, or one set of eye of the tiger followed by a set with queen. Usually high rep stuff I prefer pop and heavier low rep stuff I prefer rock.
