What music do you listen to when you lift?

[arian11]

It seems like everyone at the gym these days has headphones on listening to music and I always wonder what they are listening to? I assume the weaklings are listening to Lady Gaga while the big strong dudes are listening to Metallica and other metal bands.

So what do you listen to when you want to get pumped for a max out or big set?

I listen to bands like Metallica, Dream Theater, Haste the Day, Unearth, All That Remains, Darkest Hour, Our Last Night, and other metal/hardcore bands.

My gym plays 80's music most of the time lol. But when I'm hitting it hard I don't hear anything around me.

I don't listen to music. I just lift heavy things.

[Romanred]

Rap with hard beats, or a tough voice (DMX, Busta Rhymes, Waka Flocka ex....) Or hard rock. No scremo though.

I really think there needs to be a point where a mod just makes one stickied music thread, so we can avoid the same threads over and over and over and over and over.

I try to have a good mix and base my workout on the song that comes up. Plenty to choose from of various types. When I bench/curl, I like to have a nice Rap bassline type beat. If I'm doing dips I like something smooth like a John Mayer. Fortunately, I have a Planet Fitness so when I am on the elliptical, I can listen to ESPN or the History Channel while I workout.

Basically, I try to listen to something intense for intense parts of my workout and smooth beats for things I try to pace myself with.

I like a lot of obscenities being yelled into my ear while lifting.

Eminem
Tupac
Youngbloodz (I dare you to listen to Presidential and not set a PR).
Lil Jon
UGK
Etc

[michael_xyz]

No metal really. Mainly rap/hip hop.

Also, if I watch a motivating video and the music is decent I'll listen to it and then also remember the video so double-whammy of motivation. Bam!

Heh nice. Music can help you get pumped up and lift heavier though.

I really think there needs to be a point where a mod just makes one stickied music thread, so we can avoid the same threads over and over and over and over and over.

You could just ignore the thread if it bothers you so much. I'm not going back through pages of troll posts looking for a thread about what music everyone listens to.

[BombDonald]

Mostly Lady Gaga. A lot of the bigger/stronger guys at my gym listen to Metallica though.
