What do you listen to while lifting?

[JungleBoots]

For me, there are many days I want to just listen to death metal or old school favorites like KMFDM and Skinny Puppy....sometimes though, Im not in the mood and have talk radio - be it the local news station, Coast to Coast or InfoWars - how about you guys?

Whatever is on in the gym, I don't like training with headphones on so that rules out my own selection.

When running I will normally opt for random music normally rock from the 80's

[NevaQuits]

Metallica, Megadeth, Sepultura, Pantera, Danzig, Moonspell, Anthrax, Type O Negative, Misfits, AC\DC, Lacuna Coil, and various others for me

According to i_d , the sound of a washing machine breaking

If I had a say it would be hip hop all day, but I listen to whatever the gym is playing and sometimes it is f'cking commercials because they play the motherf'cking radio all the damn f'cking time!!

I tried wearing ear buds but that sh!t just gets in my f'cking way so I am stuck listening to what they are playing.

Sometimes they throw on some hip hop from a CD I guess and then I get riled up and my workouts get better!!

[DCSpartan]

skinny puppy FTW.

[crupiea]

I like arena type stuff. Led Zep, sabbath that type.

Also love listening to blues and gospel while lifting. just motivating for some reason.

[DuracellBunny]

The sounds of women swooning and men crying

[36912]

Heavy metal mainly when I am lifting.

[MrNismo]

Pandora Radio station built around Guns N Roses, AC/DC, Pantera and Skid Row. Every so often it throws in something like Journey, which although I don't mind it I have no idea how that is in the same genre LOL.

To those saying they don't like headphones I found these recently and they are awesome. No wires to get in the way at all and they don't fall off.

[JerryB]

Jazz radio stations from the internet streamed in on the computer in my garage workout area.

[MissHolly]

I like a variety of music, but when I'm in my garage gym I like to blast rap and hip hop. I keep thinking the neighbors behind us might come banging on my door one day, but thankfully not yet

[7Seconds]

I pick one song and listen to it throughout the whole workout. I seem to better focus on what am I trying to do this way. The song is usually metal, punk, hardcore; fast and screaming are usually good. On occasion the song just doesn't work for some reason and I have to change it mid workout. Today's song was this



Yesterday was this

[steffo99]

DnB , house, and hip hop.

[Smelly bull]

Wham, Justin Beiber, etc. that **** gets me into an anabolic rage and I slay those b!tch weights!

[smblkolds]

Deep Purple, Priest, Maiden, Megadeth, Saxon, etc. Older school metal. But my 6 year old likes to put the Bee Gees on when he joins me.
I will school him.

Awesome! I have been using the Kivio ones that go behind the head and love them....didn't see these that go inside the ear! Next pair! Thanks!

[tinainthegym]

Loud rock and even some good pop music here and there. Has to be a jammin' song or next button gets pushed! Even on my workout playlist, I skip some when they aren't right for the exercise. Legs usually require heavy metal - LOL!

I listen to everything from rap to bluegrass to The Who to Gordon Lightfoot. I guess it just depends on the day. My leg workout usually starts with something peppy for squats (Will I Am, Britney Spears, etc.). By the time I hit the leg press, Metallica has taken over. By the time I leave the gym, it's the theme song from Gladiator (no joke).

I'm surprised how many guys don't use headphones. The first time I used them, I kind of felt like I was underwater. I got used to them real quick, though. They help eliminate a level of distraction and are a necessity for staying focused.

[Korr]

Mainly death metal, brutal, or tech death.

I can't listen to slower music while lifting.

Are they pretty durable? I was looking at these or those green Plantronics.

A wide variety of music but mainly trance and 'doof doof'.

[IronCharles]

What do you listen to while lifting?

Music is too distracting to me, I like listening to it too much. I'll start thinking about music, instead of concentrating on lifting. It doesn't make me work any harder, either. So I just try to tune out whatever's playing in the background and stay focused.

[scullin]

I stream Pandora through speakers (workout at home). So usually these Pandora stations - Black Sabbath, Black Label Society, Megadeth, Heavy Metal, Pantera, Down, Stoner Metal, Classic Rock, AC/DC.
