What is your favorite music playlist for working out? Maybe a favorite song, or album?

Let's hear it! what gets you pumped?

That's a really good question. I like explosive stuff but not too heavy.

I actually like Eminem or other cynical rappers, usually during rest breaks...

There's a song by Linkin Park - One Step Closer which is a great BOOM song in the beginning. I basically get my weights ready, start the song, wait until it starts and BOOM pump out the reps and repeat the same thing with the same song.

Death metal is ok for me, but sometimes it's just too annoying and not really motivating.

I definitely think Rage Against the Machine works in the gym.

Well, for cardio anything that has good beat. Preferably a beat to keep me on running. Seriously I can't do cardio without music!!!

For weight training I like heavy sounds that help release adrenaline and motivate me. Heavy metal,hard rock,hardtrance,electonic(general),somtimes hip-hop and anything drives me into the squat rack!

I couldn't agree with you more. Cardio is boring as hell without music, at least on machines. I suppose playing BBall, soccer, etc. might be different.

It's all about finding the bands with good breakdowns or rythm. Too much screeching is mentally exhausting while you're lifting, but there's nothing better than having a sick breakdown explode when you're 6 reps into deadlifts
