Fav. Music When Working Out

reygul8 Posts: 1 Joined: 2003/01/08	2003/02/19, 04:20 PM I haven't posted anything yet, and I am really into listening to music when I work out. I'm sure that a good number of you have portable MP3's or CD players. Thought it would be fun to get people to post their top three albums to listen to when working out. Music is one of the best supplements I know of when working out. By the way I am doing the 12 week muscle mass building program provided on this site and it is working out great. So here are my favs: 1) Led Zeppelin II. Jimmy Page's guitar makes me workout twice as hard. Nothing like some classic rock to get you going. Usually makes the rotation at least once a week. 2) Shawn Lane: Tri Tone Fascination. This guy can play guitar. Puts guys like Satriani and Steve Vai to shame. 3) Minor Threat: Singles Collection. As far as punk music goes, these guys played some of the fastest, angriest combinations of two and three chords ever. Always gets me pumped to listen to this. So, what do you listen too?

Good stuff, thinking about what I have on my MP3 player makes me want to run for the gym right now, only a few more minutes until I can cut out of here.

sypress Posts: 192 Joined: 2003/04/13	2003/04/20, 12:48 PM I like anything heavy! Metallica Static X Linkin Park Limp Biscuit Rob Zombie and the list goes on... The odd time I'll through in some old dance songs or 80's just to mix it up a little, but heavy metal is really what gets me going! And its so true for me if the song slows down i slow down so i try to keep it fast and heavy at all points unless im doing my cooldown and stretching
dahayz Posts: 794 Joined: 2002/05/08	2003/04/20, 02:59 PM If you want to listen to some REAL hard, heavy music, then nothing beats Slayer, Sepultura's older music, Soulfly, Hatebreed or Arch Enemy. This is the best music to get pumped up to and to listen to during a workout. I to am a metal fan at heart.

laramertz Posts: 34 Joined: 2003/03/31	2003/04/29, 04:32 PM This may sound lame but I start every workout listening to Van Halen - Right Now: Don't wanna wait til tomorrow, Why put it off another day? One more walk through problems, Built up, and stand in our way ,ah One step ahead, one step behind me Now you gotta run to get even Make future plans, don't dream about yesterday, hey C'mon turn, turn this thing around Right now, hey It's your tomorrow Right now, C'mon,it's everything Right now, Catch a magic moment, do it Right here and now It means everything........... It's very inspiration for me, I guess it just reminds me of the goals I have set for myself and that I'm not going get there by putting it off. Then it's usually off to more Van Halen, Sheryl Crow, Indigo Girls, Hole, Metallica, Pink, Eminem, Kid Rock, I'm all over the board...
Stormcrow Posts: 77 Joined: 2003/02/22	2003/04/30, 01:33 PM In the last 8 weeks or so in my workouts I've graduated to Tool, Godhead, Disturbed, Slipknot, Mudvayne, System of a Down, Stone Sour, Fuel, Pantera. I used to hate it. Now I can't work out without it. Nickelback-type stuff doesn't do it anymore. Gotta plug into the primeval!

Ogun Posts: 559 Joined: 2002/08/11	2003/04/30, 11:18 PM I'm angry as hell and I want to kill, so the songs that help me walk into the gym and make the nautilus machines scurry into a corner and the freeweights play dead are: Limp Bizkit--Rollin, Faith (A fine-tuned, eloquent murder of the George Michael original, truly beautiful and electric), Break Stuff Outkast, Snoop Dogg and Tupac--Rosa Parks Remix After those few, if I'm not busy picking up whatever I broke, there's these: Xecutioners w/Linkin Park--It's Going Down DMX--My Niggas (Any Given Sunday Soundtrack) Rage Against the Machine--Killing in the Name of, Sleep Now in the Fire, Guerilla Radio, Testify To calm down there is a sweet mix out now with Dave Mathews and DMX-- Crash, also Gladiator Theme Music from the movie and some more laid back Tupac stuff Eminem is ok, but he lost my respect when he started trying harder to rhyme than to make any sense...Shakespeare would be irascible if woken to see such shame :)) -------------- --There are no versions of the truth.-- Jeff Goldblum, Jurassic Park II
