Music while training

[Dr Winston O'Boogie]

For heavy squats my go to song is System of a Down's B.Y.O.B.
Get under the bar right at 2:16 in the song and blast through those reps.

Great band with a lot of excellent workout music. Probably in my top 3 go-to bands in the gym, the others being Iron Maiden and Judas Priest.

[Johnsonville]

Usually Motown stations or Willie Nelson. I hate heavy metal type music and also don’t like to get particularly psyched up lifting, I just like to listen to good shit to pass the time

[Oso Rojo]

... must have a had driving beat. ZZ Top and ...

I was back playing ZZ Top last week in honor of Dusty Hill's passing. I had forgotten about this thread.

[Brodie Butland]

Never been much of a psych-up person, so don’t usually lift to music, yell at the bar, etc. But I have occasionally used music to drown out other noise in commercial or college dorm gyms, or sometimes when I just need to wake up a bit. Also would rock out on the way to the gym when it was 20 min away in a prior life. My go-tos:

Young Dubliners - Foggy Dew
Dropkick Murphys - I’m Shipping Up to Boston; Flanagan’s Ball; State of Massachusetts
Black 47 - The Big Fellah (starting about :47 in)
The Pogues - The Boys from the County Hell
Flogging Molly - Paddy’s Lament
Gaelic Storm - The Samurai Set

I listen to the local jazz station; they play jazz, soul, and R&B late afternoons and early evenings when I work out. I play in a heavy band and love seeing heavy bands live, but working out I don't need that aggression, and especially during my rest periods I find it more meditative.

[Chiaki Nitya]

Exclusively heavy metal or outlaw country.

Usually I don't need music while training, but when there's too many morons in the gym: Atlas Shrugged helps a lot.

[Steve Cox]

I've been offline for a few weeks, being involved in other projects around the house. I have my stereo in my garage gym set to a local station, 104.7 (The Cave), which is 70's and 80's rock, but also the local KC Chiefs station. I can workout to whatever they have on, whether it's music or even the nightly Sports Talk, and sometimes a Chiefs game if I workout at night. My favorites for working out to though are Aerosmith, Journey, Styx, ZZ Top, Led Zeppelin, Scorpions, AC/DC, Def Leppard, and especially Rush (I can't believe nobody's mentioned them yet, so I will). Pretty much anyone from the 70's and 80's rock, but even country when I'm in the mood.
