+ 5 What’s on your Workout Playlist?
So here’s a topic we don’t really touch on too often.
Workout music, and how important it is in helping you have a successful workout.
I don’t know about you guys, but music is very important to me when working out. Music can make a major difference in my workouts. I try to take certain songs that have had an impact on me throughout my life. Some songs are new, some are old, but they all serve their purpose when strategically placed in my play list. I try to create a build that takes me to the next level as every song passes. It also helps me gauge how far along I am in my workout. Certain songs are placed in certain spots because they give me that extra emotional push that I need to prevent me from getting lazy or toning down my workout. God forbid I forget to charge my headphones, and I’m forced to listen to the gym’s music. My whole workout can be effected in a very negative way.
So what’s your favorite workout song?

That is good stuff! But I would save it for after the gym when I'm beat up.
I'm a hip hop head, boom bap raw gritty underground. Not that bubble gum mumble dumb ass bull shit that plagues the radio. Type of hip hop that I describe as punch you in the face music lol.

I know right? Katy Perry has much more inspiring songs to work out to.
Firework... is that your jam?
LOL, Oh man, there's just so many... Queen got my inner gay worked up. Katy get's my inner woman fired up. Tayler gets my outer man frustrated and limping.
I love Firework after watching that movie lol! A must have..
karma is my boyfriend <3
Aww
Similarly, music is a must have when working out. Some days I’ll put one song on repeat, others I’ll make a playlist before I go.
A few staples that’s been in my recent playlists have been-
The Plot In You - Feel Nothing
Crime Mobb - Knuck If You Buck
The Diplomats - Dipset Anthem
Limp Bizkit - Break Stuff
I listen to everything. But only rock/rap get me hype in the gym
THREE DAY'S GRACE!!! I ...... HATE ...... EVERY---
Man isn't it funny how what you are experiencing or going through at the time influences what you are listening to music wise, and how listening to those songs can bring the same feelings back decades later.
Bad break up eh
Lol Cut your heart out with a blunt spoon and make you eat it comes to mind LMFAO To be fair it did taste pretty good with some Peri Mayo.
Damike"Tear away" by Drowning Pool
"Stand Up" Trapt

I listen to Batushka - Панихида (Panihida) from beginning to end during a workout it's THAT good.
But I also listen to Chelsea Grin, Fit For An Autopsy, Signs of the Swarm and Shadow of Intent a lot lately...
Ok, Bro, I’m definitely liking that Batushka

Anything Ministry, Fear-Factory, Coal Chamber, Terrorfakt, Pantera or Tool. Shits gotta get my blood boiling.
Anybody into bluegrass?
I could get into bluegrass while doing cardio.
Look on you tube for green sky bluegrass time. It’s a live version
It's already on my Spotify playlist
They did a good job on that song. Not a lot of people into bluegrass. You probably know Billy strings then
California Sober, Dust in a baggie...
When I lived in New England, I used to go to the Bluegrass festival in Vermont all the time.
I'm Irish. Folk and Bluegrass are in my blood.
I was amazed how well a Pink Floyd tune translated into bluegrass.
If you haven't heard of him yet, check out John Francis Flynn. He is doing amazing things with folk, over here.
DamikeI went to grad school in New Haven. Wish I knew about the festival then.
My first Grateful Dead show was in high gate Vermont
You boys heard the bluegrass rendition of gin and juice ?! Bit of fun!
I haven’t t can you send link?

I think a few people do it, but this one is a bit of fun! You can picture yourself in the crowd belting it out!
Haha loved it
My gym does the playlist, Sirus XM radio. Anything fro System of a Down to 50 cent. All unsensored.
Now you’re talking! Love System of a Down!
Dynasty by brand of sacrifice
The fly and the bee by Darko
Really pushed some PRs with these
DamikeWe have somewhat similar taste. I'm gonna listen to some of your songs listed to see if I want to add any to my list. Thanks!
For my toughest lifts I put on "Dig" by Mudvayne or anything Pantera or Slipknot...Or Celine Dion ha J/K.
Easier exercises I usually put on Chevelle, Disturbed, Breaking Bejamin type stuff.
Dig is a great song. I really like all the other bands you named. About 15 years ago, the singer of Breaking Benjamin showed up at one of our gigs. They were still very new, but I recognized him because they had recently released their first video, Polyamorous. I called him up on stage and he played guitar on the song “the Red”. By Chevelle, because no one in my band new his song. Very cool experience. A few months later, they blew up and the rest of my band felt pretty dumb for not knowing who he was.
I also have Respect and Cemetery Gates on my play list.
DamikeThat's really cool. They def did blow up big. Almost everyone has heard of Breaking Benjamin now.
This isn't as cool of a story but..
Many years ago I was at golds one evening and these 2 skinny guys in street clothes came in. I kinda laughed when I first saw them.(Feel bad about that.) One asked me what I did for arms and we ended up talking a bit about lifting and I asked them about groupies. Turns out it was the guitarist(Simon) from trapt and the drummer was with him. Down to earth guys. That song "head strong" just happened to play on the radio during our workout. Simone made it a point to get me and my buddies names to put on the VIP list for the show. Never thought I'd meet anyone even remotely famous randomly in my small city.
What do you mean? That’s a great story!!
Ok, you can believe me or not but this is completely weird now. The night he played with us was the first night we played the song Headstrong by Trapt. I practiced that song the whole ride to the gig hoping I wouldn’t fuck it up. Definitely not the easiest song to sing. I can’t believe you brought up that song. I haven’t heard it in so long
DamikeLol wow that is weird and I totally believe you. That's awesome. Trapt def had some good songs.
So when Simone was telling us the name of the band he was in, it was hard to hear him over the music in the gym. He kept saying our band is called Trapt and my friend kept asking "did you say Strapped?" He's was like "no" and repeated himself several times until finally saying, "do you hear this song? That's us." Headstrong just happened to be playing. My friend was like holy shit lol.
Wow, that must have been really cool
WoW Trapt - I was really into those guys years back!!
