    What music pumps you up?

    Music motivates me in the gym more than anything. Let's hear some good some good songs to workout too.

    Mine are currently:

    Foo Fighters - Best of You (I love it this song)

    Any kind of Korn will get me going...

    System of a Down will work too..


    What else?

    Foo fighters works well...
    Rage against the Machine for cardio sessions :-)

    I was at the gym the other day and they were playing sappy song after sappy song. I was looking around to see if anyone else noticed this and no one seemed to care. Why the hell wants to work out to a bunch of chic songs that are depressing or slow? I almost went and complained lol.

    I completely agree, although I used to do a lot of my baseball workouts at this one place that had the same song on repeat for the whole hour and a half you would be there. Needless to say it got annoying.

    How could I forget Rage Against the Machine?

    I've said it once, and I'll say it again...
    nothing gets me pumped quite like this.

    I highly recommend the soundtrack to anyone who's lacking motivation in the gym.

    Lonestar's fun to listen to in the car, don't think it would work for me in the gym though. I like metal and rap for workouts, although I do get turned off by misogynistic lyrics so I sometimes have to tune some stuff out when they play it at the gym.
    "The female of the species is more deadly than the male."

    My attempts at lifting heavy objects

    Current maxes:

    Squat 145 kg (320 lbs)
    Bench 67.5 kg (149 lbs)
    DL: 142.5 kg (314 lbs)

    ...oh, and I'm a girl.

    i listen to Texas Country. A lot of you probably don't know what that is but we got our own style of music down here. It's a whole lot more rock than that Nashville bull****.

    Other than that I listen to all the bands that sharkall posted. Except you forgot AC/DC.
