The Workout Music Thread

[USMuscle9403]

OK guys just thought I'd ask what some of your favorite groups/songs are to workout/pump up to! I've got a good many workout music CDs but damnit I need some new stuff. I thought this would be helpful to others too. If you don't listen to some good pump up music before you lift, I HIGHLY recommend it. Anyways, here are some of my own recommendations...

Disturbed - basically anything by them
Drowning Pool - Bodies *of course*
Seether - Gasoline
*some* Incubus - A certain shade of green, Vitamin, Pistola, etc
System Of A Down - Most of their stuff
Trapt - Hollow Man, Headstrong, etc etc
Taproot - Poem, some others...
Damnit, I can't remember the rest...

Ok I don't listen to a whole lot of rap but I do listen to a little because it can be some good pump up music...

Lil Jon & The Eastside Boys - ANYTHING off the Kings of Crunk album.
Yung Wun ft. DMX - Tear it Up *this one seriously gets me amped*
Ludacris - Anything
Petey Pablo - Basically anything
BIG, 50 Cent, PDiddy, Busta Rhymes - Victory *one of my favorites*

Uhm...damn, that's about it for me...

[The Munster]

I like everything you listed but you forgot one band.

Metallica.

St. Anger especially. All their stuff is good, but St. Anger is a total rage vent. Good stuff.

My big 3 are Metallica, Disturbed, and Godsmack...sure to get you pumped. Close runner ups are White Zombie/Rob Zombie, old Sepultura, Pantera, Black Label Society, Fear Factory, and Damage Plan. I've got plenty more, but those are right off the top of my head.

[James]

Mudvayne - dig... my all time favorite for big lifts.

ummmmm
slipknot - wait and bleed
system of a down - most everything
rob zombie - super beast, dragula, living dead girl
linkin park - all of it
nonpoint - truth

shinedown - fly from the inside
limp bizkit - break stuff, and some others
james taylor - carolina on my mind

haha kidding about the last one, not a bad song though.

all I can think of right now, the truth is though I listen to so much music when i have to think of specific songs I can't do it. I have like 4000 mp3's... i hate trying to decide what to listen too.

[tpc]

Slipknot!!

i have got to agree with you on this one. slipknot has taken it to new levels with there latest cd.

some other stuff on the cd changer:
slipknot
kill switch ingage
hate breed
mudvayne
misfits, samhain, danzig (i just started listening to some of glenn's work again, damn i was listening to the misfits when i was 6 grade, fiend club for life.)
tool (absolute favorite)
flogging molly
black flag, rollins band (another one from years back)
slayer
chevelle
pantera
stone sour

i could go on and on, but these are the ones i have been listening too lately. i am a true metal head at heart, though i hide it well. i like any music where the guy singing is very unhappy with his family and/or life, lol. is there anything better than teen angst...


:rocker:

[jaywooly]

The cranberries are great. Ace of Bass always gets me going. Anything Bolton is what I call music. Newer stuff like Jessica Simpson is great. Got to love Mandy Moore too. Who doesn't love Celeine Dion?

As far as country goes, dont get me started. Kenny Chesney, Brooks and Dunn and Toby are my favorite male singers. Females, Shania Twain and Julie Roberts are the way to go. Can't forget the oldies like Kenny Rogers or Conway Twitty and Patsy Cline.

[loftgroover]

i like to listen to a bit bruce springsteen,if not i like hardcore/gabba not the rotterdamn stuff though,stuff from newcastle and new york mainly

[boffo234]

Leftover Crack - anything
Choking Victim - anything
Lil Flip - most anything
Bonecrusher - I ain't ever scared, and Outside The Club
Lil John and Young Gunz - Damn
Union Underground - Turn Me On Mr. Deadman, and SOuth Texas Deathride
Pantera - Walk
Misfits - Last Caress and Hybrid Moments
Casualties - Fuck You All
Muse - Muscle Museum, and Newborn

Most of these songs get me so physched I get goosebumps when waiting inbetween sets. That usually makes for a pretty damn good workset on my part.

[Gollum]

I like all the usual heavy stuff. There are a few stand out songs that I listen to very often.

Hatebreed: "I Will Be Heard"

Misfits: "Last Caress" Fiend Club for life, TPC!

Sepultura: " Inner Self"

Manowar: "Heart of Steel" (Yeah, I like Manowar. Cheesy or not I love that sword and sorcery shit)

Atreyu: "Lip Gloss and Black"

This is probably my favorite workout song at the moment. Forget about the title, I dont know what the hell that means either. Atreyu is a strange band. People call them emocore. They are heavy with melodic moments. Check out the lyrics and then check out the band if you're into this kinda stuff.

If I gave you pretty enough words,
could you paint a picture of us that works?
An emphasis on function, rather than design.
Aren't you tired cause I would carry you, on broken back and blown out knees, I have been where you are for awhile ...
Aren't you tired of being weak?
Such rage that you could scream, all the stars right out of the sky?
And, destroy the prettiest starry night, every evening that I die.
I am exhumed, just a little less human, and a lot more bitter and cold.
I am exhumed, just a little less human, and a lot more bitter and cold.
I am exhumed, just a little less human, and a lot more bitter and cold.
I am exhumed, just a little less human, and so much more.
After all these images of pain,
have cut right through you,
I will kiss every scar,
I'm with you, you're not alone ...
Then I'll show you that place, in my chest where my heart, still tries to beat, it still tries to beat.
Aren't you tired of being weak?
Such rage that you could scream, all the stars right out of the sky?
And, destroy the prettiest starry night, every evening that I die.

This song means a lot to me. I've been training basically my whole life except for a three year lay off due to all kinds of fucked up shit. That line "Aren't you tired of being weak?" really hits home with me. God, was I. And returning to the iron is like being exhumed, living again. Just a little less human thanks to DC. And a hell of a lot more bitter thanks to "Her". Nuff said.
