Posted: 7/17/2007 5:00:01 PM | So when you just want to go to the gym and toss the machines around like King Kong (say I dunno bad day or something), what goes on the Ipod for inspiration? I have things like metallica and some other metal, I'm going to toss on SOAD's BYOB and some other thrash trash.
When you want to be able to zone out and lift like no tomorrow, what songs or bands are the safe alternative but bring you close to roid rage? Why?
Cheers! | |

I have lots of songs on my ipod for working out.
I use my ipod for everything now. I haven't touched a CD in years, unless it's to download an album onto my ipod (mostly download off the net).
I even stream my music either from the ipod or directly from iTunes onto my stereo.

Posted: 7/22/2007 2:36:49 AM | | Depends on the mood, I lift well with either : heavy metal, 70's disco or techno. 3 totally different types of music, but they do it for me. | |

I've found "Face the Pain" by Stemm, particularly effective. | |

Posted: 7/22/2007 6:15:29 AM | Rammstein's works fairly well, Wollt Ihr das Bett in Flammen Sehen? is a great warmup song, while Links 2-3-4, helps set me into a really stead pace. Although if you really want something to raise your pace then go for Firestarter by the Prodigy! When that comes on my iPod for some reason I start going really fast... The scary part is if I start singing along to it!
And for the real fruitcakes you can fall back to some speed/thrash metal - Dragonforce and the spinal-tap length guitar solos being played at 180+ bpm are not the easiest things to try and work out to! | |

Posted: 7/29/2007 1:12:21 PM | | I use my ipod nearly every workout including running and on the bike trail. I have an eclectic mix of music...right now I'm listening to some of my favorite women singers/bands. Most of the songs are stories about 'girl power'...corny I know, but hey, whatever gets me through it. :-) | |

Posted: 7/29/2007 7:16:02 PM | I like anything that has a fast beat or anything hip-hop...
I found this site "Jog Tunes" that you can find songs for your workout using BPM’s.(beats per minute) and arrange them into your ideal workout playlist.

Posted: 7/30/2007 6:13:27 PM | Mostly metal! Early Metallica, the more energetic Tool songs, Killswitch Engage, Motorhead, Rammstein, Black Sabbath, SOAD (Toxicity), and a little Pink Floyd for afterwards.
