Lifting/Workout Music

[CQB]

The pedestrian beat is pretty good for a moderately paced run.

Monster 2.0 is one of my favorite bike songs lately. It has a good cadence to it.

While lifting I typically do the same as most of you with the heavier rock: Metallica, Bullet for my Valentine, Atreyu, A Day To Remember, etc. But if running, I try to go for podcasts. Takes my mind off the road, keeps the mental juices flowing and I find that if I run to music, it messes up my pace. I sync my footsteps to the beat so unless Im listening to something with a very high BPM, I run too slow.

I realized that I had left a huge part of my lifting playlist off by forgetting to mention Throwdown. Great band.

A different perspective you may consider from my recent experience:

I had kept an extensive playlist ranging from the golden ages of rock to classical (like actual Mozart), back to 90s rap and over to EDM. Pop/Chic favorites may or may not have held up some of my storage space. I blame that bit on deployments: our Ops Chief & Ops O mandated Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez, Kesha and Miley Cyrus be played full-throttle during product development (that shit became an actual policy).

Returning to my point, I had noticed what anyone would notice playing music - it aided my workouts. My body would respond (or my pace) and it was all good until I realized how loud I was blasting that shit into my head and - without music - there was a dip in performance or motivation to lift/run/whatever.

I'm weird as fuck and I'll always be weird as fuck, so like the weird fuck that I am of course I dropped Spotify, Pandora, and all music right off of my media straight up bi-polar-bear style once it all resonated with me mentally. It took a while to get acclimated afterward; I'm lifting well, I'm not deafening myself and my morning runs are very peaceful.

Just food for thought, I'm not donating my birthday on Facebook to a charity that supports banning music or anything - bet your ass I still jam out to satellite radio in the car even though that Zyppah prick is more annoying than ever.

- One Eighty Seven
- Thuggin
- BFK
- Amnesia
- Knicks

Maxo:
- Beyonce Interlude
- Hobbies

Mike and Mike on ESPN radio in the garage at home or work. When on the road the earbuds go in and I hit shuffle. Then it's anything from Blood for Blood to Merle Haggard. I could work out in silence if it weren't for the tinnitus.

I use to listen to mike and mike, do you like the Dan Patrick show at all?

Found this gem for all you heavy pipe hitters.......
