For those of you that lift weights, what songs do you listen to if you wear a personal music device of some kind? I'm bored with my MP3 player's tunes, time for a new playlist. No rap allowed :mellow:

Usually floorfillers because it sends good enzymes (Spelling?) through your body making yuou happy so you enjoy working out:-

Example of one of the albums.

I think that it varies between people what they like to listen to when working out, but floorfillers usually do it for me :mellow:

Rap is worthless... maybe that techno rap junk for the cardio stuff is ok (That seems to be what they keep playing) but it doesn't get the job when deadlifting 350lbs :mellow:

That's exactly why I bring my own tunes.

Sorry for the late correction, but it's 'endorphins'. Don't mean to be pedantic, I just don't wanna see half of P2Ls younger community fail their GCSE biology ;)

As for tuneage, I like to go for something that matches the speed of my workout and gets the adrenaline pumping aswell - The Prodigy usually satiates my musical lusts.

No RAP? wow man, rap gets me pumped up like crazy.

well, have you heard of kos? its hip-hop. go to myspace.com/kos and listen to like 3 of their songs they have there. if you like it, buy the album / download w/e.

do you like techno style typed music? try scooter. dont forget rammstein, hard metal rockish, so that will get you pumped up as well.

try getting roni size, or pendulum, thats mostly umm "industrial" or was it drum and bass. not sure, i think its drum and bass.

and lets see, do you like red hot chili peppers? they are good too. i love "tell me baby" :D.

and umm, the new weird al album, lynwood, thats really funny, and cool, try listening to that.

maroon 5 isnt that bad either. oh btw, daft punks latest album is okay as well, so you might like that.


i know i just rambled some random artists at you, but those are just 5% of what i have on my mp3 player. if you want more, just ask.

woah, deadlifting? well its not bad for you considering your like over 28 years old? (im assuming :D ). deadlifting is really bad for you at a young age, especially below 18. too much stress on the body. but anyways, were talking about music, not lifting weights! ^_^



staff member, could you please merge my 2 posts together? :D THANKS. MUCH LOVE!!!!! <3

I've been doing deadlifts since I was 16... there's nothing wrong with it if you keep perfect form and use a weight that doesn't make you break form. It's one of the critical 4 compound exercises for anyone looking to put on poundage and power. You can also wear a belt like I do for stability.

We can talk about weight lifting if you like ^_^

OH PLEASE talk about weight lifiting. I could use some tips for some PT.

Anyhow, I listen to my country when I weight lift. Good old country <3

USSR national anthem? wtf? :D ahhhhh, commie music is it? tsk.

anyways, i usually listen to some happy hardcore or just random dance tunes when im in the gym... really gets me phsyced up. i enjoy stuff like prodigy and scooter that were mentioned before as well, any thing fast with a good beat (and like you - not feking rap!!!) and im alright.

for some reason there was a celine dion tape on when i went in the gym last night ^_^ so i had a little sing along while doing my weights <3
