The Ultimate Weight Lifting/Workout Music
 

Hey we're all big workout guys and we all know it helps to listen to some fast music while you lift....well lets try to make the ultimate weight lifting music cd!

Post your suggestions for songs!

here are mine

1. Eye of the Tiger - Survivor (A must)
2. The Heretic Anthem - Slipknot
3. Enter the Sandman - Metallica
4. Sad But True - Metallica
5. Dragula - Rob Zombie


I dont know i cant think of any music those were just off the top of my head. Post what you think should make the list!

the kick ass songs from karate kid, and other anthems from 80's movies... footloose has some, along with other movies where a kid takes on some obsticle and has a montage showing them train or whatever.

i find those to be inspiring for exercise.

and punk/80's.

Immigrant Song - Led Zeppelin
Breaking the Law - Judas Priest (but this one reminds me of the video and makes me laugh)
Iron Maiden has a lot of fast, energetic songs.

I don't listen to music while I weightlift/workout so I'm really not much help. Good luck, though.

just a couple more from memory

Disturbed - dropping plates
Grade 8 - brick by brick

I agree with Rudel73. I can't stress how important that song is in my life. This may sound really dorky, but that song has helped me through a lot. Its very inspirational. I wasn't suicidal or anything, but I was down a while ago because I had no job and no car to find one. I listened to this song once everyday, and it gave me the will to go out and try harder than I had for anything else to get a job, and now I have a great paying job make 23 bucks an hour, and I am driving a BMW. And I'm only 18.

Thats my success story. :)

what are you doing that pays $23/hr? and how do i get me some of that?

Working at a factory making plastic cups and stuff. Its a very repititive job, but it pays well. :)

You get 23 bucks an hour in a plastic factory! I've been paid less than that as a programmer and as an engineer. Most I ever got in a plastic factory was about £4.50. I've gotta get my ass over to Canada.

Metallica is always good. Any kind of metal, really. Try Slayer, but don't listen to the lyrics.

nm duh - im truly retarded...i hope no one saw that

I just listen to punk. Recently been trying rave/dance music too. Haven't decided if it's good yet.

any zeppelin or skynard
sometimes the harder primus songs (harold of the rocks)
and motorhead

oh yeah iron maiden rocks.
try their powerslave album.

I like Mudvayne, Slipknot, and MushroomHead

tina turner - "simply the best"

and a chinese song called "Wong Fei Hung" those are the ONLY two I listen when I work out..:D

man i'm not a heavy metal kinda guy... so mine are compleatly off

Torches - Rise Against
Black maska ang Gasoline - Rise against
Another Day - Midpoint

Try some basketball team themes too for warm-ups, they are long too.

I listen to the Chicago Bulls and the Detroit Pistons themes.

Rage Against the Machine - Sleep Now in the Fire among other songs
System of a Down
Korn
Slipknot - The Hyper Remix for Spit It Out is great
Disturbed - The Game

For me, it doesn't have to be dark, heavy or violent. It doesn't have to be a particular genre. It just has to be something that caught my ear and has a good "pulse".

I don't know if I could really listen to all of the "80s movie achievement anthems" while working out. Nothing against them, they just remind me of the movies too much.:)

def the eye of the tiger!

I dont push weight, but when I am on the running machine and I feel like giving up, I always imagine that music, and me pumping up the stairs... and roaring to the top fists aloft!

Quarashi - Stick 'em up

IMO the ultimate workout song is

Snap - I got the power. Especially the extended remix.

Robert Tepper-No Easy Way Out.

With that and Eye of the Tiger, you'll never stop.

good call! :thumbsup:

if you are into hip hop, DMX songs get me pump. Makes me wanna punch somebody.

Anything from the Carpenters and Abba. Maybe some Chopin, too.

I lift slow and steady, so I would have to add Pink Floyd to the mix. Of course, some A3 is also quite nice.

Daft Punk - Harder, Faster, Better, Stronger

You are what you listen you to~

Pantera is always good (if you like metal). Lamb of God is a new favorite. Lately though, I'm liking some techno (like New Order, "confusion panel" or something)

Good workout music huh? How about Kanye's workout plan by Kanye West. Come on, its in the title.

Every one of the rocky sound tracks

old but gold for the gym: Guns 'n Roses - Appetite for Destruction
