Just log on to Spotify and it does it for you
Well I had 33k minutes, and Of Mice And Men was my top band. Let the record show this was way more minutes than @garagerocker13.

Confession: I donāt have a Spotify account.

I confess I donāt have the balls to confess anything like that online, which isnāt a confession of having done anything similar either although I may hypothetically have in a different place and time without the presence of goats, which isnāt a confession in itself.
So the only real confession here is: Thatās FUNNY AS FUCK LMAO. Especially the 2nd part.
I confess Iāve grown so bored with doing my own shit during training Iām doing Meadows programs again which actually give me less results than doing my own shit.
Which doesnāt mean I think Iām a better trainer than Meadows. Not by a long shot. Just his descriptions on proper exercise technique to train someone to acquire mmc is such gold no one else comes close.
Iām not talking about form. Iām talking about technique. If you donāt know what Iām talking about, read @T3hPwnisher 's blog.
I just know my own body better than Meadows does after living in it for 40 years, thatās all. And what works for ME may not work for YOU.
PS. Iām doing Gamma Bomb for anyone interested. Iāll skip the legs specialization portion and move on to either Creeping Death 2 or Project Colossus. Thatās the plan unless I get bored again and start doing my own shit. Or a combination of his stuff and mine.
I donāt do straight sets btw. Iāve done his programs using straight sets before and find old school pyramiding/ramping better and less time consuming while following the overall layouts of his workouts.
I understand his latest lower volume programs follow something similar to the latter, which I think are much better for anyone intending to purchase any of his stuff unless youāre trying to avoid going heavy because of injuries or chronic tendon issues.

Colossus is just the best shit. Low volume, crazy intensity, crazy pump and size results, and lots of fun !

Yeah, I loved it. Just starting off with Gamma Bomb because I did Colossus more recently than that and I really loved the first portion of Gamma Bomb. Hated the layout of the leg days in the 2nd portion.
EDIT:
Dudes, you donāt HAVE to do Meadowās programs if you donāt want to pay for them. You just have to follow his principles from his articles and add your own shit. I only pay for them because psychologically, Iām forcing myself to complete them or Iāve just wasted my money and I like variety when doing programs or I get bored easily and start improvising my own shit in the gym.
I only started purchasing them to force myself from going too heavy in the past when my shoulder and lower back were killing me.
Hell, you can go do some free variation of FST-7 and get the same or even better results. Just ramp up the sets of the compound movements to 1 or 2 top sets with max acceleration on the positive with a controlled negative. Use the 7s sets to train your MMC.
If youāre a noob, I WOULD NOT ADVISE you to do ANY of Meadowās commercial programs. You will fail. 100%. Youāre better off doing FST-7 the way I described it above. Focus on building technique with the warm up and ramping sets.
Use the 531 progression model for ONE movement per muscle group. E.g, Incline/Flat Bench, Rows/Chin-ups/Pull-downs, Squats, Barbell Curls, Tricep Dips/Close grip Bench. Use the 7s sets for practicing really contracting the target the muscles and building MMC. Donāt even look in the mirror. Just FLEX the shit out of them. If you do something stupid like choose Rack Pulls for your 7s sets, donāt come back crying to me after 3 months.

Just looked at my Spotify stats.
My top song was Set It Off by Liāl Boosie. How did an old white guy come to put such a song in heavy rotation? There is an explanation, albeit not a terribly interesting one.
Butā¦
Two of my top 5 listens wereā¦

Final Countdown?
I only listen to gangsta rap on spotify because I only use it in the gym and thatās apparently what their algorithm thinks I want to listen to. Donāt like it. Canāt be bothered to fuck with the app. But it sure beats the same horrible dubstep shit they put Bn an eternal loop everyday after hours in my gym.
Question: Given the proliferation of airpods, headphones, etc, why do gyms still play music at all? I havenāt been to the gym since covid, but it always seemed to me that 50-70% of members brought their own music. I was constantly imploring the manager to turn down the ambient music so I wouldnāt have to crank mine up too much. (No, I wasnāt a Karen about it.)

I donāt think thatās on the soundtrack. But either way, no. Worse.
I dunno. The employees might go nuts hearing all the grunting and banging of weights without some music. But that doesnāt explain why my gym still plays music after hours when thereāre no employees there.
I think it is more for the people who walk into the gym to check it out than for members. Give some atmosphere, just like they do in clothes shops.

Sure sounds a bit like it lol,
I confess I think at least 70% of Maiden songs are 3 chord variations of Led Zepās Achilles Last Stand. No, probably like 60%.
