My gym usually plays loud hardcore music through the PA, so I rarely pick my own soundtrack. Apart from that…
Entry song
A few favourites, in no particular order…
I hit a deadlift rep PR last Wednesday and my gym was playing a block of Grateful Dead at the time. So I guess stoner music works fine for me. Must be the vibes.
That sweatshop union is a good album. I was listening to this today.
For heavy PRs, I prefer no music, but the gym keeps playing the SAME THING over and over.
I usually try to calm down, but sometimes amped is the way to go.
This has been my go to for the past month. Powerman 5000- When Worlds Collide
EDIT: Not the video I would have imagined for that song ha
Psychologically: It is whatever gets you into the correct state of mind.
I enjoy Jamie Lewis as a lifter, but his soundtracks would drive me nuts.
Same with a Lot of the other lifters here that I have the utmost respect for…
Find what works for you, also understand that the music that works for one lift might not work for another.
My Big three lifts all have different soundtracks to them…
