It’s funny though, last week, I tried lifting to lighter, more calming music, and had a damn good workout. Stuff like Sade, “Knights in White Satin” by Moody Blues (personal fave), Fiona Apple. I got the idea from that Rollins article floating around the internet, where he said he usually lifts to ballads.

My latest workout was to “Kidz Bop 8”. I workout in my basement at 6 am and one of my kids apparently switched the cds in the player. It wasn’t the best workout music, but I have to admit, it wasn’t the worst either.
Low self opinion-rollins band
around the world-daft punk
illmatic [the whole album] but specificlly new york state of mind-nas
deftones- I think the name of the song is my own summer
HED pe- the album that came out in 01 or 02 has some of the sickest liftin tracks ever
There are so many dope tracks it’d be hard to nail it down to 5, but off the top of my head right now this is what jumped out. I’m interested to see what everyone else says.
P.S anything by Bjork and [gasp!?!?] portishead will get me fired up like no other.
Whenever I go for a deadlift PR I put that song on and fast forward to the part where Jonathen Davis starts spouting gibberish. When he screams “GO!” and I start pulling, I’m pretty sure it adds 50# to my lift.

I bought the Killswitch Engage DVD. I’ve been watching that while I’m lifting. The sound is fucking kiler.
And any Slayer song pumps me up.

The Killswitch DVD is awesome. If I had a home gym, I’d play that too.
