I love All Shall Perish, havenā€™t listened to them in a couple years. Maybe Iā€™ll bring em back before tonightā€™s squat session.

Lovin the metal suggestions! Stuff Iā€™m not as familiar with. I workout in my garage so the music sets the atmosphere. Love getting into a trance like state then banging out those 20 reppers or any set for that matter.

Oh yeah, x2 on the viking metal. This oldy goldy has been a tried and true theme song at our gym.

No way man, just keep throwing them out there. I thought itā€™d be cool to have a thread where anyone can share a favorite song,album,bands whatever you know.Kind of like back in the day when i used to make mixed tapes on cassettes and trade them with my friends. We would go to local gigs and support our favourite bands. It was all word of mouth. Still is but just easier now. I know this is a 531 training community but i think it fits. Good training, good music, good times!

Iā€™m odd man out in this one. I used to crank the chit up loud but I donā€™t know wtf is wrong with me now but getting all pumped up tires me out. My fav thing to do is stream Barbell Shrugged from Youtube to the TV in my garage and watch that. I watched Jack Reacher the other day. Iā€™ve even thrown in some political talk radio but that usually just gets me pissed off. On Sundayā€™s nothing is better than watching NFL pre-game with Howie and Terry while I get my lift on. Iā€™m old now, Iā€™m 40. lol

Harms Way makes me want to put my face through the wall. Brutal dudes, and the lead vocalist is absolutely yoked, for some reason that makes me like lifting to them more haha

@tepford Actually a ton of studies say that you donā€™t really get amped up when you listen to your favorite music, because like you said it relaxes you. Interesting stuff to read if you feel like looking it up.

Usually listen to podcasts, butā€¦ these two usually do it for me.

I broke band camps little heart so many times last night, i had to buy the sucker. Great band. Just quickly wanted mention, this morning i was stoked to get after it with this album cranked. It was supposed to be bench day but i thought fuck it i want to squat. So i worked up to my TM and went back down the ladder supersetted chins and dips, alternating each set. Fucking killed it! Awesome workout. But coming back down the ladder it just hit me. I have not been working hard enough on the big lifts. My legs felt the way they feel when i play hockey, and that got me thinking about why i lift. Iā€™m 20+20 myself and i love going out and playing hockey with the young bucks who are trying to make major junior or even pro and being able to keep up with them and not be out of place on the ice. Its all starting to come together for me now. Iā€™m learning how to use 531 for different times of the year. Anyways, i just wanted to send you my deepest gratitude for all you do. Thanks man
