One song to pick....

[Jared Enderton]

I know there has been a thread posted about all of your favorite music/songs to listen to while training... Now if you were going to do a max lift, and you only could choose ONE song to play.. what would it be?

Mine would have to be...

Static X- Push it

I didn't realize until after I did it how hard it is to only pick one song... but there is mine.

[Lacy]

limp biskit break stuff

[Chris Mathison]

Sorry for the un-originality but I would say "push it" also.

[Matt Meinrod]

Eminem "Till I collapse"

[nathan fitzgerald]

Right now it would be "Burn" by Throwdown.

Throwdown "Burn" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DcuRwZKyHA)

[Mac Smith]

DMX "Rough Rider's Anthem"

[Kevin McNease]

Rammstein - Hilf Mir

Kevin

[Rus Mandery]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=0FDYCh4m_TY

[Brad Stanford]

"Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynyrd Skynyrd

[Ryan Bakke]

COWBOYS FROM HELL-PANTERA

really i guess anything Pantera

[Gags]

limp biskit break stuff

I'll second that...used to rock that on repeat before rugby matches

[Patrick McGuffin]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=0FDYCh4m_TY

You are so lucky that I am not the one doing the banning Rus MUAHAHAHAHAHAH! :EL:

[Patrick McGuffin]

Wait and Bleed By slipknot

[Jonathan Macfarlane]

AC/DC- Thunderstruck

[Garrick Daft]

:YT:

Macfarlane serves it up right!! Gotta do the live version though...need that crowd cheering you on!!!

[Patrick McGuffin]

i cant lift to AC/DC anymore, everysingle time you walk into the weightroom at the highschool it was playing, EVERY TIME!

[LarryPerna]

War Nerve~Pantera

[Eric Jett]

Gonna Fly Now(theme from Rocky)- Bill Conti

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Y3_-zg4cPms

[Chris Mathison]

DMX "Rough Rider's Anthem"

DMX "Get it on the floor" is my 1RM squat favorite. The title says it all.

[Jim Glover]

Just about anything by Clutch or Black Label Society.

But for one good pump up song I gotta go with No Shelter by Rage Against the Machine.

And I hate to say it but Limp Bizkit makes me want to dry heave.

They are Korn/Deftones lite.

:T:

[Ryan Rhodes]

Ridiculously loud bagpipes and drums.

If Slayer could figure out how to arrange "War Ensemble" with bagpipes, I'm 92% sure I could press Savickas and his WR log overhead at which point the shear awesomeness of the noise would cause them both to explode.

[Elliot_Storey]

Duck Tales Theme Song

[Jared Enderton]

haha I bet there are more people than me out there who 'always wait for their favorite part of the song to come up before they max'..haha...... but... If I were to do the lift immediately, I would have a tie between Trivium-Pull Harder on the Strings of your Martyr, and Disturbed-Down With the Sickness... haha..... I know I said 2 more.. but as you get to thinking about it, it is so hard just to single one out.

[Eric Jett]

And also Move by Thousand Foot Krutch

[Matt Brouse]

Anything Hatebreed...but Supremacy of Self is probably at the top right now.

[Todd Malone]

Bring the Noise - Anthrax/Public Enemy mix

[ClayEdgin]

"Satellite" by P.O.D. I love it.

[Scott Gonzalez]

Psycho Realm - Sick Dogs


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQ5bkRGgNZc

[Scott Porter]

Eye of the Tiger - that's an 'ol standby.

More recently Fallen by Stemm. It's played prior to UFC fights sometimes.

[srojv]

Enter Sandman

[Justin Warren]

For maxes, Fury of the Storm by Dragonforce. Fantasy metal at its finest.

[DaneGarreau]

Freak on a Leash by Korn

Loco by Coal Chamber
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Sn1v_uW2jk

[Nicolette L.]

CLUTCH _ Pitchfork& Lost Needles- far country

[corey.clark]

Slayer - Killing Fields - the opening of that song always gets me pumped

[David standifer]

anything slipknot

[james rude]

omerta from lamb of god- just skip the intro

[jake brooks]

"Who are you" - The Who

[Eric Johnson]

Pantera - Cowboys From Hell

[Chris Cary]

"Imminent War" by Living Sacrifice :BP:

[Lee Horton]

Hammer Smash Face from Cannibal Corpse or anything from Lamb of God.

[Liz Cawley]

Judas Priest- Breaking the Law or Screaming for Vengance

[Matt Schumann]

Im not to sure about the best song to listen too during a one rep max but i have the worse song i have ever heard during a heavy lift...

The worse song award goes to (drum role please)

One day a few years ago i was going for a really heavy PR on the incline leg press and i got myself all amped up for it.... I sat down put my feet up, and was doing my wierd heavy breathing/grunting routine when all of a sudden i hear

"ITS RAINING MEN"

I just sat there in disbelief. Went out to my car, got my cd player and then went back to complete my workout

[Joshua Davis]

"Opps I did it again" is pretty damn hot when I am pumping out a new max curl.

I always turn the music off when I am going for a heavy 1rm. I am too busy focusing on the lift to waste braincells on the ambiance.

[Matt Schumann]

I dont know.... I still think its raining men has to be the worse.

I would rather listen to music on a big lift... Gets my nerve's to calm down a bit

[RyanWilson]

Nicolette is on the mark with Clutch - for me though it's either Mercury or Mice and Gods.

Something about the line "Fire it up and the flesh be damned" that puts me in the squatting mood.

[Sean Lezgus]

Nonpoint - Alive and Kicking

every time i hear it all i can see is Mariuz squatting like a madman in that video that garrick made a while back. insane

[Mike Landrich]

BALLS TO THE WALL by Accept.

[jonboy]

Live for this - Hatebreed

[Justin Warren]

This sounds strange, but I have actually done very good lifting to the Numa Numa song. It was on my training partner's computer playlist and we just went with it.

[Wes Peart]

Bagpipes rock.

[Marcelo]

Mine would either be "Bulls On Parade" by Rage Against The Machine or "New Level" by Pantera.

[AaRoNSnider]

I couldnt listen to just one song.Id have to have different songs or silence

[Charles Bean]

I'm waaaay out in left field compared to everyone else here, but what the hell: Best of You by Foo Fighters. Cause you know who gets the fucking best of me?

I DO.

[Dane Kelley]

battery by metallica

[Matt Nickerson]

Rob Zombie, Hatebreed, Skynard, Slipknot, Linkin Park, some 2Pac, Sir Mixalot, Eminem, Older Limp Bizcut stuff, etc, etc.

[Elana Conklin]

Becoming by Pantera
11th Hour by Lamb of God

[Kÿle Vezeau]

Tweeter & the Monkey Man - The Headstones (Travelling Willburys cover)

[Joshua Davis]

Since I feel like such an outsider because I actually turn the stereo off before a big lift, I'll list what I listen to when training...

Atreyu, Faith No More, Bad Religion, Nodes Of Ranvier, Dropkick Murphys, Ballydowse


And music I listen to when chilling out:

Muddy Waters, Elmore James, BB King, Robert Johnson, The Chieftians, the soundtrack to "Oh Brother Where Art Thou", and sometimes lately, Gnarls Barkley.


I associate songs with lifts, so during high-rep squats, I might listen to "Lay Your Body Down" by Benjamin Gate, or "Midlife Crisis" by Faith No More. For overheads and pulls, I listen to harder music like Atreyu or Nodes. For Highland Games drills, I'll pop in Dropkick, Ballydowse, etc...

We never listen to music when event training at Tom's... unless his kids are playing piano (the piano is next to the garage we train in), in which case we are listening to hymnal-type music.

[Matt Meinrod]

After reading these songs I'm starting to get the feeling this board is mostly made up of the Aryan Brotherhood...it's like a Hitler Youth rally or something.

[Justin Stratton]

Lines of Suicide or Scars of your disease by The Agony Scene.

i honestly can't pick one. those are the only 2 songs i listen to during max week. HONESTLY

yes i listen to screamo, emo, metal, hardcore whatever you want to call it lol. i even listen to it in my dialy life.

[darrell baker]

one song is hard to choose, i like 'strength beyond strength' & 'use my third arm' by pantera. 'angel of death' & 'raining blood' by slayer....actually that whole album (reign in blood).

[Matt Nickerson]

After reading these songs I'm starting to get the feeling this board is mostly made up of the Aryan Brotherhood...it's like a Hitler Youth rally or something.

Funny how that worked out.

[Kevin Klavetter]

Are you saying it is like a prison weight lifting yard? Kind of like an episode of OZ :LOL:

[Eric Hammer]

#1 Choice(s) = Eminem - Til I collapse or Evil Deeds.

#2 Choice = AC/DC

#3 Choice = Rob Zombie

[Matt Meinrod]

Are you saying it is like a prison weight lifting yard? Kind of like an episode of OZ :LOL:

haha that's exactly what I'm saying! after listening to a few of these favorite songs I suddenly feel the need to go buy some combat boots and get a tattoo.

Great taste in music! First off FNM was way ahead of their time and anything Mike Patton does is superb. Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson are my two favorite blues artists. Good to see another blues man on the board :cool:

[James Davis]

Youth of Today - Wake up and Live

[Jared Enderton]

haha a Hitler youth rally.. that is pretty funny.. I do like a lot of the same music... but, it will take me a while to download all of these new songs, but I am excited for new music.

[Mike Landrich]

Good thing I chose Accept's BALLS TO THE WALL over Rammstein's DU HAST. Oh crap, forget it, both are German bands. :D

[James Davis]

Who are you talking to?

[nathan fitzgerald]

Who are you talking to?


Youth of Today is not Hitler stuff, btw. Its 80's hardcore...


I am still trying to figure out who here is listening to "Hitler Music"


Hardcore is by no means Hitler music.

[James Davis]

Extreme Corporal Punishment - Fear and Loathing

[Jared Enderton]

I was just talking in general to everyone's replies... I like most of the heavy music people have mentioned, too many to name particular ones.

[Nicolette L.]

Nicolette is on the mark with Clutch - for me though it's either Mercury or Mice and Gods.

Something about the line "Fire it up and the flesh be damned" that puts me in the squatting mood.

Yea I love Clutch. They get me in the zone. Most people I know do not know who they are. Do you like them Ryan?

[Kÿle Vezeau]

I am still trying to figure out who here is listening to "Hitler Music"




Beethoven, Wagner, and Anton Bruckner. Now that's good Hitler music.

[Mac Smith]

Where do I sign up?!!!!!! :FF:

[Mike Landrich]

Where do I sign up?!!!!!! :FF:

Judging by your size, anywhere you want to sign up. :B:

I can't help thinking of 2 things though

the scene in LETHAL WEAPON 2 where Danny Glover goes to the South African consulate and says he wants to emigrate there and the consule replies "But you're black"

and Chapelle's character Biggsby, the black white supremacist. Great work by Dave.

Uncle Rucker on the Boondocks is probably the funniest case.

[Kristyn Vytlacil]

Anytime I go for a max on DL I listen to "Crazy B...." by Buck Cherry.

[Justin Wood]

Hatebreed - Perseverance...has been my song for 3 years now...

[ADAMBAUER]

Anytime I go for a max on DL I listen to "Crazy B...." by Buck Cherry.
They were just here in town last night for the fair, I missed the show (dang job and responsibilites! LOL) Heard great things about it thought!

Anyway, I listen to either Disturbed "Down with the Sickness" or if I really need to get a kick in the rear its Godsmack "I Stand Alone" I hear that and I get the blood going!

[Vinnie Cossuto]

Mudvayne- Under My Skin

[dronga]

Sic!!!!!!!

[HunterHenzler]

hehe...
I listen to a little bit of everything...
If you really want a good long song that gets the blood going- Strength of the World by Avenged Sevenfold.
It starts out real mellow and goes into some loud guitar..It's liek 9 and ahalf minutes long

I can honestly get pumped to almost anything if I don't listen to it too much...I just have a gear that everthing becomes shut out and I get loud and start yelling, then it's PR time...

[dcarroll]

When electricity came to Arkansas, by Black Oak Arkansas

[Scott Markowitz]

When electricity came to Arkansas, by Black Oak Arkansas

When I got to the comma in that sentence, I expected a reference to some future date when electricity would come to Arkansas. :D

(I have Arkie in-laws, btw...)

[Arnell Castillo]

DARE by Stan Bush. The song is from the old Transformers movie . Gets me pumped everytime !

[dcarroll]

Scott, Most people on this board are to young to remember these guys(early 70s). The song is about 5min. the album is called Hot and Nasty. Crank it up loud. As far as Arkie in-laws, the Carrolls are from Tex,Okl, and Ark.

[Anton Koushnir]

When I try to listen to music I like (Metal & classical) I start to pay too much attention to the music and can't concentrate on the workout.

[Barney Shannon]

I actually had a couple of their albums in HS. Any of you youngins remember albums? :D

[Matt Lebo]

Slaughtered by Pantera!!!

Hatebreed, Slayer, and Soulfly all have great stuff too but Pantera is king.

[Josh Canipe]

There is only 1 album anyone needs for lifting. It's by Lamb of God and is entitled "As The Palaces Burn" It contains these 3 songs. Never has there been as much kicking ass on one album since Master of Puppets. These vids may not be work/child safe.

Knee Deep by Job For A Cowboy

[Kristi Godfrey]

Last Resort by Papa Roach, that song just flat out gets my movin.

[Ian Duggan]

Right now, I think it would be Stinkfist by Tool. Mainly due to Danny Carey's drumming...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07pLGIgyfjw&mode=related&search=

[Corey St. Clair]

like most of you/us in the iron game...music can make a workout a mind-numbing assault on the senses...i love linkin parq...disturbed -down w/the sickness has a kickin effect on the mind/body...however, Aaron Lewis (lead singer for Staind) was in Boise this past week and his voice basically rocks like no other...he said during the concert that he's actually free-styled and written songs like during a concert--w/o ever playing it before he just makes it up as he goes and it freakin rocks!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7r18PAXwJiQ&mode=related&search=

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRJeWQ8Xr9c&mode=related&search=

Callie and Marunde fam--i think you'll like the one called Zoe Jane...it's about Aaron's daughter...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bobskjQwWI&mode=related&search=


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BbSkHTwrpc&mode=related&search=
this song totally rocks...it's kinda slow so not great for liftin but has such great lyrix...great for us hopeless romantix....

for liftin, metallic "one" is kickin and it's too bad that g n r is over played but welcome to the jungle, sweet child o mine...

"that's all i got to say about that"

[Jason_Lake]

My first choice is Hatebreed's I Will Be Heard. I like to get set up to the first couple of lines,
"Now is the time for me to rise to my feet, wipe your spit from my face, wipe these tears from my eyes". It's my way of gearing up and saying screw you to all the doubters, most of all my own self doubt, and explode when the song does right after that. Same way with a certain Korn song off their first album that's title is probably unfit to print on a family site, but its the point in the song where it says, "____ you, I'm fed up with you, I'm not as good as you, ____ you, I'm better then you." Again same thing, I want to silence the doubters, especially myself. Maybe I just need some confidence therapy. :)

[Matt Bosnick]

I like any Metallica when I squat, Rage Against the Machine for bench or OH press, and Pantera for deadlifts. "Walk" would be my top pick but anything off Vulgar Display of Power, The Great Southern Trendkill (War Nerve, Drag The Waters), or Far Beyond Driven (5 Minutes Alone, I'm Broken) suits me.

[Josh Canipe]

Right now, I think it would be Stinkfist by Tool. Mainly due to Danny Carey's drumming...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07pLGIgyfjw&mode=related&search=

I'm a huge Tool fan as well, especially the drumming. 46 and 2 has got to be my fav.
