Not sure if this has been done before, or will even take off, but is worth a shot!

Just got back from the gym today and realised how utterly crap my gym playlist on my iPod was. I have a Three tracks i tend use to do any big lifts or any work where im really tired and need a little extra something/motivation. I find myself constantly skipping songs because i think theyre **** and wondered why the hell i even put them in my gym playlist!

Limp Biskit- Keep Rollin
Nine Inch Nails- Just Like You Imagined
Oxide and Neutrino- Shoot to Kill.

Bit of a varied choice but these are the ones i find myself listening to the most. Can any of you share which songs you like to work out to? or suggest anything similar i might like?:)

Thanks

Benny C

Edit: Please dont turn this into a thread where we flame eachothers choice of music! Thanks.

Edit 2: Sorry to be fussy! Can people please specific with track names, as opposed to just Genres or Artists, as each artist produces more than one song! Just how Killa_Ken has listed is perfect thanks!

I usually find the electronic stuff is the best for this, so daft punk, aphex twin, prodigy, underworld, UNKLE... lots of others

Actually, thinking about it anything with a fast beat usually does the trick so not just electronic stuff.

I'm not going to list 100 artists that I like though :p
 
You guys should definately check out the songs I posted. They're the best of the best after 2 years of trying to find the ultimate songs.

cant be touched and throw it up get my so psyched its unbelievable. Ive added 15lbs to my powerclean before just from being so psyched to get it

I find fast stuff makes me go to fast, the rap has a nice tempo so I work it nice and slow and steady. I get tired out listening to the fast paced stuff.

while i know its easy to find on the tube, im guessing the mods here might not like it :p
quite a bit of swearing :P
 
A few others might like ive re-discovered some from Blade Trinity OST

The RZA - Fatal
Roy Jones - Ya'll Must've Forgot
Shop Boys- Party Like a Rockstar
50 Cent- I get Money (Despite the fact its 50 cent, give it a listen, something about it makes it brilliant to run or lift to.)
Mims- Like this

Suppose suited gym music is what i'd call a 'Angry' Genre:p

Don't you find having ear phones and in general having music puts you off? I can't cope with my ipod at the gym. Doing aerobic exercises yes, but weights? Not a chance.

I definitely prefer to train without music. For example, when i'm readying myself for a set of heavy squats i do not want any distractions. I find Rap music especially annoying, i can't listen to that rubbish at the best of times :D
