Workout Music?

BRISTOL86

What music gets you going and motivated in the gym? Looking for inspiration!

Cro-Mags

Cheesy 80s rock

I like a bit of Biffy, or Gaslight Anthem.
There's also something to be said for chilled out music, the feeling of all your muscles straining whilst you work out but everything seeming simple and calm in your music is a cool&eerie effect

Hard rock and metal for me: Steel Panther, Lamb of God, Godsmack, Alter Bridge etc.

Interesting! Any examples of the sort of chilled music you mean?

Decapitated, Darkest Hour, Black Dahlia Murder, Pantera, Nickelback... depends on what mood really.

Clutch when lifting- gets me going. 
QOTSA/Tool/NIN for running- rhythm, rhythm, rhythm. 
Motown/soul for grappling- counterintuitively you need to stay calm & not tense up. Chilled music helps.

I like a bit of Zero 7 personally. I wouldn't advice it for cardio where you're trying to keep up a pace and rhythm, but sometimes I like the serenity when lifting weights

Thanks all good suggestions!

Yesterday I listened to the Pat Metheny story part one. Yay go power workout.

Reverend

If you are doing weights then you need to Conan The Barbarian ost or else what is the point?

I normally listen to audioboooks or podcasts

I struggle to listen to 'songs' in the gym - distracting and I don't want to associate the songs I like with the gym - so I'd go with instrumental music - whether that be dj mixes or largely instrumental albums

Also shout to @duotone podcasts (I'd recommend the Bugle for a laugh) and audiobooks are good.
