With or without earphones?

[skinnyman]

Until about 2 yrs ago, i never wore these things. thought it would be distracting as all heck. then i received a free ipod and decided to try it out in the gym. Well....no i'm addicted to them. Love having some hard rock cranking while pushing weights. Now the freakin thing just broke and i had to go and get a nano. Just one day without it, my work out suffered.

Fuzo and I don't have an ipod and we really never cared to get one, but I also think the best music to work out to is some heavy rock! It just gets your adrenaline going! The only problem with this is our gym usually does not have that kind of music playing so an ipod may be good for us.

I probably should have bought an inexpensive one as well. the volume on the ipod shuffle i had just would not turn up high enough over the dance crap hey had playing in the gym. This thing lasted only 2 yrs. So i picked up the nano and some decent earphones at $130 and $25 respectively. really rocked out this morning

Yes nothing better than hard rock. you should give it a try and do as Dave did. Pick up an inexpensive set. once you have your own music, you won't turn back

Re: With or without earphones?

the only time I would use it is when I warm up on the bike before I work out. I cant have anything in my ears while I lift it distracts me and my concentration is off

Re: With or without earphones?

I can't go without my iPod!! LOL I think I have like 3 of them, a nano and one on my iPhone. I think it gives a good excuse for someone NOT to talk to you while you are training! If I want to chat I wouldn't have them in my ears, kind of a courtesy thing IMO. I would do the same for someone else wearing them.
Not so sure about the hard rock part though guys~!!


Stay Strong~~!!!

THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY REASON FOR ME TO WEAR A IPOS IS BECAUSE OF PEOPLE TALKING TO ME TO MUCH. EVERYONE KNOWS ME IN TH GYM AND ALWAYS WANTS TO CHEW MY EAR OFF. AND THEN I GET ASKED TO SPOT PEOPLE ALL THE TIME. MAYBE I SHOULD START TO GIVE SHITTY SPOTS SO THEY STOP ASKING ME SO I CAN GET MY WORK OUT IN A TIMELY FASHION,LOL

Re: With or without earphones?

I don't have an iPod or iPhone. I still use the Bohemian FM/CD player when I'm doing my cardio. But if you need a really good pair of headphones or earbuds, go to www.headphones.com. I bought some really awesome sounding Sennheisers there for like $50. And anyone who knows about high fidelity (my 1st love before bodybuilding) knows that Sennheisers are probably the best name in headphones.

you guys are right, excuse not to talk. i was going to mention that but i thought some folks may get the wrong impression. I already have a rep of not being unsocialable in the gym. Weekday mornings i have an agenda that i need to get through with limited time. So....screw the folks that use the gym to socialize.
