TweetDude, music really helps! I like hard, heavy, and loud. I have found the more pissed I get the stronger and more reps I get. So, aggresive music helps.
TweetJust like to know what everyone here thinks of listening to music when you work out. Does it give you extra energy or more intensity?
Personally, I listen to:
TOOL
NIN
Marilyn Manson
MINISTRY
Amoungst other stuff. I find that I can really get into 'the zone' if I have a hard-edged track playing. I have a workout partner for about 50% of the time. The other 50% my workout partner is TOOL blaring in my ears.

TweetI love music while I train dependning the mood im in. If im pissed off I listen to heavy metal, rock, hard rock, alternative. When Im in just a good mood I jam out to rave, trance, r&b, hip-hop, rap, internatinal, slow songs, I need music no matter what. Helps too.
Tweeti probably couldnt lift with the same intensity and focus if i didnt have my mp3. tupac, 50, nas, jay-z, metallica reigns supreme on my playlist. I think for me personally, its the focus i have, when plugged into the player, and kinda living in your own little world for the 1 hour you're blasting those sets

My gym plays shity music too, if I'm going solo I always bring the MP3.
Pain is weakness leaving the body.
Don't you dare put me on HRSA, does self abuse extend your hospital stay?
Tweeti need some hard and heavy stuff myself
Tweettool is the shit bro.
TweetI have been listening to GODSMACK for the past 2 years. That shit makes me a madman while working out!
I live in my own little world. But it's OK. They know me here
Terminator
TweetPantera is my favorite to listen to while working out. I work out at home so I can listen to anything I want as loud as I want while I'm lifting.
Slayer, S.O.D., Anthrax, Down and Metallica are other bands that I like to play while I work out.
Honestly, while I'm lifting, I dont really hear the music. But in between sets I can hear it.........pretty weird.
ps.
The S.O.D. that I am talking about is 'StormTroopers Of Death', not "System of a Down".
Tweeti noticed that i "don't hear" the music while lifiting either; either that or i'm just too damed focus on the particular exercise. i notice i tune most everything out during the lift.Originally posted by DannyM

TweetI would agree. It's a normal thing to do when focused... but between sets and when you're getting psyched up for the next set... it's great to have intense music.
I know nothing about any of this insanity... it's just a fun game to me.
