Off-Topic Music Whilst Training

[Kev]

Carvings, Blood of Garuda. This whole albums sounds like, I don’t know, if you had the most badass protagonist hero in a movie ever fathomed and every time he appeared on screen it was like heavy guitars and just ooooooomph. Anyway that’s what’s on my stereo most sessions.

 

[Hung]

why aren't you watching that kid K'Duong and his record breaking?

Weightlifting in here do nothing for the community athletes are government's racing horses

I listen to my body. I concentrate on the matter at hand… training, not music…)

(That being said… I will listen to tunes whilst doing soul stealing box steps… psychobilly… )

Relaxed country(ish) music. Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt, James McMurtry, Charlie Robison, Jason Isbell, Townes Van Zandt, or else Delta Blues. I like a lot of @John K ’s Country stuff.

I LOVE all your choices of music!

Any love for Robert Earl Keen?

I was at a Rammstein show yesterday and today I feel like I had a heavy training session.

Epic, I imagine.
Guessing hard to describe unless you were there.

 

[SamTX]

For me, it is one of the most enjoyable parts of training, so much so that the question is sometimes inverted. What training do I want to do while I listen to this music.

 

[Nate]

Garage open, speakers blasting out the 90s/00s high energy of Metallica, Ice Cube, Linkin Park, Eminem, STP, Rage, etc. Rattle the civilized neighborhood a bit....

 

[Steve Freides]

No music while doing anything except music, so that means no music while lifting, driving, and whatever else.

That guy who sat on "This Ol' Porch" in College Station with Lyle Lovett, waitin' for the Presbyterians to emerge from Church on Sunday Morning so they could play 'em a little gospel music in their underwear ? ? ? ?

HECK YEAH!!

I can't listen to podcasts when I train. It takes too much effort first to hear absolutely all of what they say, and then think what to make of what they say. However, it is a good choice when I do some monotonic and unimportant exercise, like shoveling snow or mowing the lawn.

Yes, that's why I don't listen to podcasts whilst strength training. But, I ruck 75~90 minutes about twice a week. While rucking I listen to Joe Rogan. Podcasts are perfect for rucking!

Lyle Lovett <sigh> - what a wonderful, one-of-a-kind he is. For those of you who don't know him, perhaps my favorite - even though he writes most of his own songs, this song isn't his but the performance sure is.

I tend to rotate podcasts and music. Podcasts are usually npr staples and things like the Tim ferriss show and The Game with Alex hormozi.

Music depends. If I need some power, either iggy pop or punk like against me, rancid, or operation ivy. If it is more chill then recently I’ve been listening to my playlist of good bands from places I’ve lived. So bands like trampled by turtles, the heart pills, Jagernaughts, and Bob Dylan.

 

[George Vrotsos]

Grinds session: Metallica, Tool, or Queens of the Stone Age
Ballistics session: Same as above, but also hip-hop sometimes.
Rucking: Anjuna Deep (EDM podcast) or a normal podcast.

If it is a harder session or a bad brain day where I can't focus, music: I have two speeds - rock and ... folk country? I dunno the genre exactly ... Rock - lately Powerwolf, Nirvana, Five Finger Death Punch, Primordial, and Wardruna have been making a lot of appearances. Rob Bailey and the Hustle Standard is fun sometimes. Folk Country are groups like Poor Mans Poison; Slaid Cleaves; Goodnight, Texas; Crooked Still; The Dead South; Tyminski; SteelDrivers; Blue Moon Rising; Whiskey Myers...

I'm in the same boat as you. I love me some bluegrass/folk country training.

Usually, I don't train with music. I like the quiet, contemplative monotony of set after set of A+A work...

Love that the Aggie roommates (Robert Earl and Lyle Lovett) are getting love on the workout music thread. Plot twist!

Thanks and Gig 'Em.

I love Guy Clark too! Lovett's cover of "Step Inside This House" is so powerful! Lovett's whole "Step Inside This House" album is so great. I am a guitar player. I used to be able to sing and play that whole album. The song "Bears" written by Stephen Fromholz on that record is my go to acoustic guitar song.

 

[Freddy.Sanchez4234]

It honestly truly depend on how I’m feeling that day. Some days i will listen to r&b or some smooth Spanish music. Some days i want to kick down the doors with 2000s rock music and some days I’m feeling like a grown man with rap playing in my ear. But I can also watch YouTube videos and listen to podcasts.

Yes, an absolute gem. Today I A&A snatched for an hour to my Lyle Lovett playlist. He truly "has lights in his fingers...."
