Best Metal Music for Lifting Weights to?

[Gregz]

What do you lift to, or what would you recommend for lifting?

Some of my favs are Judas Priest, Guns n' Roses, Motley Crue, and other classic 80s lineups, but I really could use some more songs.

What do you recommend? (lists are great too)

Thanks,

-Greg

Folk metal it will inspire you to become strong and conquer

 

[Psychonaut]

Unless it's Korpiklaani. Then you'll be too drunk to lift.

I used to do Priest, the Ram It Down album. Blood Red Skies has a good beat for reps.

Unearth
Metallica
Dream Theater - Train of Thought
ATG - SOTS
Suffocation

usually for me the more brutal death sorta stuff pumps me the fuck up, i've been using aborted, skinless, impaled for a while but recently i've just been using whatevers on my ipod which is exodus - force of habit, nuclear assault - handle with care and other random stuff which definately isn't as good as the skinless, impaled, aborted stuff.

Believe it or not: Trivium - Ascendancy

 

[Vilden]

Well, lifting weights is pretty gay and Trivium is pretty gay too, so I guess they could fit, not that I've tested.

 

[Koude Haat]

How about listening to music you like?

I don't really lift because I work in a warehouse lifting crap all day, and that's redundant.

But, at work and when I shoot around before I play basketball I listen to anything with really aggressive vocals. It's late, so I'm having trouble with specifics, but check the Brutal/Slam Death thread and I personally enjoy Metalcore as a motivator because of the vocal style.

There is and always has been only one acceptable weight-lifting song, and it isn't metal:

The man speaks truth. Listen to him, for he is wise.

 

[Zephyrus]

I preferred Behemoth back when I lifted.

 

[Carcassian]

lifted shirts ?

 

[Zephyrus]

I was on the wrestling team back in high school.

^Did everyone else have to listen to Behemoth too?

I'm just going to assume you're being a dick here since it's early in the morning and don't feel like being a dick myself

iPod.

 

[Haiway]

I've lifted to a LOT of bands....Aborted and Dew-Scented are generally my favorite, but Suffocation, Deicide, Ministry, Behemoth, Nile, Death, Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel, Decapitated, Impious......all are great.
