Best Metal Music for Lifting Weights to?

[Vilden]

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

Well, I stand by my statement atleast. :>

 

[The Ozzman]

You must have a high metabolism

 

[Vilden]

yes I have mega high metabolism, but that's not the point. Exercising is good and all, it's just lifting weights that's gay.

Why is lifting weights gay, then? It's a form of exercise and helps build muscle and reduce fat like all other exercises. You need to explain why you think something as rudimentary as weight training is gay

 

[Vilden]

Because I associate weight lifting with people who are obsessed with having muscles etc. Looking at themselves in the mirror each day hoping to see improvments. Yes I know this is the generalization of a life time but 99% of the people I know who regularly go to gyms ended up like that after awhile and I think it is very gay. If you run a few km each other day to feel healthy is just not on the same level or even reason.

 

[The Ozzman]

I alternate between weight training and cardio. I'm mainly doing it to control my weight (along with changing my deit a bit). It's worked so far.

 

[Matt]

I generally don't listen to anything while lifting as I'm generally doing it with multiple people (school, dad, etc). I usually listen to epic power metal or extremely fast paced, catchy death when I run though.

 

[Life Sucks]

Brutal death metal for lifting. I like stuff with tons of blasting when I'm working out.

 

[Life Sucks]

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

Who are you to say lifting is gay? Being the size of a girl is gayer than being big and strong. No offense.

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

I actually prefer Nile for that.

Being gay is pretty ungay man, I mean gays fuck men! What can be more manly than that!

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

That guy rules.

 

[audiophileguy]

Midpaced death metal does the trick. A lot of Doom as well. Hell, even groove metal makes for good lifting music. I can't tolerate thrash or brutal dm when I lift tho, too many bpms. However, I think they make good jogging music

Bolt Thrower
Amorphis
Lemming Project
Unleashed - midvinterblut(pretty fast album, but a few songs make for good lifting)
Candlemass
Pantera
Cancer - to the gory end
napalm death

 

[Old Man Metal]

Haiway - gotta agree with ya there.

Back in my day,
Pantera/Reinventing the Steel
System of a Down/System of a Down

I read this whole thing and I can only sit here going "uh....what?" Lifting is just as important as cardio and , uh, for the record BURNS MORE CALORIES than cardio. There's nothing wrong with lifting or cardio.

Absolutely ridiculous statements here. Of course I lift weights to see results but I also lift to maintain being healthy. I can bench 275 lbs. but I don't go walking around with tight shirts etc.

 

[Black Friday]

Thrash metal for me. Isn't really the beat, but just something that gets my blood pumping. Slayer works well. Don't like them that much unless I'm doing something else to distract me from their mostly-same-sounding songs.

I agree. What the little Swede said was completely absurd. There is nothing "gay" about wanting to have muscles. He was essentially saying that it's gay for a man to care about his appearance in any way, which represents an outdated macho point of view. Aside from that, many of the gym rats I see are complete meatheads, and I would even go so far as to say that they are more manly than men that don't do anything but drink beer and follow sports (the most manly men of all by mainstream American standards).
