[Ender Rises]

RATM

Currently in my Mp3 player for the gym:

Celtic Frost: Monotheist
Venom: Metal Black
and random Dark Angel, Mr. Bungle, Bjork, Lacuna Coil, Tool and Voivod.

I can't take the Mp3 player running unless I get new headphones that won't come out of my ear.

 

[Necro Joe]

GHOUL - Maniaxe

I don't often PUMP IRON but I can see this album being a good one.

 

[Life Sucks]

mostly death metal, and I find that brutal death metal works particularly well when lifting heavy weight

 

[Billenzimmer]

Firstly, I agree with the general thrash/death idea, anything with some pace, power and groove, as cookiecutter said. Specifically, i tend to go for more intense stuff in my collection for the weights, eg. early Napalm Death Brujeria, Decapitated, Iniquity, as well as the all out aggressive stuff (Pantera, Slayer, also agree with the RATM).
For running, rowing, etc., I like a bit of pace variation, so one album I particuarly enjoy for a good run is Burn My Eyes by Machine Head, not only for the groove and general pace but the fact I can end a 4 mile run with a sprint finish induced by the intro to Blood For Blood.
By the way, kudos to swizzlenuts for an original thread.

The only thing to listen to while working out is AC/DC.

Interesting.

I usealy listen thrash like sodom and Slayer or Death metal.
And very agressive metal to give more adrenalin.
And can´t go to gym if I don´t have mp3 player whit me.

Are you going to the gym during the mid-morning hours (9 a.m.-noon)? I noticed that the gym would do that to appease all the fucking hausfrauen that would be there working out.

I'm usually in the gym before 3 a.m., so when I do work out, they're usually playing mid-90's alterna-rock. Not necessarily my cup of tea - especially when I'm trying to lift, but I don't go bananas when I leave my Mp3 players at work.

Well I go to gym when I don´t have work.
Sometimes after the night shift.:zombie:
But still it´s stupid to go there if there is no metal.
I can only listen whitney houston when I´m drunk.

 

[cookiecutter]

The gym at my school is infested with gangstas I heard all the crappy hiphop hits so many times.

 

[C o L d]

trash metal is always fun while working out.

 

[Blinded By Blood]

I've been enjoying some katatonia on my runs lately

we put on the classic rock station as soon as the last person of color has left the weight room.

Nile and Outworld gets me going

 

[TylerTheNuke]

I prefer older metal and hard rock for working out. Growled vocals and blast beats cause me to push too hard and be whipped in twenty minutes or less.
