I´m surprised there´s no thread on this:
What do you listen to when you hit the weights?

My main music during my spare time is electro/progressive dance.
But when I workout I have to listen to heavy metal to get me pumped to lift weights.
During a typical session I'll listen to any of the following:
- Disturbed
- Drowning Pool
- Saliva
- Machine Head
- Breaking Benjamin
And throw in a few random songs from Papa Roach like Bloodbrothers - my personal favourite workout song or Pendulum.

All right the best work out music for me is Tupac, just bump All Eyez on Me from start to finish, I guarantee you'll have a kick ass workout.

Lesser known band but: Russian Circles.
There harder songs are great for lifting ala Station or Harper Lewis
There chiller songs are great for spacing out during long runs.
If you like drumming, Turncratz is about the best around these days.

Cool thread, I want more ideas on this!
Any electronica?
I'm looking for testosterone-ridden music. I like metal as well.
Look for Trance Control's songs, they are available to download by torrent, there is a torrent of 42 files, they will blow your mind. They are from late 90's early 2000's they make electronic music of today look amateur and boring.

I have a set playlist that I change every week. Mostly hip-hop and (for lack of a more descriptive term) rock. Lately it's been alot of Chevelle and E-40. One things picked up up while doing sleep research was the idea of pre/post workout songs. Basically listen to the exact same song every time you are about to workout and every time your done. Helps get your body and mind into focus. Works perfectly for me beacause I have a 4 minute walk to/from the gym.

I usually just play an album straight through. Lately it's been these:
Mars Volta - The Bedlam In Goliath
Coheed & Cambria - Good Apollo Volume I.
Megadeth - Rust In Peace
Metallica - Master Of Puppets
Behemoth - Evangelion
Between The Buried & Me - The Great Misdirect
I usually play music that stays relentless throughout.
