Aggression.

Thanks for the replies everyone, I've listened to most of the songs mentioned (repeatedly!) so I'm always searching for new material as I tend to 'learn' songs fairly quickly so they don't have the mental edge they did originally. I just got the new Disturbed album, threw that on my mp3 and had a pretty decent workout by any standard. I'll definitely try to check out some of the other songs I haven't heard yet.

Thanks again

IMO keeping it fresh helps a ton. I use to listen to heavy rock exclusively but then started mixing it up. Now I burn my lifting CDs with stuff that ranges from light rock to heavy rap because it seems to help me if it's something new that I havent listened to alot of.

I must be a bird of a different feather then. I like techno, house/rave type music when I lift. Not always but more times than not. Something up tempo with a beat thats repetitive so I can focus on tha task at hand and not caught paying attention to lyrics as they tend to destroy my mind and muscle connection.

If anyone cares, if I ever compete I think I'm going with a custom version of 4 Strings -- Diving (Cosmic Gate Remix) as my posing music.

I enjoy lifting more with music; that said, I actually do better when I focus in and tune everything out.

I find music most helpful during rest intervals. I rarely 'hear' whats playing during the set itself. In preparation for a set I draw intensity from the music and just fire it out.

Holla L-train.

Siege is good, along with others there. 'Terminator' and 'Vengeance' tracks are also on my playlist.

They are made by a person called 'Justin R. Durban' - motivational, film score (movie) style of music, of the type you would find in Arnie films, helps me feel most driven, and focused during my workouts.

Damn, what are you guys so mad about?
