Weight lifting CD

[Freeform]

Right ho!

The task at hand is to make a CD lasting between 45-60 mins to lift weights to. The CD should start off with some music for warming up, tunes for lifting and then some music to stretch off to.

The music should help inspire you throughout the highs and lows normally experienced when lifting weights (meaning we need a real kick ass tune round about the half hour mark).

Over to you, gimme your list (tracks and artists) in the order you'd have them and why. :D

Hmm, I don't have a particular CD that I usually listen to. But I usually find that something very testosteroney is good motivation. Something like Pantera is good for me, or if I'm feeling really psyked then i might go for The Berzerker or Decapitated or Nile or something like that.

I vouch for: Pantera - 5 Minutes Alone
(around the half hour mark)

I do like a little bit of Disturbed, probably around the 40 min mark for that last big set.

Warm up to:

the verve: lucky man
radiohead: street spirit
incubus: 11 am

mild rocky tracks to get in the mood for a bit of work, building up then move to for the lifting phase:

scars of life: bullet with your name
12 stones: crash
soil: halo
drowning pool: bodies
Limp bizkit: break stuff (kick ass tune to grunt to!)
Alice in chains: them bones

pure guitar heaven for the bad attitude needed to work hard

then into the stretch:

Moby: everloving
massive attack: teardrop
faithless: insomnia

chill out stuff to ease the mind back to a relaxed stretch.

That is what i would train to :D

Hmm, I'd change some of the stretching tunes, maybe a bit of Alien Ant Farm :)

Just make a compilation from all the best rocky tunes! Doesn't get more inspirational than that, haha! :D Seriously though, they're cool to work out to, even if it is a bit cheesy.

Why don't we throw in the Karate kid song whilst we're at it :p

If anyone says any one song from the Rocky movies I'm going to be very upset.

haha, magic. You can't tell me that you watch him running up those stairs and hitting it hard in the gym, and don't feel like you really wana go train! :D

I usually just throw on the Metallica - Black Album when i train, but maybe i should make a weight-lifting cd too... Drowning pool - Bodies is a must then ... Damn that is one song that gets me psyched (that and them rocky training songs, Da dada DA dada DA dada Dhoooo )
