My Top 5 Lifting Tracks

Here are the tracks I go back to time and time again when I want to get hyped up for a big lift or just want to train and have a good time.  In reverse order of my favourite / most listened too.

Track 5 - Eminem - Till I colapse

Why? Dat build up and starting speech.

Best for? When you need a 30-40 seconds to get yourself in the right mindset for a hard rep set.

Track 4 - Machine Head Imperium

Why? Again it's got a great build up but it's a lot longer than track 5 so if you need to do your taxes or organise a mortgage before your set it's ideal.  Alternatively you can get your belt, chalk on and have a good psych up.

Best For? Balls out squat or deadlift sets.

Track 3 - Sisquo Thong Song

Why? It started off as a bit of a joke on some lifting sessions that I would piss about and have a joke that I was lifting to this RnB train wreck from 2000.  However I have maxed out so many times to this song now it actually gets me in the mental routine to lift and I kind of like it anyway.

Best for? Squats and ass lovers

Track 2 - MOP - Background niggaz

Why? Because I need some tracks that I can listen to and not have a brain tumour listening to them, metal looses it's impact if you listen to it I find.  I like hip hop a lot but there isn't a lot of good agressive tunes I like to listen to.  This track is one of the better ones.

Best for? Day to day training music. 

Track 1 - Slipknot - Sic (including intro)

Why? Because after the intro if you have this bad boy on loud in your headphones you'll want to drop kick baby Jesus.  

Best For? 1 RMs or When you really need a kick up the arse.
