Hi Mr Punch,

You might want to take a look at some '70's disco like Donna Summer. Much of it has a clear beat that makes it like listening to a chromatic metronome.

How about the theme to Scarface it's beginning is more that enough to get someone into the zone. Check it out:

ACDC can be good, but not that big a metaller... tho it did remind me to look out some Motorhead, who for some reason always got me going more than other metal, thanks! I tried that Eminem: 'nice' but no way I could train to it.

i like that AC/DC for the bagpipes and the increasing tempo through the song.

i frakking HATE 'm&m' ...just kinda think he's a punk who needs to get a real job and stop whining. but, those two songs work for me.

Ska does it for me the most...keep in mind that ska is largely upbeat tempo w/ depressing lyrics...the juxtaposition is part of why I like it so much.

but, i also listen to a lot of funk/hip hop and anything that mixes that with other genres works for me. i don't need the strict tempo/bpm of a song to drive me, most often a slower/bottom end groove makes me try to get more reps in between the beat...my mind focuses on the slower groove/funk beat while the body kicks some ass.

so, lots of Tribe, J5, De La Soul, Gorillaz. Funny, I've burned a couple of CD's for the CF gym and they have tended to flop...no one likes to train funky.

I used to listen to a lot more electronic: K&D, Chemical Bros., etc. but it all got a bit redundant. I def have to have an influx of new music on a regular basis, esp. stuff that crosses/mixes genres...gives me a look at the bigger picture.

so, to paraphrase Zimmern: 'If is sounds good, listen to it'.

I used to also. For one fight, I walked out to "tough guy" by crystal method.

do you really wanna hurt me is actually an awesome song. I can't train to it, but I do have a lot of culture club songs in my non gym rotations.

I find this stuff to help me to stop thinking and keep pushing

became a fan of 30 seconds to mars today... they will be added to the playlist.

**Mr Punch** · 01-12-2011, 06:54 AM

So discovered Marilyn Manson and Rob/White Zombie big time, and mostly just use them, but ...

Rammstein's Du Hast from The Matrix still does it,
Supermoves from Overseer,
Under Control from Freeland,
some One Inch Punch,
the Spawn, Matrix, Blade and Blade 2 soundtracks,
Back Drop Bomb (Japanese alt metal, vaguely reminiscent of No Means No),
specifically the Fixed EP from NIN, plus some from Downward Spiral,
Power from Ice T,
The Roots (marv - new discovery for me),
Extreme Ways (various mixes of the song from the Bourne soundtrack), plus Lift Me Up, Raining Again, Beautiful, and strangely down tempo and soft, Where You End,
oh, and masses of Ministry.

But basically, Manson, Zombie and Ministry.

Happy New Year, anyone who's still here!

Hi Mr Punch,

I got a more contemporary since you've been away.

I get serious energy rushes from this nowadays:
