MY METAL WORKOUT, PART DEUX
Not long ago, Elise posted about the best music to workout to. Since I too am a bit of a gym rat, I had to also throw in my two cents on the matter. I totally understand how people listen to hip hop to pump up their workout (that and the fact that my gym is in… Harlem), but I listen to two different genres to get me through my gym experience: Hair/Glam metal & New Wave of American Metal/Foreign Thrash and Death
I find that Hair/Glam is best for my free weights and ab exercises. Stuff like:
- Poison
- Van Halen
- Motley Crue
- Lita Ford
And for cardio, it’s definitely that harder heavier and faster, the BETTER- specifically:
- Lamb of God “Sacrament” & “Killadelphia”
- Walls of Jericho “With Devils Amongst Us All”
- Meshuggah “ObZen”
- In Flames “Come Clarity”
- Pantera “Official Live: 101 Proof”
And of course, Slayer “Reign in Blood” Maybe RiB should release our own series of workout videos… it’s a thought. And then at the end of every tape we just go out and booze. Sounds good to me! This could be the beginning of something great?
