so i havent found this yet but im sure theres a post for this but forgive me,wat do you listen to wen you train? wat genre and artists? or do you think its a bad idea to train with music and listen to yoyr surroundings? opinions

[Impetus]

Hmm I've tried training with headphones in and they usually fall out haha. But if I'm just messing around/training in my room I'll maybe put a CD on.

[josetheguitarist]

nice wat do u usually listen to?

[SLPK-Drake]

Usually i like to listen to something that i can move to, something that pumps me up and im sort of an Adrenaline junky so i listen to Trivium, Metallca, Bullet For My Valentine, Three Days Grace, Linkin Park, and other times ill listen to techno music or Le Parkour =)

[Impetus]

Paramore, Rise Against, and I tried Iron Maiden today and it turned out really good :) but usually just anything I want to hear again.

[SLPK-Drake]

To be honest Rise Against is good but its used too much but that doesnt mean you SHOULDNT use it im just putting that out there, but nice Iron Maiden i might try it out too...

[josetheguitarist]

haha couldnt agree more about rise against,i read that everywhere i like listening to stuff like the b52s,motley crue,dj shadow,coheed and cambria,flock of segulls,the prodigy,iron maiden,queens of the stone age,the crystal method,system of a down,tsunami bomb,unearth,the offspring,the rolling stones,dio,the doors,the human abstract and much much more

it really gets me pumped and motivated

What do you mean about "used too much?" How can something be used too much to help an individual train? That doesn't make any sense.

Personally I like to train with other people, we joke and mock each other to keep ourselves going. Not really a music training guy.

I like adrenaline. Doing parkour gets me adrenaline. Therefore, I'm driven to do parkour by doing parkour because it gets me adrenaline. Yay.

[josetheguitarist]

well i meant everyone uses rise against as their answer,i like them,and motivation just depends on the person anything can influence you,friends,family,music,nature or your surroundings

[Meatlad]

I just decided last week I'd start using my mp3 player while i train. I'm not sure what i'll use, but something with a tempo that's sustainable. Violent Femmes? Death Cab for Cutie?

[2nd Chance]

Today I did a workout to DevilDriver, and it worked wonders. If you're into metal, give it a try.

[josetheguitarist]

thnx for the tip 2nd

[lethalbeef]

Try something that's conducive to flow work. Gotta wait for headphones before I can bring music to training...

[josetheguitarist]

i try to focus on the surrounding cuz you never know what might come your way but at times i like to strap on my ipod or phone to my arm and just play music to get my blood flowing,its like that motivation post,its not a matter of losing motivation,and motivation isnt only from words but actions,there is no reason a person should lose motivation its just a case of mind over matter or failure to try
