My Top 10 Best Training Songs
By Elliott | October 8, 2008
This morning I sat down to create a video on Marketing Tips for Strength Coaches and Trainers…
as I was completing my 4 min talk, the freakin battery died on my Flip Cam.
So, instead of getting pissed - I just hopped on You Tube and grabbed clips of my favorite records to train to.
Check out my favorites below (in no particular order), then tell me what you like to listen to when bustin’ up the weights in your gym. I’ll be sure to respond to your posts (as I just figured out how) and comment of the cray stuff that you listen to!
WARNING - If you are offended by harsh language, don’t watch these videos. If you like to get a little crazy when you train HARD… rock on!
Comments At The Bottom Of This Post.
A Milli - by Lil Wayne
Lose Yourself - by Eminem

Get Buck - by Young Buck
Break Stuff - by Limp Bizkit
Party Up - by DMX
Ante Up - by MOP
Bombtrack - by Rage Against The Machine

This list is by no means conclusive… in fact, I may change my mind tomorrow. But, these are great training songs no the less!

I like your weight training ideas. One good thing about exercising and body building each generation can relate to the next generation. As far as your selection of music for me it sucks. If you play that kind of music in your gym, I would not come even though I like your body building methods. This music to me is a downer. I need something that lifts me up. I can get down without having help form down music or down instructors. However, if this kind of music lifts you up and puts your mind where it needs to be for best results in your workouts, more power to you. It is just not for me.

Paulmort, I’m feelin’ you on the Tiesto
OK, I’m probably gonna date myself with these, but what the hell, music and training are my passions! So to all the young bucks out there…I used to DJ and my tastes are EXTREMELY eclectic. So sit back, relax, and learn somethin’! Good music is good music, regardless of genre.
Here’s a good list of jams that are constantly in my rotation, on the iPod, during workouts.

Haha! These are some great comments! Looks like you guys know more about music than me for sure.
@ PaulMort - DMX, Foo Fighters, Eminem fa sho! i gotta check out that “adagio for strings” - it must be a killer!
@ James - Haha, I hear you! Those songs are pretty angry. I listen to them when I gotta get angry too. At home its strictly “Happy Songs” and Cartoons. Jot down your list of training songs, I’d love to hear what I’m missing out on!
@ Matt - YOU ARE SERIOUS!!! what a kick ass list, though you do date yourself, I’m 29 and I still listen to young punk music when training. I did grow up listenin to the suff on your list though.
I shold have added those Rage Against songs ya got on there too.
Thanks!!!!

OH YEA! and I fogot to mention that Iv’e got a rule at Strength Camp…
Who ever brings their iPod or CDs gets to plug it in. So, we only train to what YOU want to hear.
BUT, if you bring nothing… then its 50 Cent & Disturbed!
October 8th, 2008 at 11:09 am
Not bad! I appreciate your effort in writing this
October 8th, 2008 at 12:01 pm
E

Some great hip hop E, especially Milli (got that on my ipod). But you need some work with Rock.
How bout
Shine down: I dare you
Disturbed: Indestructible
Avenged Sevenfold: After Life
Linkin Park: Bleed it Out
And hip hop song that rocks
Eminem: Till I Collapse
October 8th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
@ Chris Grayson - you’re right dude, I love Rock but I just don’t know too much about it. I grew up listening to rap and hip hop in my neighborhood. So, it’s what I know… but I love Linkin Park, Avenged and Disturbed!

The fact that pantera was not mentioned over the 12 comments so far is kinda sad
anything on the “vulger display of power” album, especially “walk” and “fucking hostile”
“cowboys from hell”
“Tears dont fall”, “hit the floor”, “no easy way out”"- bullet for my valentine
anything older by atreyu
“brothers of metal”, “warriors of the world”- Man-o-war
“The guillotine” escape the fate.
Ill stop here! So many good training songs that get you focused
