I reserve the metal for deadlift and squat days. Occassionally, I toss it in on upper body days too, when I feel like lobbing explitives at the mirror after pounding out a set (thank you all for your input, BTW. Some of the recent additions to my melting pot have been quite inspirational indeed).
But on most days, I just like to toss a mix of pop and hard rock on the system. My musical tastes run the gamut, from cheesey 80's synth pop to death-metal. If you want a few laughs, most of these tracks are pure Oblivion cheese, but they seem somehow appropriate:
"Be Good to Yourself" by Journey
"Walkin' on Sunshine" by Katrina & the Waves
"Take on Me" by A-Ha
"Kyrie" by Mr. Mister
"Big Time" by Peter Gabriel
"Heaven in My Hands" by Level 42
"Panama" by Van Halen
"Higher Ground" by Red Hot Chili Peppers
"Tuff Enough" by The Fabulous Thunderbirds
"Workin' for a Livin'" By Huey Lewis & The News
"Point of No Return" by Nu Shooz
"Desire" by U2
"Roll with the Changes" by REO speedwagon
"We Built this City" by Jefferson Starship
"Human NRG" by The Shamen
"Always on the Run" by Lenny Kravitz
"Devil Inside" by INXS
"Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor - DON'T GIVE ME THAT SMIRK!
EVERY man who grew up watching "Rocky" movies has secretly played this one on his headphones during a workout at least ONCE, HA HA HA HA
Yes, that's me in my avatar, and NO, I don't look like that today. That was taken back in Jan '07, and I lost most of that progress when I slacked off last year. I'm on my way back, tho, and I'm using that photo for inspiration.
