Best song to train to?

Sighs. . I give up. .

[seany85]

Song?! How 'bout just training? Maybe I'm showing my age, but I find it juvenile to say the least that everything has to be accompanied by theme music these days. Turn off the damn radio and work!

[adacas]

oh come on now jubaji. Don't act like you don't like to get down and jiggy with it while your training. I bet you were know for cutting the rug back in the day. lol

Only to properly adjust it to fit the dimensions of the room.

Music gives you a rythym to follow and move around. I like it for calesthenics and bsgwork. I'm not really fond of it when I'm sparring/grappling.

I have a playlist of Eye of the tiger, Seven nation army, Lose yourself, going the distance, and TNT. It's duration is about as long as my routine on a good day. I can then go running or swimming, but without the music.

"Music gives you a rythym to follow and move around." Exactly the reason you SHOULD NOT follow music. In a fight you should set a rhythm yourself. You do not want to follow the rhythm of the other person. Once you set the rhythm and the other person is following it you can break it and it will be harder for them to react.

That is a good point. However, music helps to increase motivation for many people. I am sure that it doesn't help for EVERYBODY, and some people prefer to train in silence. But music has helped me to increase my aggression and pump me up when I do my muay thai rounds. I don't keep a "rhythm" to the music, but certain songs really get me in the mood to train hard. I really like Prodigy and Linkin Park.

I have listened to music when doing rep exercise training, like circuit or bag work... I find that William orbit is good for a cool down or just maintaining my wavering concentration when I'm on what feels like that millions (20th ) pushup.

I also found that the matrix soundtrack is great fore getting pumped before a fight...
