Lately I've been listening to UK "grime" style hip-hop when I work out, stuff like Dizzee Rascal, Wiley, etc. I just got the "Run the Road" compilation CD that has a lot of good tracks on it. The beats are rough so it gets me pretty pumped up
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Theses kinds of music have positive effects on me too. I don't use iPod or Walkman, I find them distracting but the music they play in the gym is some techno gay sh|t that's why I have to tune myself out while working out.

Official Lifters' Tune Thread
There seems to be a growing number of people checking out this part of the forum. With WBA, EFFORT, A_Unit and others making a regular appearance and offering their assistance, it seems like more and more people are realizing that a strong healthy you, is a happy you. I'm hoping you guys (meaning everyone) will be equally excited in helping compile a list of tunes to bust out during a workout.
I'm hoping to update this frequently, adding to the list, possibly even making a "webpage" with the listings on there. Of course they would be organized by Genre>Artist>Song to make searching a little bit easier.
If you're wanting to add a song to the list, be my guest. Try to follow this layout to make it simple for me. Thanks guys
Genre(Rock, Rap, Metal, Hard Sh*t, etc.): Artist Name - Song Name
I'll toss out a few ones right now...I'm plenty sure I'll add more as the day goes on.
Rock: Rob Zombie - Demonoid Phenomenon
Rock: Rammstein - Links 234
Metal: Static-X - I Am
Metal: Static-X - Push It
***I understand that not everybody will agree with the music selection, and I am sure that there is enough maturity here to have a civil discussion. Some people don't like Rap, some people don't like Metal, et cetera, but for the sake of everybody here, and for the sake of keeping this thread open, try not to start a flame war over somebody's music selections.

The Rocky Soundtrack works for me.
Otherwise some hard and fast psychedelic trance (Hallucinogen, Space Cat, Filteria, Misted Muppet)
But I generally think that music with a fast and hard vibe works well. Can't imagine getting much motivation listening to Enya whilst lifting.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

HAHA!!! A girl I was "seeing" bought me St Anger as a present, I scanned through it once, said "What is this sh*t" and never played it again...Throttle said:
When I'm doing a work out I put on a whole heap of stuff on random. I have some party type r&b dancey sort of stuff (think "you got served" music) some 3rd eye blind, metallica live stuff, disturbed, Winger (yes, that's right I said Winger), and of course some AC/DC ("gone shootin" has a great tempo for dumbell exercises)
