Thoughts on heavy metal and the effects it has on the brain during lifting.

What do yall think? I like to think I get much more aggressive when I hear aggressive riffs and chops, but thats just me. Maybe music triggers dopamine to be released in the brain? :dj: oh and if ur 5,5,5 ... then im come on fellow maggots finish it for me :curse:
 
i love metal anyways in the gym its just fitting. Although now that i have a lifting partner again i dont really use my ipod anymore.
 
I listen to aggressive music in the gym as well. Keeps me pumped up and ready to go.

Here are some good bands for lifting:
Protest The Hero (They all shred on their instruments like no one I've ever heard)
He Is Legend
The Human Abstract
A Day To Remember
Sky Eat Airplane
In Fear And Faith
Alesana
Silverstein
A Skylit Drive (Just released a new album - Adelphia)
Haste The Day
Lovehatehero

That's a pretty good list of music that should get you going. I'm always looking for new bands though, anyone else have some to offer up?
 
just pound some lamb of god it will make you wanna punch the old grandma off the treadmill.
 
man I reallly hate my gym, Its like a yuppy gym playing all kidns of fruity pop music and shit, its segregated too between the fucking cardio whores ,machine wieners and the actual people that use the free weights.

Hahah very true dorian, I scare most people in my gym screaming my happy little head off doing deads and squats I almost cant listen to slipknot before i go to the gym I turn into a mindless machine .... need to lift mwuahhahaha
 
hell the look in my eye when I'm listening to Slayer's God Hates Us All is enough to deter people from me...that's a good thing, now I don't have to spend time talking to them and I can get something done

I know I'm going to sound like an asshole here, but I hate making friends in the gym-next thing you know they want to spend 30 minutes yapping with you in the middle of your workout.

never was big into the yelling and slamming weights down though
I try to keep a low profile

sound exactly like me, even when i do rack pulls i put towels on the pins so its not loud when it comes down. I hate people staring at me and if they do i just glare at them and usually thats the end of it lol.
 
yeah pretty soon it's all gonna be planet fitness everywhere you go

people just hanging around sitting on benches not even lifting weights-new rule will be, if you touch the weights you will be asked to leave

hey that's what I should do...start going to bars and other places of social gathering and bring in a pair of dumbbells and start lifting weights...when someone ask me what are you doing, tell them their was too many people in my gym socializing so I had to come here to lift weights-maybe I'll record it and put it on YouTube:D

to them I'll look like the biggest fucking idiot in the world but that's what assholes in the gym talking on their cell phones look like to me:arcade:
 
^^ haha i loled reading that. Me and my workout partner walked in the gym the other day and there were about 8 people sitting on the benches talking and taking turns doing some ghey exercise. 8 of them remember lol. Walked in and filled up my water bottle right next to them and my buddy looks at me and says what are we doing today, i said were gonna sit on the fuckin bench and talk like little schoolgirls and look like pudgy idiots. My friend spit his water out and every one of them just kinda looked at me 3 minutes later they all rolled out lol. People are so stupid.
 
Yes, yes they are I actually have a captain six pack at my gym believe it or not, usually when i get off work all i wanna do is pig out and lift and for the past 2 weeks or so he keeps bothering me so I finally snapped and told him off must have looked fun to everyone else big 200+ guy getting told to get the fuck out of the free weight section by a measly 150 pounder. Seriously tho im getting sick of the fucking yuppys in the gyms damnit!
 
I wish I had heard of mushroomhead before slipknot I like em both but neither of them have anything on Pantera ;P

I dont listen to any music when I lift, and I could never tell you what the gym is playing cause I just tune it out in my head. I honestly dont think I would lift as hard if I had a IPOD stuck in my hears, seems like it would just disract me from focusing on lifting and pushing myself.

that is by far the perfect analogy! ... and i'd love to see it on youtube... a 'social distortion' experiment...
 
Screw it imma do it next time im in H town just for shits in giggles my sis will probably bash me over the head with the weight tho so im gonna start the help irish recover fund right now....
 
the bouncers probably wouldn't let you in.. figuring you're carrying a weapon.... but at least get the bouncers on video to see what they say about it... that shit would be funny as hell...
 
Lol imma go to a bar/club where she knows the owners but ur probably right imma try anyway and see the looks on the bouncers faces when they ask why I did it :)
