What's everyone's favourite song while weight lifting? My absolute favourite, especially when doing the heavier weights, is the "This is where we fight" mix by Matheo (https://youtube.com/watch?v=SyZD6G1EiZQ). I may be only squatting 100 lbs but I feel like a spartan warrior. It's especially good if you time it so that when the "Man these shields boys!" line comes you're starting a set and then the reps are in sync with the warrior chants.

    I listen to Soca music, sometimes the coaches will play a DJ Private Ryan mix.

    Marilyn Manson is pretty good. Or Nine Inch Nails' Animals. Or this song called El Chapo. I forget who sings/raps that. Then other days I'll lift to some Beyonce lol

    Pretty much all of Volbeat. Warrior's Call is awesomely motivating.

    # especially for weight PRs
    * maybe not so great on higher-rep sets, as the tempo/time changes may throw off rhythm

    I've been listening to a lot of In This Moment since their new album dropped. This song in particular has been responsible for a few recent PRs:
