A good soundtrack for weightlifting is very different from one for faster-paced cardio exercises.  When there is a pile of weight on top of you that&#8217;s going to fall on your head if you don&#8217;t lift it up, music that makes you want to dance or sing-along is&#8230; counter-productive.<\/p>\n<p>So, I&#8217;ve compiled my own list off of my existing playlist.  I try to dig up more music that fits the mold, but these are, currently, my top 10 favorites.  Most of the music on this list is not music I listen to in any other context.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/musics?lid=GjgvVoRG6oI&#038;aid=gSA3Vzs2X-N&#038;sid=8n4pbq7Z86O\">Adema &#8211; The Way You like it<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/musics?lid=wsmfEBRn0n&#038;aid=5BDq79urrzC&#038;sid=jj6tHrsvx6L\">Godsmack &#8211; I Stand Alone<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/musics?lid=d7rZC9lFx3N&#038;aid=MUzV4ahzkpF&#038;sid=yxJvB92cNYF\">System of a Down &#8211; Chop Suey!<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/musics?lid=3UikercbIJC&#038;aid=dl8Ji5uGeNL&#038;sid=_3o8LQusksD\">Linkin Park &#8211; Numb<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/musics?lid=xCdKT5ES3sO&#038;aid=zDhcVkHCWzC&#038;sid=Fq_MR9MQidH\">Drowning Pool &#8211; Bodies<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/musics?lid=kefEFZNY5HP&#038;aid=0etJSLYi_dE&#038;sid=zItOEOYMW1H\">Disturbed &#8211; Down with the Sickness<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/musics?lid=wsmfEBRn0n&#038;aid=5BDq79urrzC&#038;sid=Ff6hL3q5YNI\">Godsmack &#8211; Re-Align<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/musics?lid=dXajcP-C0JM&#038;aid=NlB4TKIu4hI&#038;sid=A1KMqCvnI4I\">Korn &#8211; Freak On a Leash<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/musics?lid=W2CVulQK7cO&#038;aid=_UoEgVdkM7F&#038;sid=FMVEzg0kyiH\">Rammstein &#8211; Du Hast<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/musics?lid=xCdKT5ES3sO&#038;aid=zDhcVkHCWzC&#038;sid=cFiI4j_8UcC\">Drowning Pool &#8211; I Am<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>They&#8217;re songs that are fairly hard, but aren&#8217;t the unintelligible death metal kind.  The rest of my playlist is almost all Godsmack.  Overall I find their music the most motivating.  I could use some more variety though.  All suggestions welcome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was curious what the intarwebs thought were the best songs to lift weights to, and was disturbed that at each turn I would find songs like &#8220;Eye of the Tiger&#8221; on the list.
