Greetings All,
Question: What is the most motivating music in the gym? I did an impromptu survey the other day and most of the gym and found that most of the hard core lifters had hip-hop or gangsta rap on their ipods. I suppose what ever gets you worked up is what's right for you. I would just like to see someone with more unusual tastes musically. At least the older generation of lifters did show a tendency to go with heavy metal.
As a true nerd myself, I have always had.....shall we say.....unconventional tastes musically. However I find that anything with over 200 beats per minute is great for cardio. I personally go with the early to mid 90's club beat. (What kind of nerd would I be if I wasn't at least a little out of style?) I also believe any monster ballad is good to cool down with.
Secondly, What is it with the "Beats by Dr. Dre" headphones while you are working out? Come on people. These things weigh like 25 lbs. These may be the "in thing", but to my eyes in the gym they just make people look stupid. Ear buds, ear hooks, or anything else that isn't so intrusive. If you are so focused on having the perfect sound from your headphones, I would think that you are not paying enough attention to your workout.

This is the chronicle of my progress towards becoming a true muscle nerd. I am working towards a transformation from out-of shape awkward myopic nerd to muscular awkward myopic nerd. Here I will post my progress, random thoughts and personal accounts for the world to see.
For me, I actually prefer happy music over angry music. I'm more likely to listen to J-rock and video game music when working out than any sort of rap.
