I use my mp3 player because here on brazilians gym's have a lot of bad song's, only psytrance and all this eletronic music, so on the gym allways i listen some slipknot, or something like that...
What you listen on the gym ?
I can live without it Kusanagi. Classic and Heavy are my favourite tunes..

Hell yea man, my gym always has shit music playing and they almost never change it when I ask them to. I just put on the headphones and turn up the metal. In Flames, Hatebreed, Pantera always get me in the mood.

If you like those bands you should check out In Flames, Underoath, Soilwork, Killswitch Engage, Lamb of God, I Killed The Prom Queen, and you might even like Dragonforce. It's more instramental but still pretty heavy. Those are pretty much all my favourite bands.
Stay strong,

I can't leave home without it!
Other than the crap music at the "fitness center" i workout at, i just need to be able to FEEL the music in my ears.
Gets me completely tuned in.

That's how my gym at home is. When I'm at school I gotta rock the ipod.

Aside from the crappy music normally being played, when in NYC, always wear earphones. Its a big "DO NOT DISTURB" sign around your neck. As if the crazy eyes, the hoody, and the constant sound of growling under your breath isn't enough already.
MP3 player is a must IMHO. AC/DC gets my blood boiling along w/about any hard stuff.
For a while never gave bringing an Ipod to the gym a thought. Was always afraid the wires would get caught cause I'm more focused on the lift than where the wires from my head are located.
However, a month or so ago, I decided to risk it. Could never be happier.
It's amazing what a little Hatebreed can do to help you lift.

I listen to my portable XM radio at the gym. I have the Pinoeer Inno and I love it......couldn't lift without it. My gym plays pretty crappy music.....can't get through a set of chest while listening to Brittney Spears.
Throw Down, Hate Eternal, Meshuggah, Gojira, The Ocean. The staple of MY mp3 player...

Try running the wires under your shirt. That's what I do and it helps keep them from getting tangles and ripping out of my ears while I'm deadlifting!!!

Oh man the music in my gym is terrible, it always pisses off the hardcore dudes. But i learned to stay focus during my training, I'll tell you honestly with out my mp3 and being focused the way I am my trainings have been better, and i cant even here the music when i train. I just concentrate on the muscles, and I also do a lot of visualization when i train. But other then that some metal wouldnt hurt while I train. Strength and Honor!

Ain't no use working out if I don't have my MP3. I got some heavy shiet on there too.
