I wear headphones for the same reason... It's just as much to help focus/concentrate as it is to avoid the people who go to the gym just to talk.

Just Pantera right now. I was thinking of throwing some Rage Against the Machine into the mix.

does anybody know if there are any companies that make wireless headphones, and are relatively cheap? i fuckin hate it when my cord gets caught on things and the head phones get ripped out of my ears. shit happens almost daily.

 

[cwick0]

Headphones...pain in the ass, but not anymore than all the folks talking to me.

[bigdho]

Well Ill tell you what, music is the hardest thing to manage. In the begining I would play the kind of thing I like much like what was listed and I got so many old ladies bitchin I made my head spin. SO I played some of the kind of thing they like then every one else started bitchin. In the end you cant please everyone and guys like us are the minority by a long shot so britney spears it is. BUT I did do one thing that seems to be workin, between the hours of 9 pm to 11 pm its nothin but loud hard metal and we built a whole promotion around it so it didnt take the old fuckers long to figure out not to be there after 9. We are becoming THE place for bodybuilders and serious lifters mainly because of that.

[ghettostudmuffin]

I have to deal with Britney Spears and N'sync crap all the time. That's all they play at my gym.

They should institute a policy like your's at my gym where after 9pm it's heavy metal for the rockers, and hard gangsta rap for the hip-hop guys. SAy a 50/50 split. Either will get you pumped up for lifting. They both create that pumped vibe. Oh ya, and the music gets turned up louder.

On the otherhand, once I start lifting I don't even hear the music generally or barely notice it. I kinda zone out, and it's the last thing I'm thinking of when I'm lifting the weight.

But it would be nice to have some non-bitchified music blaring.

 

[Dieharder]

i really hate house and techno, but heavy hard and fast techno and house i can workout too, also Nine Inch Nails, Hard rap, etc.

 

[musclebosun]

any of you boys train to aussie rockers ac/dc? It'[s right up their with metallica [pre load and reload shit]

 

[Carl Carlson]

does anybody know if there are any companies that make wireless headphones, and are relatively cheap? i fuckin hate it when my cord gets caught on things and the head phones get ripped out of my ears. shit happens almost daily.

I run the cord from the headphones down the inside of my shirt to avoid that. I haven't had any problems with it getting snagged on anything that way.

 

[cwick0]

It's getting awfully winding in here.

[EnderJE]

Every notice how gyms...sorry, family fitness centers choose their music?

I swear, I done more PRs to Kenny G and Celine Dion then to GNR.

 

[Illuminati]

I run the cord from the headphones down the inside of my shirt to avoid that. I haven't had any problems with it getting snagged on anything that way.

i have an mp3 player that i have attached to a cord around my neck. i sweat so fuckin much when i work out that if i tucked the whole thing into my shirt, the sweat would get to the mp3 player, and destroy it. (this is how i broke my first mp3 player.) good suggestion though...

 

[Griz1]

The worst is the day I walked into the weight room and, I kid you not, some idiot had tuned the radio to CBC radio 2 (for non-Canadians that's classical and/or opera). Since there was one guy in there, I knew it was him. He left after 20 minutes, and I dove for the radio dial...

Either that or the guys that tune it to a country station...sheesh!

Throw a dictionary at them and make em look up the word M O T I V A T I O N!

I really find it a hassle to put headphones on and to remember my walkman and carry it around etc... I don't even use headphones on the running machines and we have great tv at my gym. So I just read the subtitles or watch a soccer game etc while running or on the treadmill not that I can concentrate after my first ten minutes of cardio anyway so it doesn't really matter.

To put headphones on while lifting weights would be too uncomfortable for sure.

I'm lucky though that my gym has good music usually.
If it is not crappy house wich they sometimes have on, the rest of the time they have ok or even good house and trance.
Also, they bring in a DJ every evening for like a 4 hour set. Thats how a "trendy" gym in Tel aviv operates.

 

[JKurz1]

OK....now that we've totally gone off topic, let's get back to the original post.......no one really cares how uncomfortable your freaking headphones are.......bros want to know what new music is out there to rock to..............

 

[Allon]

Chill, man.

 

[JKurz1]

I'm chilled.............start your own thread if you want to discuss your tv shows.....

Yep, not all gym's but my one does, it is kinda trying to be trendy. But you will not get Btirney in most gyms.
Most gyms have house or trance.
Israel is the trance capital of the world.

Jkurz, if you are chilled then my mistake. I guess you are just immature.
Lighten up.

Thanks for the red karma Jkurz, not that I care but you are really really aggressive. Relax, Chill, Don't take it so personally. They are not your threads. We are all here to discuss and have fun. I didn't mean to go off subject. I was just being friendly and saying what I thought about the subject. Not everyone is ever gonna play by whatever "Rules" you have in your head...
