    Default Do any of you listen to music while training/lifting?

    I just can't get myself to anymore, it feels so pointless.

    I listen to the bodybuilding motivation videos on my phone while I lift.

    Yourself?

    I used to not be able to lift without my iPod but I realized I was getting too dependent on it so I went a few weeks without it and felt alot better about my mind-muscle connection.

    I finally realized I was just used to the lyrics of the songs, so I just made a playlist with nothing but classical orchestra music and techno stuff that was basically just background music. Workouts have been great and most importantly is that ppl see the headphones in and leave me the fuck alone in the gym!!! Haha

    I used to be a member of USA Gym in Chicago, Illinois

    Loved that gym, but cannot afford driving back and forth (Lived roughly a half an hour away) with gas going so high.

    As long as the music in the gym isn't unbearable or all distorted, I'm fine with it.

    I can't train with headphones...I get easily distracted by the music and start losing track of reps and such. I credit that to my ADD!

    Instead, I get my intensity on with the music I blast in my car on the way to the gym.
