being in the gym without music is the most depressing thing, i just went home

[DroppingPlates]

Agreed. You will find you will focus more on each rep.

The absence of continuous noise makes many people restless; they're addicted to it, which -IMO- is pretty sad...

[ozman]

I have just bought these ones, Plantronics Backbeat 903 + 
can't wait to use them.

I have these

Pretty good sound

[ESFitness]

no just tuck it into the loops on your weight belt, I do this everytime, works perfectly

I don't think my phone will fit into my belt. lol. the loops are pretty tight. Single-prong 10mm Inzer.

of course, I don't wear a belt anymore since I moved away from PLing. 

[dj181]

yup

what kind of tunes do you listen to while training brother?

Hahahaha classic

The ipod shuffle is tiny and you can clip on anywhere. The puma "El Diego" earbuds block out surrounding noise and sound surprisingly well with a good bass.

The things that give you a headache..

You must not like doing squats either...

LOL, don't get me wrong! I would not follow all of his advices, like performing sissy squats or eating eggs & steak all day long, but he had interesting ideas. I still have those Ironman mags with his interviews, guy could be a top notch Getbigger.

[delta9mda]

If you hear what other people are talking about in your gym then you are not focusing on the job at hand.
Ever see Yates or Ronnie with headphones?

Insane enough to be one that's for sure.

I don't know about yates but Ronnie had whatever music he wanted at the gym all day long...

That's a good point, you need to force yourself to focus.

Yeah but those guys are unapproachable to an average gym goer. Not many people are likely to interrupt them while training.

[dj181]

a black guy who likes country

Only on top of your mom.

Your commitment to iron is unsurpassed. Work ethic of the Gods.

That's true, but I've found an easy technique to avoid this as much as possible: just stare to the floor during your sets. A huge headphone will also help
