Studies shows you lift more with music than without

[Bluto]

yes i was looking through this months, or perhaps last months issue of muscle and fitness or it might've been an older issue, anyway there was this studie that with music people lifted more - yes!

so my guess is next will be that the type of music youre listening to makes a difference as well. what can we learn from this? well for starters we should all be starting to lift to music. next we might need to cycle music so trick the body. and we also need to found out which music makes us lift the most.

im thinking of country western myself. i see myself as a cowboy and the open range. a killer of indians and a gunslinger. all this works very well with the country western music i got blasting in my headphones (igrado, editors choice, stereoplay magazine, germany)

thanks for listening.

my best lifts are at home with no music no nothing

music makes you:

pause more between sets
hard to life slow and controlled with a good fast song playing
if your doing a set of 12 reps and the song ends by number 6 it fucks everything up
your busy waiting for the next song to start or current to end

like i said best non stop serious controlled workouts for me was with no music

Music actually lowers testosterone in males. When you listen to music, even hard rock music, it has a soothing effect which actually lowers testosterone. Testosterone increases with stress and when music decreases stress, testosterone in response actually decreases.

Here's a study showing music has a negative effect on testosterone.

It's hard for me to lift WITHOUT music ... especially on a Squat/Deadlift Day.

"Too"? Where was I proven wrong in the past? Do you have anything relevant to say about the study I posted?

Its easier to focus on lifts when you can zone everyone out and certain songs can pump you up to lift heavier.

Metallica songs help you to deadlift more! No joke.

Clanging weights is music to my ears.

Seriously there's no comparison, music all the way. The better it is the more it helps.

Studies also show that music makes you drive faster, it clearly speeds up the metabolism when it's good.
