How many of you don't listen to music when training.
« on: December 12, 2007, 12:25:47 PM »
At the old world gym in Venice there was no music.  Vince Gironda didn't allow music in his gym in studio city.  I got my mp3 stolen, and I've since been not listening to any music.  A nice change actually.

I don't listen to music much when I'm training.

Yep. That's pretty much my answer to that question.  ;D

The new Gym I'm training is the first gym I have ever trained were I actually want to talk to the people, the gym has some awesome Powerlifters and hardcore lifters just people who have fun and love to move weight.

They have radio in the background but I don't even mind that.

Um, my gym has 2 floors. The upstairs has music, the down stairs does not. One time I tried to bring my ipod to the gym, but the damn wire always gets in the way! Even when I tuck it under my shirt, the wire feels weird against my body. Yes,  I am weird lol.......

An mp3 player always seemed to get in the way with me.  I tried a couple times but never liked the hassle.  I feel its easier for me to focus without it anyway.

I'm enjoying the hell out of your mp3 player.

You did have some bullshit on it.  I had to format it and put my own jams on there.

Good looking out, brah.

whatever is playing i the gym is what im forced t listen to.   
during the day they have some bullshit playing..its always on "top 20 on 20" (if any one is familiar with xm radio). but at night my friend steve that works the front desk will turn up the volume a bit and play some good house/trance music... that stuffs works well for working out.

I always bring an mp3 player... hate the music the gym plays and it stops people from bugging you for advice or a spot... well most of the time.

Well, I really don't mind music, but when I bring my ipod, the wire gets in the way. Now, if they invented a wireless ipod, that would be a whole different story!

i know, i'm just talking about these Animal Pak wannabe's who try to pull off the Animal Pak ads in the gym when they weigh half as much, are using a third of the weight those guys use and are basically little bitches.

the strongest dude i've ever known in my life was the biggest joker in the gym, always smiling and laughing and joking around with people and could push 500 for 4 reps on the bench, barbell military 315 for full range and squat 700 for 5-6, if he can do it anyone can do it, it's your strength and size that make you hardcore not some phony tough guy attitude.

Id just rather not have that shit blasting in my ears and little ear phones falling out half the time. Extreme annoyance. Music during cardio is a life saver though, wont do it without it.

I agree totally, but some people just want to get in and out of the gym quickly.. others like to hang around for hours a.k.a gym rats...
