Preworkout I like to collect my thoughts, visualize how my workout will go, and meditate. For that I'll listen to Bach, Barber, Albinoni, Yo-Yo Ma etc. This is usually in my car on the way to the gym, in the locker room and as i hit the weightroom floor warming up with some light stretches.
While lifting I like similar classical music that has been remixed into trance, dubstep, techno etc. I like the moments of calm and serenity and the build up just before the beat drops... thats when it's time to hit it hard.

As I'm about to complete my workout I'll put on some Adele or Sia. This is wind down time. I finish off with this type of music while I'm stretching and foam rolling in the posing room. Not much thinking is done during this time... just that postworkout feel good high. Calmness. Oneness. Love.
