Anybody else rawdog your weight lifting?
No music.
No podcasts.
No audiobooks.
Just counting of repetitions fueled by your hated of The Man?

This is the way 🫡
I do 100 burpees like this in the garage
Always. And when I run the same, I just need to listen to my mind being controlled.
Mad lad.

Yessir! Mainly because I can't focus on the mind muscle connection and contraction if I'm trying to focus elsewhere.
I used to lift at City Athletic Club here in Vegas which was a pretty legendary bodybuilding gym and very few of those guys and gals did either. So know you're in good company.
Yes, much easier to keep the intensity consistent that way.
Only problem is the anoying gym music.
We go to a starting strength gym (highly recommend) and it’s coach’s choice. Our last one liked “both kinds of music, country and western!”
My friend was shocked to hear that I rawdog running
Just me, my thoughts, and the next step
Depends what I'm doing. This morning I did a 20 minute armor building complex amrap in silence.
Just me, the back porch, the weather, and the weight. Best part of many days.
I alway do group exercises and the instructor usually plays hip hop. However my brain is excellent at filtering so i don't consciously hear it.
I do hear my brain going "The fuck you doing man? You really gotta do this? You could also be at home chilling! This is too heavy! We gotta do a few less reps."
The struggles :(
I just listen to the sound of bitcoin buzzin in cyberspace!
Ps know how I can set up zaps.. its saying its restricted in canada
💯
Focused on breathing/bracing and the feeling of the movement and muscle… no room for distraction when the aim is gainz
This is the way. Can't stand it when traveling and they feel the need to play MSM news on TVs in the gym. I always mute it where possible
I listen to the MSM while training, it pisses me off and adds at least 10% to my rage fuelled lifts.
I've never actually tried exercising while listening to music or anything else. Closest I've ever done would be the music my old climbing gym occasionally played, and that was when I was a teenager.
nope
Yes, minus the hatred.
Hate is not good for ya.
raw doging my runs/bikes too
elite
I exercise watching some instructor guy in YouTube video and I hate that asshole so much. It works.
You ever cold plunge before working out? Life changing
Hell yes .. focus on the one thing ffs
💯
I usually do.
