I was partial to Slipknot during my last deployment. Probably due to too much NO Xplod and powdered protein. I'm sure there will be some interesting responses.

I have the slacker radio app on my phone and I like to listen to the "Adrenaline Rock" station. It has a good mix of both older and newer stuff, but it is great "get pumped up" music!

I like to work out to OST from Movies, Some of the score's that are amazing to work out to are:

1. "I will find him" - Man of Steel Soundtrack

2. "Requiem for a Dream OST"

3. "If you love thses People" - Man of Steel OST

4. "A Dark Knight" - Dark Knight OST

Pretty much anything written by Hans Zimmer.

IRT individual tracks - Warrior's Song (either Army or USMC, doesn't matter)
IRT groups - Def Leppard (Undefeated, Animal, or Rock of Ages), AC/DC (Thunderstruck) REO Speedwagon (Roll with the Changes)
For cool downs, I like to use Booker T & the MGs (Slim Jenkins Place) or Eric Clapton (Signe)
Yah, I keep it simple, deadly and nothin' but Classic Rock.

For speed squats, try doing them in time to "Cherry Pie" by Warrant. Somewhere between 35-50 reps should about do it. Your inner thighs will absolutely burn.

It used to be "Let's Get Physical" but now that I am out to pasture, it's more like, "Friends in Low Places"

I have an eclectic musical diversity so as long as it has a punch to the beat it could be anything from "Eye of the Tiger" - the REAL version by Survivor to George Harrison's "Cheer Down" to Rush's "2112 Overture"

Honestly Sir my workout music can range anywhere from Metallica to Frank Sinatra and everything in between. Just depends on my mood. Also, at risk to sounding like a dork I will admit that from time to time I'll listen to a military cadence as I run.

Only tangentially related, but I had an instructor at RIP that constantly tried to turn Black Sabbath's War Pigs into a cadence and failed miserably. I had to give him credit for trying to keep the dream alive, however.

More on topic, and I don't know what's going on here psychologically, but I like really angry music when I train and for running, having the right beat is everything. I figured out that something between 165-170 beats per minute (or half that) is perfect for me. Turns out it's from years of running to cadences - that's the beat range most running cadences fit into.

I listen to the most brutal metal I can find. Stuff like Behemoth, Marduk, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Dark Funeral. I like the hard-hitting stuff that sounds like "if music was combat, this would be an arc-light bombing raid".

I also rotate stuff in there like August Burns Red, Blood Runs Black, Dethklok/Metalocalypse, Black Dahlia Murder, Thrice, Project 89, Isis, Born of Osiris, and Norma Jean.
