Top 10 Best Bands To Workout To

by Mark McManus on January 25, 2008

I need energetic music to work out to.

I recently asked members of the MuscleChat.co.uk forum what bands they like to listen to when hitting the iron. Here are the most popular artists (in no particular order)

Guns N’ Roses
Rammstein
Metallica
Foo Fighters
The Sex Pistols
Rage Against The Machine
Sepultura
Prodigy
Iron Maiden
Pantera

So who do you listen to for motivation?

If Phil Anselmo can’t motivate you for a workout, no-one can.

It will motivate and lift you right up, so you can squeeze that extra hard rep. It should definitely be in the top 10!
5 Mark McManus December 3, 2008 at 8:13 pm: Thanks Ben, I’ll check them out!

Pantera all the way, damn right Anselmo can motivate.
