Are you plugged in when you lift?

[AUb27]

Ive tried it and like it but currently dont own an iPod or anything else. How many guys have their own music goin at the gym? (Im assuming this is already a thread but I figure Id start a new one and get some fresh replies)

[Tambit24]

My gym plays magic or something like it (easy listening). So, if I don't have my ipod, I go nuts.

[AUb27]

ahah thats hilarious, I HATE it when sometimes some 80's soft rock sh!t will come on at my gym. it just destroys my buzz till the next coldplay track comes on.

[smokeyd]

my gym plays whatever the hell you bring to put in the cd player at about 150db or whatever you can find on the xm radio

If you don't own an ipod you can still put on some random headphones with nothing hooked up to it so nobody bothers you. I've done it a few times when the battery had gone dead.

i do the same thing. When batteries die they stay in.

[davidb]

Sometimes i talk on my cell phone when no one is on the other end

[Nicotine]

i ALWAYS have my ipod on.....

the gym plays the radio. which is 90% commercials, 10% crappy music.

and there is a rule you cant change it.

****in drives me nuts

[DCI]

I always have it all the play in my gym is the radio which in Ireland is comeplete shite.

[JDMSilviaSpecR]

I know too many f*cking people at my gym to have the luxury of ignoring everyone and putting my iPod on blast.

[davidb]

Get an ipod

[zaggahamma]

just started and love it

[JDMSilviaSpecR]

Get an ipod

Who the hell are you talking to.

[WARMachine]

I dont need an IPOD.
Its not worth taking a IPOD there and have to take the earphones out every 5 seconds.

People are constantly coming up to me and asking me questions.

Mostly about how much training is. If i fight. Where i fight. Can they come in.

Err!!! Im getting so fed up, i cant wait to get my own equipment in my house...

[smokethedays]

Just plug it in and HIT IT.
Don't talk or have eye contact. In the zone

Here is a sample

Occasionally I'll listen to music, but my gym doesn't pipe in any music, and I like most of the people I know there so I don't mind chatting a little bit. I usually bring the Ipod though, just in case an idiot is present.

[Older lifter]

A lot of the gyms i go to play Asian Love songs,,,,, i don't know if you have ever heard them but they sound like chocking a cat in a shower....So yes i use an i-pod

Fuckin A!

[StoneGRMI]

Agreed. That crap music makes me want to slit my wrists, dye my hair black and talk about how sad I am on MySpace.

[WARMachine]

I wish my weight was emo so it would cut itself...

[Chode Logan]

Used to use it the whole workout. I broke my headphones and I'm too poor to by more, getting by without it. So yes I like it better, but I don't need it. It's a pain when doing dumbell presses, the dangling chord always gets mangled and it's hard not to smash the ipod in my pocket.

[Mulciber]

i use a little shuffle for the gym..dont get in the way and if i do crush it who cares..

[JDMSilviaSpecR]

I use a shuffle too just for the gym. I went in around 9 pm tonight, and it was the first time in over 6 months where I knew NO ONE at the gym, so I was able to lift without interruption, and without having to take off my earphones every 10 seconds.

[IronReload04]

ipods suck...get a zune

[Older lifter]

Use the same, great little thing..

[ghettoboyd]

i have one of those samsung juke phones. i actually look forward to cardio and mowing the lawn now.i work out at home so i burn my own workout cds and blast the shit loud.when i used to go to the gym it was always easy listening crap that made me want to tear my eyes out.

[WOLFCRAFT]

My gym seriously plays Morrisey and Radiohead.
Headphones all the way.

[AUb27]

i dont remember the last time i did actual cardio in the gym but sh!t i would not go back to doing it w/o an ipod or something to listen to. it just makes it so much more tolerable and maybe even a bit enjoyable if a good enough song comes on.

Radiohead is chill! Ok, not for lifting though.

[Kale]

I never use one, I have such a mean looking face most people are to scared to talk to me anyway
