Something many of us already knew, but it’s always interesting to read the science behind it.
Y’all know I like heavy metal, and as such tends to be what I listen to when I lift. But recently I’ve lifted in silence. I get to the gym before anyone else, it’s empty, and I just enjoy the silence. I’m not sure what effect it’s had on me. I think it’s been good for my mind, but bad for my lifting. It helps me calm my mind, but calm is not what I need when the weight is heavy.
Perhaps it’s a signal to me about other aspects of life right now… and a need to take back greater control over things in my life…..
Smoke on the water. It’s great when doing forms also! 🙂
I’d like to see someone doing their Tai Chi to that. 😉
ROARS LAUGHING!
Or any Iaido form as well friend!
Funny thing… there’s another post I recently had about music you don’t want to hear in the gym. .38 Special’s “Hold On Loosely” came over the stereo… and that’s not a song to listen to while deadlifting.
Nor doing Iaido, now that you mention it. 🙂
Hold on loosely..? Gads, hope they are not shooting a Glock! LMAO!
haha
