The Best Workout Songs Ever- (BRO-TUNES)

Workout songs can help to power you through a difficult set and get you to a brand new PR, or can they? In this video, I-m going to look into whether or not the -bro-science- of listening to music during your workouts is actually helping you or hurting your gains in the long run. I will tell you this, not all music is created equal. Listening to the wrong workout songs can absolutely destroy your ability to get much out of your workouts and you would be better of with nothing but the sounds of silence. To start, it helps to look at what the -bros- do. Often times, the biggest bros in the gym are the ones with the loudest tunes blaring from their headphones. Even if you had no intention of working out to Five Finger Deathpunch, you are going to have to since their music is blasting so loud that you can hear it all the way over at the squat rack when you-re sitting in front of the dumbbells half way across the gym. But does it help? It actually does, but only if it is the right music you are listening to. Studies were conducted that had subjects listen to no music, their favorite music or music that they did not like. When their favorite workout songs played, they had a measurable increase in their output with strength and power increasing by up to 15 percent. When they played music they did not like however, the results were far worse. In fact, their strength and most importantly their focus was far less than it would have been had no music been playing at all. So the choice of music is obviously important. Beyond that however is the fact that too much of a good thing can be a bad thing when it comes to listening to workout music. If your playlist consists of just your favorite songs that get you absolutely fired up and ready to knock down the walls of the gym, you can burn out faster than you intend to. The rate of perceived exertion is noticeably less when you listen to your faovirte workout tunes. This means, the effort you feel that you had to produce is not as high as it actually was. Your body is smarter than you however. You may have tricked it to get through that set with less difficulty but you will feel more exhausted the second that set concludes. This makes subsequent sets at the same intensity level become even more challenging. So the best thing you can do is shuffle your workout songs to include some that get you up to an all time high with some songs that are a little bit of a step back from there to let your brain chill a bit. Even more however, if you use the cadence of the song you can find that you can increase your power output by not letting your rep speed diminish at it normally would as you fatigue. This is a very under rated and important element of training. Keep the dumbbells moving at the speed of the music for your entire set and you will find more powerful results from your training. The bottom line is, workout songs are very individualistic. What works for you may not work for someone else, however when the music is right-all of it will work more than no music at all. The bro scientists are right in this case. Find your favorite songs and figure out a way to get them blasting through your earbuds in your next workout. Let the gains begin. If you want a program that puts nothing but the latest in workout science into one step by step plan, head to and get the ATHLEAN-X Training System. See how avoiding what the bros do and sticking to what real science says can get you your fastest gains ever. Start training like an athlete today

I usually get a lot more motivated when playing music. I feel fatigue kicking in at about 2 mins when running on the threadmill but I have so much more motivation while listening to music that I can last 7 minutes at like full speed.
Also, thinking about what you can achieve is a great way of NO FATIGUE. Think about going to an event and doing handstand push ups or muscle ups its gonna make you look bad ass and you will stand out.
One final thing, if you dont like your body maybe and others dont as well. In my workouts I use those people as motivation, maybe a girl I like, my mom, my sister, etc.
If I think about what I can achieve it always pushes me to greater and greater heights. I use people that know me as the -chubby guy- as motivation, and it totally works.

I listen to a lot of music ranging from old school hip hop to rock and metal and I even like some old school pop music like Michael Jackson and some classical music (mostly symphonies. But when I workout, I have to listen to the heaviest music I have, so it is mostly metal music when working out. I recommend Panic Attack by Dream Theater

Working out is almost the only time I stop listening to music. I get too concentrated on the music and forget to focus on workout and start having breaks for the music, might start playing guitar to it. Gotta stop the music to get the workout focusedly done. But otherwise it could be Scorpions. For example Don't Stop at the Top.

I dont like listenig to music cause when I do I need to be on beat with my reps, and that's always either to fast or to slow, what makes me not able to focus on my clean reps. The music in the gym is not that noticeable so I stay focused on the work I do cause Id say I get more out of my quality reps

If you had just ONE song you could play when you were working out to get that one last -impossible- rep. what would it be? I don't care if it's Vivaldi's Concerto in G Minor or it's Five Finger Death Punch, no judging here. Interested to hear what makes Team Athlean tick!

I listen to heavy metal at the gym, at work, going to work, leaving work, chilling out at home.
I also am a heavy metal musician that makes his living off of writing heavy metal, so that might explain a few things.

I can listen to hard music or I can listen to chill ass music it don-t really matter to me. sometimes working out in silence can make the workout draaaaaag on forever. I already got enough motivation I just need entertainment --
