Screw Beats. They don't last. I'd rather just spend $40 on Skullcandy, so far mine have lasted 5 years and I use them every day at work.

 

I used some Anker sound sports from Walmart. Awesome reviews but I guess I sweat too much or something cause they keep failing. They’re $50/set. They come with a year warranty tho so I can mail them in and get a new set which I probably will do.

I looked up reviews and got a $50 set of “jbuds” today. They’re made by JBL so we will see how these do.

 

I’m still tryin to stretch my $7 iPhone ear phones as long as I can before replacing them. So far they are making it. Only when I do lunges do they start to give me weird issues.

 

you got this!

 

Anybody use Kaged Muscle supps? More specific, the preworkout?

 

Crazy coincidence...I’m finally at a spot in my routine where I felt I needed to add supplements and just had the Kaged PIP stack delivered yesterday. After some research, it was between Kaged or Jym. GNC has a BOGO 50% Off on Kaged so I ordered more before even opening the ones I just got.

I’ve been hitting the gym hard the last 6 months after getting lazy after marriage 10 years ago and a kid 5 years ago. Figured I’d come check in here today and see what’s going on.

I go 6 times per week with 3x powerlifting w/ personal trainer and 6x “boot camp” style classes for my cardio. I’ve only added the classes to my routine since December after finally getting my diet under control. I’m still at a point that I need some accountability so going to the structured classes works.

 

Try labdoor.com for all supplements. Supposedly are unbiased results.
I recently tried pure pump pre per labdoor results. Liking so far.

 

Will do! Thanks man!

 

I use kaged supplements during cutting. I like their Clean Burn supplement prior to morning cardio. Only buy it on good deals, otherwise I feel their supps are too expensive...

 

Added 20lbs to my deadlift PR this morning...pretty stoked. I tried to add another 10 on top afterwards but ran out of gas. Got the bar up but couldn’t get it over my knees. Felt good so I’m confident I’ll hit another PR next round...but probably a much smaller jump. Working on form and lockout the last couple weeks is what got me this one.

 

Hate to be that guy, but I bought those wireless AirPods after the Jaybird X3’s shit the bed.

The sound quality isn’t great, but I throw my phone in my bag and can switch songs by tapping the earbud so I don’t have to worry about any distractions which is kinda nice.

That being said, the $15 wired skull candy earbuds that go in your ears like a set of plugs are the only solution for a heavy deadlift or squat session.

Can’t beat them, and some parkway drive

 

What are you guys all listening to?

Any heavy metal fans out there?

I’ve had my fair share of parkway, Evans blue and Five Finger Death Punch...

 

60,70,80,90s pop/rock
Top 100 from todays time
40-90s Country is my fav.
I do like bluegrass
New Country... although I listen to old country a lot more than new... new shit is starting to get really bad.

The best music was created before 2000.

I hate metal and anything where anyone is screaming.

 

Rap rap rap rock rap rap rock rap. Whatever has a beat that goes hard and can pump to

 

We had a good conversation about music about a month ago. With how dead it is here some days, that's probably only 3 pages ago

Anyway, music for me again, still is metal of some sort sung in anything but english. Rammstein for example.

 

Conga drums and vuvuzelas really do it for me

 

Oh man... don’t think I could handle country while lifting... I’d be too tempted to want to call my ex’s and/or drink beer mid lift

 

Depends on my mood.
When running or cardio I’ll jam to country.
Lifting is usually more oldies rock or top 100.
When I’m in my shop, working on the house, road tripping, doing yard work, drinking or burning shit I’m jamming to old country.

 

I listen to a very broad range of music. Having said that, one genre I’ve always come back to was metal...especially when I’m in the gym. I posted up a couple songs I enjoy while lifting... there are Many more of course: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/the-official-gym-fitness-thread.137157/page-2790#post-19470039
