Our pick People = Sh*t doesn’t hang around.

They’re a pretty angry crew of misfits, with some even angrier tunes to match. Polluting the ears of teenagers everywhere. They’re the crazy dudes in masks that scared parents all over the world when Iowa emerged back in 2001. We even bet the Queen of England knows who they are. Slipknot – People = ShitĮven if you’re not a fan of heavy metal you’re bound to have heard of Slipknot.

Destroy Everything got us pumped the most. There’s also a bunch of other equally intense tunes on there, but we had to choose one. A key listen for any self respecting dude who knows a thing or two about heavy. You’ll find Destroy Everything on the band’s 2006 album Supremacy. Some might even argue that Hatebreed aren’t strictly a metal band. You heard the man! Destroy everything! Whilst this might not be the fastest tune on this list but it’s one of the snarliest. So, let’s get some: Hatebreed – Destroy Everything If these don’t get you angrier than a hungry 750lb powerlifting grizzly bear running out of chalk, you’re probably dead! If you’re after a little listening inspiration we’ve got you covered! Our expert thrash-aholics and riff-obsessives have put together some of the meanest tunes for smashing PBs and RMs. Making you feel stronger than if you had left your headphones in the car. When you start to feel tired, the aggression of Pantera or Machine Head will be screaming for one more set. Keep the tunes flowing throughout the workout too. Dreading that hard ass leg session you’ve got planned with the boys tonight? Throw on something fast and loud on the way over, and trick your mind into excitement! Not only that, but the energy we get from hearing our favourite bands can influence how we feel. Crushing riffs on the other hand, definitely do. So, if you’re a dude who spends his gym time trying to pick-up girls instead of heavier weights, listen in! Distractions don’t boost deadlifts. Keeping us in the zone and blocking out useless crap like text messages alerts or lactic acid burn. The rhythm and momentum of music can also help to improve mental focus. So, make sure you have the car stereo shaking before getting under the bar. Kind of like a pre-workout for your ears. Meaning the tunes we blast are key to setting the tone of the session. Music has also been proven to boost mood. If you want to lift heavy – listen heavy! Studies have even shown that listening to music during training can reduce a dudes rate of perceived exertion. It doesn’t matter whether you’re pushing weight or hitting the heavy bag, a killer soundtrack is everything. Something extreme that makes a bro wanna smash the iron and get swole.Ī sick playlist can make all the difference in the gym. There’s something purely primal about pounding drums, buzz-saw guitars and crazy screaming vocalists that gets us pumped. Nothing beats the heat of heavy metal for getting dudes fired up.
