Re: lifting music
I used to listen to Korn, Tool, Rage, Disturbed, Whitechapel, Meshuggah etc when I was into hardcore lifting focused only on muscle gain.
I'm over the "being huge" thing, not that I was ever huge - biggest I got was 205 at 7% (I'm 5'11" btw). Now I'm just into general fitness and my music has calmed down with my workout, listening to ealges, stones, zeppelin, clapton, kinks, zombies, aerosmith, zz top, etc etc these days.
