Besides the gym, music has had a dramatic impact on my life ever since the age of 9. Maybe it’s the loud bass that does something to me or maybe the enthusiasm put into the lyrics, music is great and I rarely ever go a day without it. Not only do I love music, but I love different genres of music and I am always open to hearing new stuff. I grew up with Rap but I also love rock, deep house, punk rock, alternative and electronic music and things of that nature. So you could imagine that when I put training and music together its pretty much the best of both worlds for me. Today I will share with you my top songs that have helped me lift the heaviest amounts of weight that I could possibly handle when training. If you have any that I might be missing then write them down in the comment section below, enjoy!
