Suggestions For The Best Workout Music Or Best Workout Song

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

Bodybuilding magazine writers and other visitors to Metroflex Gym all lament the same thing in private conversations:  they miss the atmosphere and the music!  Well now you can choose from Metroflex’s suggestions for the best workout music or best workout song to help you with your lifting, even if you train in one of the “ultra-posh” gyms around the world.

For those of you who love lifting heavy weights, you know that in most commercial gyms you have to blast your MP3 player merely to nullify the uninspiring (understatement!) dance club music playing above the squat racks; and that assumes they even have squat racks or a power rack in the first place!  Now, even if you train in one of the ultra-posh gyms you can make your CD player or MP3 player “hardcore” enough to help you as you train with Metroflex’s methods.

We polled the Metroflex Gym members, and Brian compiled the Top 10 requested songs which motivate the members the most.  In no particular order, here they are:

•  AC-DC:  Thunderstruck
•  2 Pac:  California Love
•  Rocky IV:  War (the rest of the soundtrack is liked as a whole)
•  Hank Williams, Jr.:  Country Boy Can Survive
•  Saliva:  Click Click Boom
•  Metallica:  Enter Sandman
•  Prodigy:  Smack My B***h Up
•  Ramstein:  Du Hast
•  DMX:  I’ma Bang
•  Rob Zombie:  Living Dead Girl

Other favorites include:

•  Metallica:  Creeping Death
•  Mudvayne:  Dig
•  AC-DC:  TNT

If you have a list of favorite songs which you think comprise the best workout music please e-mail us at newsletters@MetroflexGymTraining.com.  We will compile your suggestions for a future announcement.

How To Build Up Muscle And Discover Your Strength By Muscle Tensing Techniques

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

In a moment, I am going to describe to you some ways you can instantly “discover” your strength by using your body in new ways.  Of course, please make sure that you have all proper medical approval BEFORE doing any of these techniques!

In order to “instantly” get stronger you must to tense your body in new ways.  For example, right now grab an item which you can squeeze in your dominant hand.  Squeeze it as hard as you can and, while still squeezing the item, squeeze your empty hand just as tight.  Notice that your squeeze became stronger on the item becomes because of your non-dominant hand is now squeezing as well!

If you are ever around powerlifters you may notice that you hear their training partners say to them, before a heavy set, “Stay tight!”  Tensing the body will help with speed and strength whether you are a powerlifter or want to make pulling your body up more easily for a sport such as rock climbing.

Here are some of the ways you can experiement with tensing your body in order to make it through increase your strength as well as help you through the end of a difficult set:

  • When doing pushups, “grip” the floor and send tension into your arms, armpit, and shoulder girdle areas
  • When doing squats, squeeze the bar really hard when you are ready to come out of the “bottom” position; you should rise easier
  • When squatting, mentally “grip” the floor with your toes and notice the strength increase
  • Tensing your abs and/or glutes will give any lift more power

There are several more ways in which to use tension to help you get stronger “instantly.”  Simply go to http://www.MetroflexGymTraining.com and e-mail us if you want us to cover this subject more in-depth.
