What sort of music/audio (if any) do you use when working out? I find high BPM electronic music/mixes (with vocals) keep me on pace very well when rowing... but I'd like to avoid mixes that include "shake dat ass" & shit. Maybe some Viking chant electronica exists?

Ive been listening to drum and bass. All heavy beat instrumentals and no niggers rapping over it.

I do like the d&b but sometimes it gets too slow or has "quiet" parts.

Sometimes, but there's a lot out there that just charges the entire track.

This is gonna sound annoyingly weebish of me, but I listen to opening songs to a few anime I enjoy, because the opening songs to anime tend to be upbeat. Also I listen to some metal, and some eurobeat. There's a song about racing called Gas Gas Gas that gave me the idea for my name lmao

None. I prefer the sound of my muscles ripping. You can hear it if you listen carefully.

Along with many other tunes, I like to hear these oldies at least once every lifting session:

For a change of pace you might look into Wagner -

His work used to be quite popular in some circles.

Unleash the Archers for most days. Audiobooks when gym is empty at 2—4am and synth/Fashwave with high BPM for rowing machine.

While rowing,nI like to put on some shades, close my eyes and pretend I'm a slave on a viking ship preparing to go into battle while rowing to the beat

I love rowing. I can decide whether to focus on arms, legs, back, core, or a combination of all of them to maintain a consistent pace. Have been looking for a used concept2 rower for home use since they are my favorite and considered the pinnacle of rowers. Prices are not discounted much bc they hold their value well so I may just buy a new one before winter comes around.

Is that the one with the water? What the pedo actor from usual suspects had in that one TV show about the presidency?

Last year I started using a WaterRower I bought years ago. I did the beginner Pete Plan and now follow his "routine" plan. Still getting PRs! I do find it quite boring though, but I make it through because I'm proud of my continued progress.
