  2. Best Lil Wayne to workout to is Ride For My……
    Love: Japandroids-Young Hearts Spark Fire
    Walkmen: Angela Surf City/Victory/The Rat
    Wolf Parade: Shine a Light

    Feel like there are going to 60 posts with way over 3 songs answering this question. Big. Can. Of. Worms.

  3. 1. Linkin Park "Faint"
    2. Nickelback "Next Contentant"
    3. Guano Apes "Open Your Eyes"

    Like all types of music but could use a lil more hip-hop and punk rock in the gym

  4. I will restrain myself to three that are perhaps a little off the beaten path:

    "Guerrilla Radio" – Rage Against the Machine
    "Dead" – My Chemical Romance
    "Ready Steady Go" – Paul Oakenfold

    What is the gym's Spotify username, so that we might also partake?

  5. This is so not CFSBK style, but when I'm running, my top 3 are "Gloria" by Laura Branigan, "Energy" by Devone, and (OK, this is SBK) "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" by the Beastie Boys.

    I would dig it if we did '80s night (or '80s morning, really) once in a while!

  6. Black Sabbath: Sweet Leaf (any really)
    Orange 9mm: Victim
    SoundGarden: Rusty Cage

    Don't read into that too much. I'm not a jailbird planning my escape while getting high.

    Also, anything by Charlie Parker. 🙂

  9. 6am with coach nick

    made up yesterdays WOD

    pre WU
    foam roll

    WU
    3 Rounds of:

    1RM WEIGHTED PULL UP

    should have made bigger jumps. felt good though.

    20 Minutes of:
    5 Wall Walk-Ups with a :08 Hold

    3rnds of wall walk ups. they got tough after the farmer's walks

    FREE LAP SWIMMING AT RED HOOK
    i'll be there friday at 7am.

  10. Slayer – Cult
    Rollins Band – Disconnect
    House of Pain – On Point

    These come to mind but are always subject to change on whim. I've even requested an MIA song before.

    Stella – I hope not. I mean, not ALL 80's (unless you mean Motley Crue, Metallica, and Motorhead!)

  11. But Josh, you didnt post any hip hop!

    I actually preferslower tempo music to workout to. It helps settle me down and get me "In the zone."

    1) Mobb Deep "Shook Ones pt.2" (really anything off "infamous" album is interchangeable.
    2) Raekwon "Incarcerated Scarfaces" (again lots of stuff from the Only built 4 Cuban Linx album works)
    3)Black Moon "I got ya open"

    This post just reduced my productivity at work to 0.
    Im gonna spend all day redownlaoding/ripping all my favorite music.

  13. Not Crossfit music…buuuut;

    The Prodigy — Invaders Must Die
    Electric Six — Gay Bar
    Luciana — The Rural Alberta Advantage.

  14. Loving the rest day question. I may post under the other 3 dan h's 1,2,4 just to stack the deck 🙂

    Kanye West- Diamonds are Forever (rmx)
    The Dark Knight Sountrack – Aggressive Expansion
    The Roots- 100% Dundee

  17. 3 songs

    i'm designer – queens of the stone age (uncle remix)
    too many rappers [new reactionaries version] (featuring NAS) – beastie boys
    hyper worm tamer – grinderman & unkle

  21. also, worked on OHS this morning in preparation for this weekend's subway series event. haven't worked on these in a long time!

    PVC warmup
    (45×5, 65×5)
    75×3, 85×3, 95×3, 105×3, 110F

    was fairly happy considering i didn't know what to expect. focused on my breathing and keeping my core tight.

    then did some max rep DUs and was averaging 26-30 per set. each set took around 15-18 seconds.

  25. love Samir's suggestions! He beat me to the punch. I had Muskrat Love, Ebony and Ivory, and Beth on the brain.

    Anything by AC/DC.

  26. Hip-Hop

    1. Jay-Z "Show me what you got" (or any album for that matter)
    2. Eric B. & Rakim "I Ain't No Joke" (again anything Rakim put out)
    3. Fort Minor "Right Now" or Gym Class Heroes "Simple Living"
    ^Both are great artist

  27. Hip Hop portion of my list would be:

    1. T.I. What You Know
    2. DJ Khalid and everybody We Takin Over
    3. Young Jeezy/Nas/Jay-My President is Black

  28. some may consider this absolute blasphemy but i don't like music when working out. during the WOD i never even notice it.

  29. Noah at this point in the day I'd take your under bet but then you could just post 75 times yourself and push it over. Or I might end up doing it. I've been downloading a bunch of my favorite hip hop songs for my phone. Ihavent listened to music in awhile so now Im just gonna download a lot of stuff and make a CD. Ill make it available if anyone wants it

    1) Method Man Release Yo' Delf/Bring the Pain
    2) Nas "Got Yourself a Gun", It aint hard to tell, Made You Look.
    3) Bone and 2pac Thug Love–I always hated Bone, but I love this song.

  31. Great posts, keep em coming!!!

    Just because I want to play along:

    The Locust: Book of Bot
    Immortal Technique: The Point of No Return
    OM: Annapurna

    Sometimes I like really spacey music like OM or God Speed You Black Emperor because it gets you into a really disconnected head space. Older Country is also excellent warm-up and skill work music.

    Also on a semi-related note, Dave Witte – the drummer for Municipal Waste emailed me after he saw the Paleo Diet piece on ABC where I was wearing a MW shirt! Where are all my thrash fans? Sella???

  32. 1. pogo by system of a down
    2. simon says by pharoahe monch
    3. motorhead

    also, the fact is that I secretly agree with paddock. I will KILL IT to a gaga background. word.

  33. the rhythm is gonna get you by gloria estefan.

    mcdowell likes constant craving by k.d. lang.

    with those two jams who needs anything else?

  35. sorry, but i have to disagree with paddock, and go with:

    beyonce
    beyonce
    beyonce

    and, on a different note, i have to do some traveling for work in the Fall, and was looking up other crossfit boxes, and one of them listed out a whole bunch of "Travel WODs" on their site, which I thought some folks at SBK might find useful, as I've heard a lot of people mention how much they travel for work and look for ideas when they don't have access to a good gym. Just seems like a good jumping off point. http://mountaineercrossfit.com/?page_id=317

  37. 1. Rancid – "Ruby Soho"
    2. Danzig – "Mother"
    3. Three-way tie: R. Kelly, "Ignition (Remix)"; Weezer, "My Name is Jonas"; Gwen Stefani, "Hollaback Girl"

    These songs belong on both the soundtrack to my workouts and the soundtrack to my life, you guys.

  38. Dig Samir's likes!

    For me, the music I like to listen to depends on what the workout is. So…
    For power lifting: "N.W.O." by Ministry
    For a burner, like Fran: some old school harDCore–"Rock for Light" by Bad Brains
    For a 1000 meter row: "Johnny Appleseed" by the Mescaleros (keeps the stroke rate right)

  40. So many songs, so little time. Here are my top 5:

    "Twilight Zone"– Golden Earring, to get a good Fran-inspiring pace
    "Blue Monday"– Orgy, to get angry
    "Sabotage"– Beastie Boys, you can't argue with a classic
    "Fighter"– Christine Aguilera, for the girls
    "I'll House You"– The Jungle Boys, Old School

  43. I can't wait to join Steph's new affiliate, Crossfit Gaga. Sign me up!

    Good times on the platform tonight. It's fun to watch all the goings on in the gym.

    Squat
    Warmup: 45×5 75×5 95×5 135×2
    Work: 145x5x3

    Press
    Warmup: 45×5 75×5 85×5
    Work: 90x5x3

    Deadlift
    Warmup: 135×5 185×5
    Work: 205×5

    Chin-ups 9, 7, 7

    Felt pretty good tonight. Trying to focus on keeping my knees out, which leads to some soreness in the hips, but nothing a lax ball can't fix.

  45. GAGA!!!
    Bloc Party "Banquet"
    Robyn "Dancing On My Own"

    *Whoa, someone mentioned Bad Brains! I almost forgot about them. Saw them play in L.A. backbackback in the day and they rocked my then 16-yr old face off and I haven't been quite the same since…Totally dating myself but whatever, haha

  46. I'm so thankful for Pandora, when I need to summon up a favorite song for just about anything I become totally paralyzed. I can only point in a direction.

    Rage, Hold Steady, and some sort of happier stuff, lately its been Kid Cudi.

    I read on a CF blog somewhere about smiling when you are in the middle of a really killer WOD. I've been trying that and the more I do it, the more I like more bouncy, melodious stuff over the super hardcore stuff.

  48. Tubthumping (Chumbawumba)
    Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana)
    We are Beautiful, We are Doomed (Los Campesinos)

    2nd on the wolf parade and weezer suggestions…

  50. Foster the People: Pumped up Kicks
    Johnny Cash: Ring of Fire
    Cut Copy: Lights and Music

    worked up to 3rm of 165 OHS, probably will open up saturday with 145 and try to hit 165, if im feeling good 175 for a 3rd attempt.

    Yes to CrossFit GAGA!
