And I will not lift without him. He is my strength and my hope, my bosom companion. It is, without question, impossible to lift nearly anywhere without one, for the following reasons:
- The music in most gyms blows donkey dick. I actually heard “Boom Boom Pow” in Sc Barbell today. I am not making that up. For those of you who don’t know, that gym is owned by a WPO world record holder in the squat. It has three female members of whom I know.
- People will invariably ask you stupid questions while you lift, no matter how terrifying you may appear, unless you’re wearing headphones. And yes, even that fails to deter the occasional retard.
- I am more focused while listing to it.
As I’ve gotten a number of questions regarding the songs I have in my vids, I thought I’d fill you in on them, and then give you the basics of my playlist, as I cannot cut and paste the playlist out of Windows Media. Fuck iTunes, and fuck Apple. I rock a Phillips MP3 player and love the shit out of it.
Video Songs:
Gods of War- Sworn Vengeance (Hate vid)
Bloodsplattered Satisfaction- Waking the Cadaver (Squat Vid)
13- Bad Luck 13 Riot Extravaganza (Cleans Vid)
Get Sick- Throwdown (Cahos and Pain Intro Vid)
Other than that, I’m rocking the following bands on my mp3 player:
