Free weights at the house FTW, tho I don't have a big bar for 45s. I can barely balance well anyway from abusing those stupid machines they use at gyms.

I toss around a 50lb barbell and it works fine for the arm so far! I use the music of my rage to fuel my workouts.

Don't do any gyms really, mostly home stuff and then the workouts in the academy.

At home I usually listen to things like System of a Down, Linkin Park, Metallica, etc. The quick paced angry music makes me work harder. (giggity)

Don't go to the gym. The gym is for dumb people...

But, when doing work around the house I like to throw on classic rock. Zeppelin, ZZ Top, Deep Purple, AC/DC, etc...

kick on the pandora on my iphone and just let it ride. Rap/jpop/trance. Main point is to focus on lifting and not care about anything else around me.

rap and metal mostly. disturbed, eminem, slipknot and killswitch are usually good enough to get me through a workout. Then random metal and rap mixed in. as long as it's not to mellow i can lift to it.

Symphonic Metal. Apocolyptica, Nightwish, Epica, etc... It makes every lift an epic struggle against the forces of evil (Or good...depending on how I'm feeling that day).

There are very few exercises that can not be replicated in and around your home.

Paying for a gym membership makes no sense.

But hey, I'm different from you guys and have different priorities.

I may not be able to bench or curl as much, but lets see how many pieces of 3/4" plywood you can lift and set in place.

The problem with the gym is that you are focusing on specific muscle groups. I have found that guys that are really built/bulky from the gym are pretty much useless when it comes to manual labor tasks.

This is why I say that people that go to the gym are dumb. You may look "cool" with your 6-pack, but you're probably pretty damn useless.

3/4" plywood? Really? That's your metric for measuring usefulness. I think you are definitely right; we do have different priorities. While you're out playing with your own wood, I'm making panties drop. Women > lumber.
