The Three Best Workout Songs Of All Time

Posted on May 04th, 2009 in Motivation, Muscle Buidling, Workout Music

#1 – Giving In By Adema

This video is perfect. I know I would not want to look like former Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman but I can definitely feed off his dedication, intensity, and relentlessness in the weight room. Giving In is the all around perfect workout song. I have done entire workouts with this guy by just hitting the back button on my shuffle eleven times. Best Used For Any Type of Intense Lifting.

Update: Those Corporate Fat Cats made Youtube take down the Ron Coleman Video. Here is the music video instead – Still Excellent.
