Spin the Black Circle

Posted by Jason Ferruggia

I finally got the ok from the doctor, yesterday, to go back to training. Nothing overhead and no heavy pressing, but I can ease my way back into everything else and finally start regaining all the weight I have lost this year. It’s been a long time and I couldn’t take much more of it. I feel like it’s Christmas morning right now and can’t wait to get to the gym today.

I got a question about music yesterday and since, along with training, that is my favorite subject in the world to discuss, I will gladly ramble on.

Listing everything I train to would take me all day but some of my favorites are:

Public Enemy

Rage Against the Machine

Slayer

NWA

Eminem

Ice Cube

Killswitch Engage

Static X

D12

DMX

Black Sabbath

Metallica

Superjoint Ritual

Pearl Jam

Metallica

Nashville Pussy

Pantera

Smashing Pumpkins

Pantera

Run DMC

Nas

2Pac

The Game

As far as the newest stuff I have gotten, One Day as a Lion is great. In case you don’t know, that is Zach from Rage Against the Machine and Jon Theodore, the drummer from the Mars Volta. It’s a five song EP and every track is worth the money.

When I return to the gym later I will listen to that along with these other recent tracks that I just added to today’s playlist:

– Dope Boys by The Game

– Sly Fox by Nas

– Tomorrow by Ice Cube

– Kill the Emperor by Everlast

– State of Emergency by The Game featuring Ice Cube

– Black President by Nas

– It Takes a Nation by Ice Cube

To round it out I threw a few older tracks on there which are great songs to train to:

Ante Up Remix by MOP featuring Busta Rhymes

187 Um (Deep Cover Remix) by Dr. Dre featuring Snoop Dogg

Who’s the Man by House of Pain

I Aint Goin Out Like That by Cypress Hill
