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
