.....you know the type.....repetitive hard driving beat/instrumental stuff.

I tried the stuff at a buddies home on the trainer with a good sound system and I really got "into" the L4 ride...it helped a lot. Got into a "trance like" state and
3 X 20min was not bad at all. Picked a few songs that matched my 95 cadence to the beat.
In fact my buddy said the techno I was listening to was called TRANCE MUSIC.

I like this one but for L7 onlyBullGod said:I sometimes train to death metal, especially the more intense workouts. Try and match the heart rate to the insane high speed double kick drumming, and the gutteral grunts of the singer will seem an appropriate reflection of the pain you are feeling.
A classic is "Reign in Blood" by Slayer - Possibly the fastest guitar / drums / bass / voice record ever made.....
I'm the same way. I don't listen to this stuff unless I need something to pump up my mood on the trainer.TiMan said:I would never listen to techno unless I was on the trainer or maybe on a long climb.......
