It doesn’t get much better than these kinds of songs to pump you up. Remember this in the movie Friday Night Lights? This song was amazing. I’m pretty sure your bench press goes up by at least 50 lbs and you get really really angry when this song comes on. What a great tune.

I could have easily put this into the “Great Workout Songs” category, but how money would it be if you attended a wedding and at the reception when the bride and groom first walk out they play this song and an announcer comes out screaming their names?

There’s gotta be at least one couple in America willing to do this. By the way it’s very tough to watch this clip without getting goose bumps when Michael Jordan comes out.

Given my love of music and not just embarrassing but great songs, or even the ones that pump you up on the way to work, I decided to add yet another mix of tunes into the bag.

It’s my full belief that certain music when played at the right moment can easily add 650 pounds to your bench press.

My first choice? “Hearts on Fire” by John Cafferty. I assume every male reading this has seen Rocky IV and I assume every one of us absolutely loves this song.

P.S. The Rocky IV soundtrack was the warm up music at visiting team’s Plainview JFK gym when I played basketball in high school: incredible.
