The right training music will take your workouts to a new level. That has been my own experience. I can overcome most any mental challenge when I use the right music. Today I want to share a few of my training playlists with you and  explain how they change my mood at the gym.

Heavy Workout Mix

My Heavy Workout Mix is not even my heaviest music, but it serves it's purpose on Deadlift days. I put this music on shuffle and have at those weights. Some sample songs from this playlist:

Lift Me Up – Five Finger Death Punch
Confined – As I Lay Dying
The Most High – Terror

This is currently my top playlist for the gym. I love the energy.

Metal Workout Mix

My Metal Workout Mix is all over the place, but extremely pumping and hard.  This one I listen to in order because I just like how the songs play out.  Some sample songs from this playlist:

All Consuming Fire – War of Ages
Psychosocial – Slipknot
Hook, Line and Sinner – Texas in July

System of a Down Mix

My System of a Down mix is dedicated to one band, System of a Down. I love lifting to them. They are hard and fast. I find myself pushing very hard while this is in my ears. Some sample songs from this playlist:

Prison Song – System of a Down
Chop Suey! – System of a Down

Take your time and select the right music for your next workout. I am a fan of raging guitar music so my taste might not work for you, but find what you like and make a good playlist. Take it to the gym and watch PRs fall.

When you are travelling somewhere you can take many roads to get to where you are going. I personally use an app called Waze to cut down my driving time. When trying to transform your physique, tracking body measurements is like using Waze.

We are all going to produce results–positive and negative–by the activities we partake in. If you take the time to plan then you should also take the time to measure. I personally measure weight, body fat percentage and my circumference measurements weekly. Here is an example of the spreadsheet I use.

This type of tracking really keeps me dialed in. For instance, have a look at the above. It is my actual current log. I am looking to burn fat and maintain the muscle I worked hard to gain. On 2/28/2015 my scale weight increased more than 3 pounds. That immediately concerned me. However, take a look at the body fat percentage. It dropped 1.3% for the week.

Taking your body measurements on a regular basis is going to be your road map to success. You will know when changes you make are working and when they are not. Instead of taking a stab in the dark, the picture will become very clear to you. It is easy when done this way.

I have avoided a lot of stress by using this spreadsheet. I am going to make something like this available in my upcoming membership area here on Fitness Expose.

So, if you are not tracking your progress start doing so today. You are going to see that body measurements don't lie and they will guide you towards the right path just like a good road map or Waze.
