Ok, a rundown:
•You could go to the gym without headphones.
This is the option most “me” considering it’s my idea. The goal here is to get into the moment and become oblivious to the garbage pop over the gym’s speakers.
(Even when lifting with headphones, I often toss them for PR sets and/or top sets on certain movements.)
• A pre-made playlist.
•The 1 song playlist. (Basically you pick one song and have it on repeat for the entire session. I swear I got this from Bold And Determined, but I can’t seem to find the post.)
Recently done with:
though I’ve used songs across all genres depending on mood at various times.
•Something nourishing to your brain and soul…classical music (got the idea from Brooks Kubick), or bagpipes (my spin on that, listen to music that is part of your soul, the music of your blood).
There, I just simplified lifting music for you considerably.

P.S. follow the classical and bagpipe music links, you’ll thank me.
