I personally prefer to not use music when I workout anymore. I started realizing that after years of working out with music, it just became noise and I wasn't even really listening anymore, and it also kept me from really tuning into my body when I was performing a movement. Personally I think it's beneficial for people with lower baseline levels of dopamine to not use music, it helps you stay focused and gives you the mental fortitude to push through things in other areas of life that are tough
I absolutely agree. It makes it more meditationl, intentional and effective in my personal experience.
When I workout without music at 6am I get the workout done way faster and better. I'm not distracted by checking apps, changing songs or whatever. I'm present and focused.
That's why I think it's so beneficial.
HOWEVER
when I'm cycling I watch videos with sound cause I like to "feel" like I'm outdoors.
Exactly brother. I didn't even realize it was music, especially when you get into the harder sets close to failure. Also, it just being annoying after a while
Yess!! I just rediscovered this! Thank you for your comment! This is exactly what I was thinking about recently
i listen to ronnie coleman screaming 10 hours
I don't workout with music purely because I notice that my headspace can be dictated by the beat of the song sometimes. I'm only ready when this beat drops, or I'm going to jam to this chorus etc. Sure motivation is great but what's even more powerful is having the capability to conjure that self motivation and to be able to push hard on sets purely focusing on the muscle contraction, the technique and breathing.
I believe everyone should at least try for a week, because it can really give a different perspective to training. I find I'm more focussed, more alert and more in-tune with "lifting with my body" instead of "lifting to the beat". Though I suspect if you don't have that necessary love for being in the moment, and you see work as sacrificing the present for the future, then you won't benefit that greatly since you're result oriented.
100% it really allows you to focus on your breathing and control your body better and get a better rep
@@BrandNameLessyes I love what both of you said. I get way better mind muscle connection during even just BODYWEIGHT push-ups or any exercise for that matter
I'm a person that wear headphones 90% of my day. I always have something stimulating me. When I'm at work I have my headphones, when I'm at the gym I have headphones, when I relax I have headphones.
I really didn't think of this until recently when I asked a guy at the gym "how tf can you train without music". Then I realized that I always stimulate myself with music/podcasts etc.
Now I do 1 day/week without music, which is really different. I wouldn't say better or worse, but it's definitely up and downsides of both ways.
Music makes working out alot better to be honest. I do have days where I am SICK of noise though. Put the headphones away, and just lift. Those days are nice too.
im the opposite, music kills my focus
no it’s terrible compared to no music. No music etc gives meditation. Makes you mentally strong as well. Far more so than with music.
that's exactly what he talked abt in the podcast he mentioned that we get too confortable with music to help us escape reality when we should do it our selves with our mental strength and try to overcome that feeling u said rn. for me I realized that just abt weeks ago and I literally sitting rn on floor trynna search why the hell am I weak af today can't push even a little, I know for sure I ate well and rested well and that's why I came to yt to search how to over come that feeling. I decided now to focus on my mental strength bc that's the weak spot on me rn, u know when u try do pull-ups but u have weak forearms so u don't get the most of benefits of pull-ups? that's exactly what's happening to me now and we gotta just keep training like that until mental strength is equal or almost to other muscles XD I try to imagine mental strength like a muscle strength
Some days I can focus with music. Sometimes the noise in my head plus music would be too great
Not multitasking is a great discipline to develop. It's great for physical and spiritual habits
Can you explain how or can you send me a research for this? Cause I don't really know why multitasking is bad, it's beneficial as using time efficiently.
@Nurullah Tapcı It's not that it's always a bad thing, I love multitasking, but the process of solely focusing on one things directs your attention. And like they were saying makes you sit in your own thoughts. Which in 2022 we have so many distractions we never have to do if we don't want to.
True believer in that, Multitasking breeds ADHD
@@nurullahtapc9850the problem is people multitask too often. Definitely leads to having terrible focus.
I tested it myself and the difference was legit. Working out without no music is a cheat code because weight lifting is a physical action. Much easier to practice focus while doing something physical vs trying to read a book, from scratch.
Personally, I have a no phone in the gym rule. Hitting the gym is like my meditation, it’s only me and the exercise. No distractions, I am able hear my inner voice pushing me to the max. Plus we are all on our phones 80% of the time throughout the day. As well as building that mind-muscle connection, it also gives your eyes a break from staring at a screen all day. I leave every workout feeling great. I believe everyone should try it.
I’ve lifted without music for years now. Mostly because I am too cheap to get a nice pair of earbuds.
But I’ve learned to really enjoy the silence. Just close your eyes, listen to your breathing and feel the blood flowing around. Feels good.
Not only that, it makes you open to conversation with others which is always a positive.
Mark, Nsima, Drew - thank you guys for making awesome content, hope you have a great weekend and a great christmas
I use noise cancelling headphones (usually with a hip-hop classics playlist on shuffle) to attenuate the noise of other people working out, which increases my mental focus and concentration.
I trained the first 18 years without music and I can tell you.... having music is better.
Thats just because AFTER 18 YEARS. you finally got burnt out on NOT listening to Music. Take someone like me who has always listened to music for 20 years+ while lifting and been trying and have been without the past 2 weeks. My focus on the lifts is now 100% .
@@angelgutierrez5950 Lol burnt out on not listening to music? No. Hahahahah. I bought AirPods and it became easy to do.
I kinda agree with Angel, I did both for years, of with music and years of without. Doing the change-up always made me lock back in.
I love listening to music and the gym is my best opportunity to listen to music. Outside of the gym I’m working or at school, so I’ll keep using my “free/leisure time” at the gym to enjoy my music. If not , I wouldn’t be listen to the same amount of music in my life
Relax people, he is sharing what has worked for him..... not telling you not listening to music is better for you. Lol! Jesus, no wonder ppl don't like going to gyms as much anymore.
I just discovered recently that I have something called “maladaptive daydreaming” and music, specifically through headphones, is my biggest trigger to zone out. So I stopped wearing earbuds to the gym. Makes a huge difference
I am 50-50. Music in the gym and no music while running outdoors.
I'm gonna cut this podcast short.
Underrated wisdom! 💎
Mark!! I’m in need of guidance! I recently tore my pec off the tendon(if it were tendon off the bone I’d 100% be confident with surgery). I’m completely torn(pardon the pun) on getting surgery to repair this injury. In your opinion, given your probable anecdotal encounters through the year, would I be better off just letting this heal or having the surgery to attempt to reattach the muscle to the tendon?? Reason I comment on this video about this is the fact that I got way over hyped by music and did shit that I had no business doing. I would love for you to touch on this because I currently have the surgery scheduled but I don’t want to be limited on functionality after the fact. If I’d be better off just letting this heal up and dealing with the aesthetic consequences versus the functionality limitations post op. I’m also going to DM you on IG, I need advice from a person that has more experience with this that I have. Thanks!!!
Lol oh god. Wat happened to training just being fun? I’m getting tired of these dumb gimmicks
every little helps.
lifting is great for us and if music enhances the experience...who gives a fuck. we aren't out here to break world records
I’ll be honest I’ve tried lifting without music for long periods of time. It’s overall less fun I’d say. I never listen to music when I’m running though. Not sure why. Headphones themselves are kinda distracting bouncing in your ears and such. I like hearing my breathing and pacing too helps me zone out and not think about anything. Music is like riding waves of energy which doesn’t go great with running imo.
Nothing I value more than some child's expertise in working out, right? Lol.
Yeah, I think I’ll sacrifice a little fun to have better focus and mental health. I’ll have more fun outside of that gym.
I put on ear phones to cancel gym music and tune with myself 🤌
I only like listening to music when I jump rope to know when to switch up and can use it as a stop clock
I listen to podcasts while I workout. 🤷🏻♂️
i had some kid , ask me what my prep song was .I looked at him like" what "i don't need that shit... focus
Everytime I listen to music in the gym I just end up vibing to the music and not really focused. Then when I focus I am conpletely blocking out the music anyway. For me there is just no added benefit for the workout and a risk of losing a pair of headphones or even worse, my phone, which I don't even keep around me anymore in the gym.
I also find I recover my focus best after completely zoning out and thinking of nothing for a few minutes. My eyes are just staring straight at the wall or the floor and my head is completely silent. The second I snap back I am 100% ready to go for my next set.
Same. I have never gotten injured even minor without music.
There is so much distraction in the gym it's bonkers
Nothing beats the sound of metal banging 😌
Dude is literally listening to music in his headphones whiles talking to us jk great advice
GREAT TO C MATT DAMON ON THE POD CAST
Okay David goggins…
