20 Songs to Workout To

Some will work for you, some will work for others.

I think one of the most important parts of working out is good music. Without the right song with the right beat and lyrics, we're sluggish and out of the zone. But, if you can find the perfect song, or just the right playlist, you'll be able to pull HEAVY weight for hours, come back later, and lift again. I'm always on the prowl for new music, so I figured I'd share a couple songs with you guys, to see if you'd like them.

1. Monster - Meek Mill

My music taste ranges from pop to rap to rock to R&B, so some of these songs might work for you and others may not. But this song should work for everyone. Meek Mill is fire. I know he has that whole beef with Drake and whatever, but he spits bars, and this song just gets me pumped up.

2. Numb/Encore - JAY Z and Linkin' Park

This is a HUGE throwback from when I was in like eighth grade, but it still goes.

3. Trophies - Drake

Another heater thats been around for a couple years. Just makes you feel hyped, man.

4. Give Me A Sign - Breaking Benjamin

I'm a HUGE fan of music that gets me angry. This song gets me mad, for sure.

5. Pittsburgh - The Amity Affliction

My new-found love, The Amity Affliction, put out a solid song with Pittsburgh. I rage to it and lift mad weight.

6. The Downfall of Us All - ADTR

Just an insane intro that will honestly make you want to run through walls.

7. Wild Eyes - Parkway Drive

Again, another absolutely insane intro which will have you lifting triple your previous max.

8. Calm Down - G Eazy

HUGE fan of this guy, always lays it down heavy.

9. Rap God - Eminem

Speaking of white rappers, check this guy out. You might know him.

10. Gordo - Carnage

Pretty short song, but still gets you PUMPED!

11. Down With The Sickness - Disturbed

Pretty well known song, still gets me going every damn time with that drop.

12. IV. sweatpants - Childish Gambino

Childish thooooooo

13. Language - Porter Robinson

EDM is tough with workouts, basically I just try to find the best drops, but this whole song man, something special.

14. Break The Cycle - Motionless in White

15. New Slaves - Kanye West

16. Champions - Kanye West

17. Collard Greens - Schoolboy Q

I love hyped rap

18. Wild Boy - MGK

The OG

19. Lights Out - Breaking Benjamin

20. No Excuses - Timeflies

Thats all I have for you guys! Like I said, my music taste varies heavily between what I like at the gym. I hope some of these work for you guys, though.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

679

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

2361

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Because you need it in your life.
