"Hit ‘Em Up," 2Pac
In a track as scathing as it is explicit, 2Pac launches a verbal assault on Notorious B.I.G. and brags about sleeping with someone’s wife (hmm.… whose could that be ?). When you’re working out, you want something full of either anger or cockiness. This one brims with both.

"Smells Like Teen Spirit," Nirvana
Your training partner is sucking wind like an overweight marathoner, but you’re still cranking muscle building reps of dumbbell rows. That’s because your ears are being assaulted by the inspiring, angry sounds of this Kurt Cobain anthem of angst.

"Mama Said Knock You Out," LL Cool J
LL’s rep was at an all-time low when he shocked the hip hop world with this hard edged comeback song. The thump ing bass and scorching beats will help you reclaim your own aggression.

"Gonna Fly Now," Bill Conti/The Rocky Orchestra
Some songs become great training companions. Others were born that way. This song from Rocky defines the latter category. You hear those trumpets and you just want to choke down six raw eggs, throw on some gray sweats and climb a few hundred stairs three at a time.

"1812 Overture," Pyotr Tchaikovsky
Even if your idea of classical music is early Black Crowes, you know this booming composition. Reportedly, Tchaikovsky himself said it had no artistic merit. But who needs art when you’ve got cannons ?

"Move B****h," Ludacris
We’ve all been there. Some no life joker is dilly dallying on the bench. When you finally get the space to yourself, transfer that rage into a few extra reps with this ultimate expression of pent up impatience.

"Right Now," Korn
This nu metal classic’s lyrics give you the proper attitude adjustment to punish the weights: “I’m feeling mean today/Not lost, not blown away/Just irritated and quite hated.”

"Lose Yourself," Eminem
You may hate this guy, in which case you hate this pick. Oh, well. The bass line pulsates, the lyrics mesmerize and the message is Ali esque: Don’t let anyone even the doubting Thomas within talk you out of grabbing exactly what you want.

"Another One Bites the Dust," Queen
This band cranked out numerous training-worthy hits (We Are the Champions,- We Will Rock You, - Under Pressure). This one rises above the rest with its powerful bass line and brash sentiment.

"Chest Day," Frank Zane
How can you not be inspired by an actual body builder a three-time Mr. O, no less warbling about working pecs and blowing harmonica ? Very Dylan esque, in a warped, musclehead kind of way.
