I think its pretty clear that music will increase your performance

Its a sort of crutch. By listening to music, you lessen the outside world by a little. Suddenly, whem the music is removed, you will feel extremely grounded and less resilient. Better to not need it and have access, than to need it and not have access.

I used the method of music to increase my performance but i had to increase the volume gradually to get the same effect as i did in the beginning. I am now deaf. Be careful with that.

>What are noise canceling ear buds

Sometimes when I'm lifting out of my comfort zone or going for a new record I'll turn my music off because it's a distraction. When I'm just doing my regular thing I always have music for reasons that everyone already knows.

I switch my music when I'm done lifting though, so I can cool down mentally and physically. (e.g. lift to some obnoxious as hell edm while lifting, turn on Feels by Animal Collective when I'm done.

this thread is dumb

Carlos!! *laughtrack*

When I'm on my last set I will change the track and wait for a hard drop before I go in for the squat.

BITCHU GUESSED IT

when your in the ring the thing that will keep you going is adrenaline. i never once thought my performance may have ben off because of a song. You should work hard enough that it wont make a difference

Music will screw up your technique big time, and yeah it will make you mentally weak.

It will especially make you lose gains when running. Try focusing on cadence, stride length, balance, posture, breathing, etc ... when you've got a constantly changing beat blaring in your ear. You'll never make it.

People train martial arts with headphones in/on? That's not a thing, right?

In general I think music helps me run. But the farthest I've ever ran (5k, big whoop) was one of the only times I ran without music, and I've never done it since. Maybe you're right.
