So today was my first final exam and I’m harboring a pretty bad case of ADD.
It’s usually pretty bad, but today is just silly. It’s like. Dyslexia met my inability to concentrate. Both a blessing and a curse.
It makes CrossFit perfect because I end up practicing a thousand different skills every time I go to train, but makes schoolwork seriously difficult. Sitting in one spot and reading something that’s not about food or being buff? Answering questions with numbers in them? What?? Who does that!?
Yesterday I was feeling really funny and told everyone about it. “Guys, I feel funny.” I barely ate anything the first half of the day, and had one cup of coffee and couldn’t drink anymore. Which is fine. But unusual. I felt like my heart was about to beat out of my chest all day, coupled with the inability to eat anything. I think that’s called stress? Clearly I’m don’t do that much.
HOW I DEAL WITH IT: Sitting in my car for 15 straight minutes, blasting angry rock and rap music and singing at the top of my lungs.
My poor neighbors.
So, behold. My angry stress-busting playlist. Ironically, this is also one of my best workout jams. Enjoy.
CrossFitters: WOD music? I like heavy metal when I’m lifting, and RapSeriousness when I’m doing conditioning.

Girl, you listen to some pretty intense music! No wonder why you’re beastin’ those crossfit workouts these days!
Nice playlist! I pinned that so I can get back to it later! I have Smooth Criminal on mine too, but none of the others!
Love it!!! I need to download some new tunes and the more “hard core” stuff is what inspires me to lift heavier. Have you heard Spider Bait’s version of Black Betty? It’s my power song.
Okay. So, I literally have all of these on my workout playlist. We’re twins. Meant to be. That is all.
I love your playlists… not only the adorable graphics, but more so the ghetto tunes. Kind of ironic if you think about it, hehe. Anyway, I actually get a lot of my WOD music from your Spotify p-lists – thanks!
Totally forgot about Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farm! Definitely a good one!
Im always always hip hop
always
I see a lot of songs already on my playlist and some that are new to me. Adding a few to my playlist
thanks for the playlist! I love getting new tunes
good luck on your final lovie
Oh mannn I need this, too. Thanks! Good luck on the rest of your finals
I’ve been looking for new workout music. Thanks for this! Yes, good luck with finals.
Haha awesome play list!
love it! I like anything with an upbeat-beat that makes me move faster!
This looks JUST like my playlist, but I like to add in some intense dubstep during intense metcons, and also a little more Indie!
YES Thrift Shop is my jam right now. Love it. I’m like you and always go for rap and heavy metal when I workout hard. I know a friend who listens to mellow indie music when she workouts and I just can’t understand that.
Where’s Brian McKnight, Boyz II Men, and Backstreet Boys?
Ugh you caught me :/ How could I miss my Backstreet Boys?!
UGH I do not like that feeling of your heart beating out of your chest. Stress and too much coffee will do that to you! ACDC’s Hell’s Bells is a absolute favorite of mine. Have a great day!
This may sound odd but I actually cannot listen to music when I work out. I need absolute silence. I even hate when others come into the gym when I am working out. Their grunting, loud music, movement… Drives me crazy! WOW – I am soooooo weird, LOL!!! I especially hate when they turn on the TV crazy loud… Without even asking, are you kidding me? Okay, I am going to stop sounding like a CRAZYYYYYYYY – by shutting up now, lol! Silence
Lose Yourself does it for me every time! Thanks for sharing this list.
awesome playlists!!
I just saw your playlist on Pinterest and was amazed to see Macklemore on your list. Love this song!
