Time: ~5 on the bike, 10 on the treadmill (incline 3.5, speed 4.5)
HR: 150-160
Band: Kreator (Very solid A after some quick research and lyric-checking, I encountered the problem of "I can't tell if this band is very fascist or very anti-fascist" and was unsure until I got off the machine and checked the lyrics)
still not 100% sure even though totalitarian terror fucking owns, magnetDW can you fill me in
I got off the bike after I was fed up with my shoelace catching all the time and nearly stormed off. Then I remembered I have my compression wear now so treadmilling isn't a problem anymore.
My current goal is 15 minutes on 3.5/4.5. Once I hit that, 20 minutes, then 25, etc.
I haven't heard any rumors of Kreator being fascist so I'm pretty sure that would fall under either antifascist or just being generically edgy without much of a real political message
in general, most of the nazis in metal are gonna be in black metal, though you do get some real assholes elsewhere once in a while cough cough Phil Anselmo Jon Schaffer cough
oh, intro titlecards on the video add some context on that particular song, def antifascist
Band leg presses: 12/12 x3
Lunges (both legs): 10/10 x3
Leg curls: 10/10, 8/10, 1/10
Dumbbell overheads: 10/10 x3
Dumbbell curls: 10/10 x3
Dumbbell rows: 10/10 x3
Dumbbell presses: 10/10 x3
good to have another morning workout finally
Leg curls were surprisingly difficult, I think mine are still tired from treadmilling last night
I'm listening to more of their discography, doing some research on the history of the band, and I'm tentatively putting Kreator above Slayer in my personal rankings.
Dragonforce's vocals and instrumentation are almost impeccable. Slightly lighter than my taste, but a good listen. However, I can't get into them because the lyrics are... mm, all flash, no substance. Dragonforce is about nothing most of the time.
But even the less explicitly political songs of Kreator have a central thesis they're driving toward one way or another, and the energy that brings to the music can be felt.
wait, excuse me
they have a concert in denver literally tomorrow
oh fuck nice
damn, looks like either they're not coming to Seattle or I already missed it (I've seen them live in the past tho, it was sick)
thrash is one of the genres that's most oriented toward live shows IMO, those riffs are made for moshing
Band leg presses: 12/12 x3
Lunges (both legs): 12/12 x3
Leg curls: 10/10, 1/10, 0/10
Dumbbell overheads: 10/10 x3
Dumbbell curls: 10/10 x3
Dumbbell rows: 10/10 x3
Dumbbell presses: 10/10 x3
Note: upper arm was with left side only
concert is still kicking my ass today
leg curls were impossible past first set because of exhaustion, and I strained something in my right arm. decided to play it safe and not push it there
Time: 1:30 warmup, 10:00 at speed
HR: 160
Band: Sodom. If Slayer is A+ and Kreator S, Sodom ranks at B+. They aren't catering to my exact taste, but it's still damn good metal. Not quite high energy enough to hit my sweet spot. Enjoyed it nonetheless.
how did you like their Surfin' Bird cover hahahaha
