A lot of my workout music has been Electronic: Carpenter Brut, Perturbator, Scattle, Magic Sword.
“Turbo Killer” by Carpenter Brut (also has a cool music video) or “Castle of Glass M. Shinoda Remix” by Linkin Park are my two go to songs for digging deep.
Kind of cheesy, but Power by Kanye gets me through the last few minutes of the ramp test or hard intervals.
Perturbator is great
God, that’s a good one. I’ma add that to my playlist now.
Pendulum - Propane Nightmares… does the job nicely
The Decline - NOFX
18 minutes long.
Pantera - Walk
When it’s over and you’re dead, “Walk on home boy”
This thread has taught me that most trainerroad users listen to music I’ve never heard of.
I haven’t gotten around to making a playlist or anything for a ramp test. But I think I would go with this one:
Linkin Park - Bleed it Out
Back in high school before running the 800 I would always listen to ACDC’s Thunderstruck or
…while doing a ramp test.
I’m not cranking out the metal while I’m cruising around in Z2 or gardening or soaking in a bubble bath.
Exactly. My wife calls my cycling playlists my “angry music.”
Tool - Invincible was the last one I believe I listened to. Song is almost 13 minutes so took care of the bulk of it…
Seriously. It’s either that or Space Unicorn by Parry Gripp.
Hilltop Hoods - Rattling the keys to the Kingdom
Really gets me going, helps me push through the last little bit.
Killing in the name by RATM. Hit play at 15:35 for just the right boost.
My legs are like “Stop pedalling you idiot. This really hurts”.
RATM and my long gone teenage self is like “FU I won’t do what you tell me”. “FU I WON’T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME”!!!
Gotta love a good sign along.
The Wheels on the Bus. Suits any interval
Any Zwift racer will get this🤪
Is the Metallica Breadfan the Budgie song?
What %ftp do you ride an hour at to judge TTE? 100%, probably less
Yup, it’s a Budgie cover, but the orig is pretty sweet — so heavy for its time! Metallica also did a cover of Queen’s Stone Cold Crazy which is also Ramp test worthy.
TTE test:
10min @ 95-96% current FTP
15min @ 102%
35min @ 103-120%
