Songs that are great for strength training: Recommended BGM for the gym and workouts (41–50)
THE HERO !!JAM Project
JAM Project is a vocal group with worldwide popularity.
They’re famous for including well-known anison singers like Hironobu Kageyama and Masaaki Endoh.
Their song “THE HERO!!” was used as the theme song for the hit anime One-Punch Man.
Since the track’s voltage shoots to max right from the intro, I think it’s perfect for a hard workout.
It suits early-set reps better than late-set reps, so try playing it at the start of your training session!

Dynamite out of nowhere!MIGHTY JAM ROCK
MIGHTY JAM ROCK is a veteran reggae group from the West.
It’s the legendary group that JUMBO MAATCH, the third-generation Monster on the popular show “Freestyle Dungeon,” belongs to.
Their track ‘Ikinari Dynamite!’ isn’t the most famous in their catalog, but it’s extremely popular among hardcore fans.
That’s because this song is basically pure vibes—a track that feels like it was made for training! Definitely check it out!
AtmosphereNagan Server
This track blends Architect’s deeply crafted production—skillfully using the classic breakbeat drum break from Apache—with Nagan Server’s sophisticated rap.
Its cool mood invites introspection while motivating focused training.
The BeginningONE OK ROCK
ONE OK ROCK’s iconic song “The Beginning,” released in 2012.
It’s their seventh single and was used as the theme song for the film Rurouni Kenshin.
Many of you probably know it, but the chorus is insanely intense.
It’s also got a serious melody, so I recommend it to trainees right before a competition.
If you listen to it near the end of a high-rep workout, the melody might help you push past your limits.
Just be careful not to go full “Polomboy-ism”!

It’s a song you can enjoy without overthinking—just picture someone you admire and focus wholeheartedly on pumping up your muscles.
