BGM to listen to during strength training: Music that gets you pumped (21–30)
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”!
Gym TimeYoung Hastle
YOUNG HASTLE, affectionately known as “Yanhass.” He’s an MC who’s always working out, so not only the heads but people in the fitness industry probably know him too.
As the title suggests, “Gym Time” is a track made for working out.
A fun twist is how it switches into trap music midway through.

It also gained attention as the official theme song for the 2001 Fukuoka World Aquatics Championships.
Tak Matsumoto’s razor-sharp guitar and Koshi Inaba’s soaring vocals blend seamlessly to convey deep themes such as self-actualization and growth.
Highly recommended if you’re looking for an anthem that pushes you forward as you face your limits.
