[QUOTE="Mountain Man, post: 56320, member: 14411"] I'm sure it can. When i was younger, I used to listen to a lot of heavy metal and rock. Fit the mindset I had as a young man. Today I prefer to work out alone, in silence, and use the time as if it is an active meditation. I try to get as deeply into the muscle contraction as I can and create a mind muscle connection. Music distracts me from that, so I prefer silence. When I was 15, I worked out a gym owned by John Decola, the 1969 IFBB Mr. America. He was training for the Mr. America that summer. He used to close the gym each afternoon to work out alone in absolute silent concentration. My buddy and I were allowed to also workout during that time as long as we didn't speak and agreed to answer the phone and tell people the gym was closed. Needless to say we never said a word...ever...when he was working out. He swore by the mind muscle connection and is still alive and incredibly impressive at age 77. I got to think that the way he trained contributed to long term health. The weight itself wasn't as important as how it felt, contraction over poundages. For me, music blaring is for the younger guys. I hope this is the only sign I'm getting old.. [/QUOTE]
