10 Strong Workout Songs to Power You Through Your Most Intense Sweat Sessions

There are two keys to building a great strength training playlist: turning down the tempo and turning up the intensity. The tempo matters because you're going to doing fewer reps-and moving slower-than in a cardio routine. The intensity matters because each of those reps is require more from you. So in this playlist, we've collected 10 recent tracks that fit these two criteria exactly.

Rap is the dominant force in this beats per minute (BPM) range, so you'll find a handful of hip-hop hits below-along with a pair of posse cuts featuring Miley Cyrus and Justin Timberlake. Elsewhere, there are rock tracks with big beats from Bastille and Panic! at the Disco. Lastly, electronic fans can check out a scorching club tune from The Glitch Mob and a collaboration featuring Jay Z and Baauer (of "Harlem Shake" fame.)

On the whole, the playlist provides consistent tempos and unwavering drive, but-within those constraints-there's still plenty of variety. Ideally, this combo should keep you both motivated and interested during your toughest workouts. When you're ready to yourself to the test, you'll find loads of support below.
