Squat tracks need a driving, relentless beat. Springsteen’s “Radio Nowhere” (from Magic) is a surprising but perfect choice. The pulsating guitar riff and the boss’s gravelly “I was trying to find my way home” lyric mirror the internal monologue during the second weight-loading block. This is a “power squat” track: 4 minutes of steady, heavy resistance with a single short break in the middle. Expect a lot of “wide stance” pulses.
This release is characterized by a high-energy soundtrack with a focus on muscular endurance, featuring a notably long and challenging Squat track.

P!nk’s U + Ur Hand is aggressive, driving, and perfect for heavy lifting. In BP47, the squat track features a notoriously painful “bottom half” pulses sequence during the bridge. Veteran participants still shudder when they hear this song.
This is arguably the most controversial pick on the album. Chest tracks typically require aggressive, punchy beats. Instead, BP47 uses the euphoric, harping crescendo of Florence Welch. The first half is slow, controlled push-ups on the bench. But as the song explodes into “Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father,” the tempo doubles into speed reps. It’s a genius cardio-chest hybrid that leaves your pectorals singing.

Warm-up (Track 1): “Raise Your Weapon” starts with a slow, atmospheric build before introducing a steady beat, allowing participants to load bars and rehearse squat and press motions without fatigue. Squat tracks need a driving, relentless beat
Squats (Track 2): “S&M” provides a driving, fast tempo (≈128 BPM) to encourage high-repetition lower-body work. The remix adds drops that align with changes between pulse and full-range squats.
Chest (Track 3): The “Born This Way” remix uses a confident, mid-tempo beat (≈125 BPM) with clear downbeats for bench presses and push-ups. The remix lengthens instrumental sections to accommodate 4–5 minutes of continuous chest work.
Back (Track 4): “We Found Love” introduces a euphoric, building progression—ideal for clean-and-press and rowing sequences. The chorus drops align with heavier lifting counts.
Triceps (Track 5): “Sexy and I Know It” uses a staccato, percussive bassline to guide kickbacks and dips. The humorous lyrics also provide a psychological break before the more serious biceps track.
Biceps (Track 6): Coldplay’s “Paradise” slows the tempo slightly (≈115 BPM) for controlled curls. The anthemic chorus helps sustain motivation during the often-painful final third of the biceps track. Do not search for illegal downloads
Lunges (Track 7): “Turn Me On” has a heavy, syncopated bass drop that matches alternating lunges and squat pulses. The remix extends the bridge for recovery steps.
Shoulders / Power Track (Track 8): “Pump It” is explicitly chosen for its aggressive, percussion-heavy break. This track focuses on overhead presses and upright rows at a slower tempo but higher intensity.
Core (Track 9): Adele’s “Set Fire to the Rain” is stripped down or remixed with a steady snare for plank hold timing and oblique crunches. The emotional vocal line helps participants breathe through abdominal fatigue.
Cool-down (Track 10): “Titanium” (acoustic version) slows to ≈70 BPM, with extended chords for hamstring, quad, and back stretches.
