From the Brickyard | Subject: The tracks the Musclebuilder trains, lives, and conquers to
——
Every man building muscle, building purpose, building a life worth living—he needs a soundtrack.
Not just something to play in the background.
But something that pulls him forward.
That lifts more than weights.
That silences the noise of the world and amplifies the mission.
This is that soundtrack.
Welcome to Brickwall’s Audio Arsenal—a curated vault of battle music, war drums, recovery anthems, and heaters for you, the Musclebuilder (and some for the Iron Princess, too).
This is a very select list, vetted for vibe, emotion, and lyrical content.
Only the tracks that hit HARD and hit TRUE made it.
Nothing that doesn’t unleash or build you is in here.
⚠️ Note: New songs will be added as they’re discovered.
Let’s begin.

We’re building a movement, and this is the soundtrack.
Brick by brick.
