Question for the week. 

It's open mat, you're warmed up, you've picked your first victim....err partner, the timer's about to start.....

What music do you want playing? 

Or do you just want silence to concentrate? 

I'm all over the place with my music but during open mat it's gotta be up tempo. 

Also, I like the volume up but not too high.  I need my partner to hear that I'm talking trash and/or serenading them.   😜
