Same. It was -10 here. Between sets I was digging out my car from the snow. My intraworkout shake froze before I finished with it.
Probably should get some good gloves, wool socks and good boots though. And a hat if you weren’t using one. It’s not going to be much warmer tomorrow, single digits at best.
@lorez oh I had one on of everything that you listed. What’s your Intra workout shake look like?

LOL I’m pretty sure our Squats and Deads are similar too. Dammit
-2 here. -25 windchill . 15 plus inches snow in 2 days…here in Michigan. I feel lucky that I have an extra room to train in vs. The garage.

Btw the garage was made in 1917 so it’s not exactly very efficient at keeping heat in lol
@spidey I weigh a lot more tho so it cancels out lol

Then you need better stuff, lol. Fingers and toes really shouldn’t be getting cold. I decided this year to upgrade most of my cold weather stuff and it’s definitely made a difference. I’m pretty sure I outlined everything in my log a few weeks back if you’re curious.
FWIW, I lifted with the garage door open and didn’t get cold at all.
Intraworkout-wise, it currently looks like:
20g peptopro (casien hydrolized into di- and tri- peptides) + 30g highly branched cyclic dextrins + 5g electrolytes + MiO flavoring
Similar to, but not the same as, MAG-10 + more carbs. Or Plazma minus the additional magic. However you want to look at it.
Eventually when I run out of this stuff, I’ll give the “real” products a trial.

I’m in the same boat as you as I’m weary of gimmicks. I just roll the outside of my quad (IT band maybe?) and then sit on my butt place my right ankle on my left knee and roll my glute until there aren’t any sore spots anymore then switch. I normally just roll before I squat and deadlift as I feel like it helps my mobility and low back tightness the next day. I used to not do anything to warm up though so it might be that any small thing that I started doing would help.[/quote]
I use a foam roller all the time and I have had the privilege to work with multiple Division 1 athletes all of whom used foam rollers. Almost all of them had decreased joint pain and increased ROM which led to more success in the weight room and on the field. Foam rolling, aka myofascial release, will help mobilize muscle tissue, which has a couple benefits: greater range of motion and increased stability throughout range of motion WITHOUT negatively impacting force production being the main ones. So, if you’re hips/shoulders are more mobile/stable and can handle larger loads, your PR’s will fall like dominos.
Nice work so far, keep on grinding brother
