96* here in MD with heat index I’m sure well over 100.
One of the AC units at my gym is broken, so it’s 78* in the fitness center.
It’s a struggle to workout when it’s 73 or above (I can’t do the same weight for all my sets, and it takes my almost twice as long to complete the workout).
It’s 78* in here now, this is BS.
anyone else struggling with the heat? does it affect your performance?
Sorry, but I don’t mind it. This is close to what it feels like in the desert (Iraq). I tend to do a lil better in the heat for some reason. Hell, I had some of my best gains ever in the heat.
We are over 100 in some parts of the city. This is when I support energy system training. I have a little extra something in the tank for lifting on days like today.

Same here, except for the Iraq part.
I hope the heat keeps the monday crowd out of the gym today so I have room to do stuff for once.

Suck it up, you pussy. I train outside and it’s been 100 the last couple of days. That does NOT include the humidity, which is so thick you could cut it with a knife. As we were discussing in the T-Cell the other day, training is a blessing, count yourself lucky every time you are privileged enough to get under the iron.
I moved to London for a reason - and it wasn’t the heat!
I swear it was like a sauna today - I have to cycle 30min to work, and then 30 min to the gym so I spent almost 2 hours trying to get my workout done today, while towling down in between sets.
It’s ridiculous - bring back the clouds.
You’d think I’d be used to it being born and raised in South Africa.
It was 98 degrees here…with 50%humidity. Doesn’t bother me as far as weight workouts…but it damn near gives a authentic “Thailand” feel to muay thai class as we don’t have AC.
Its helping build tolerance to it as long as I stay hydrated(I love Smart Water).
I can’t handle the heat, never have. It’s been high 90’s, and the humidity is just terrible.
I like cold. All I can keep thinking about is the mini blizzard we had just a few months ago. I spent 3 hours shoveling 4 feet of snow out of a driveway that’s 20 feet long, and I did it all in a tshirt, cotton shorts, and a pair of commando boots. Felt so good.

That was the one nice thing about TX heat when I was there, the humidity wasn’t that bad. In MD, more often than not it’s near 100% when it’s really hot out
