I train in my non air conditioned basement which is cooler than my non air conditioned upstairs, but still hot.
There is no doubt that training in the heat takes more outta me. Especially on leg day. Fatigue sets in sooner. I get through it, but it’s easier in the winter.

Yep. The people complaining in June about the heat are usually the same ones complaining in January about the cold and snow. My girlfriend is like that. She’s only happy if it’s 70-75 and sunny, so like 4 days a year. Otherwise it’s too hot/cold.
We have been lucky so far this year in Az. This is the first of the heat this year. In the past we have warmed up as early as March. I am aspiring to be a snow bird.
I’ve ruined my internal thermostat by working in a chilly basement year round for a decade. Consequently I feel like I’m getting heat stroke just being still on normally warm days. But the last few days are nearly intolerable… unless I’m cutting the grass and get a good sweat going.
Long Island has hit record highs the last 3 days,and the humidity has been brutal,was just as bad after the sevre storms that blew through.Like some here,I can train no problem in the heat,helps sweat out the toxins

I can take the cold. I can put on more and more clothes, I can only take so much off.
that’s my motto
Ain’t been too bad the past few days in eastern Mississippi but last week was death. We had a 7-on-7 camp for some high schoolers and I had the profound honor of working it the entire day from 8am to 5:30pm at 96 degrees.

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?[/quote]

Arizona = no humidity
Suprisingly its 92 here right now with only 42% humidity in Columbia…extremely low humidity for here any time of the year…much less summer[/quote]
humidity means dick,
when its hot its hot
you tell me you would take our
120* heat over your 90* heat just because its a “dry heat” you have obviously never experianced a dry heat have you?
I remember when I was in washington state and it was 103 people were complianing and going to the hospital because of the heat.
while i have my windows open because I think its nice.
heat is a relative term though
I myself am at home in the sun and the heat.
but if its not the humidity its the sun that will get ya every time
but yes you are right it is only like 10% humidity
alot of times its single digits
but that really makes the heat more dangerous ,its the other extreme really

Uhhh…to be honest 120 with no humidity is better that 103 with 100% humidity. When it is humid our natural cooling system doesn’t work to well and it is easier to overheat.
