It’s going to be at least 100 degrees here in Richmond, VA today.  It will be over 100 tomorrow.  I train outside and in my strength shed that’s more like a Guantanamo Bay hot box!  Honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way.  The old school gym I grew up training in had no AC in the summer.

I remember coming in after working construction during the summers and loving it.  There was one huge fan but that was it.  It was the type of environment that made you bring 2-3 shirts to train.  So, as you can see very early on I got used to the heat and welcomed it.

Now some will probably get pissed and comment how unsafe training in such an environment is for you.  I say stop being such a cry baby and DO WORK!  You aren’t going to get any more jacked or ripped or whatever your goal is by whining about the heat.  Like NIKE says “just do it!”

The iron won’t lift itself!

Today it was brutal in the strength shed.  It was at least 85 degrees when I started and it was AWESOME!
