Summer heat and cycle gains
ad
Did any one else have hard time getting the gains they wanted this summer due to the heat and working outside. Yes i had good gains but not what i wanted. Summer heat took its tool on my body this Summer. When it was so hot out it makes it very hard to eat and after long day in heat made me a little lazy going to at times. I do not care how much test you do after a long hard day in the heat you will be tired...

The heat dulls my appetite for sure. I have to force it down, which as a greedy shit with food is not the norm for me. I'm ok training in it, but tbh I do prefer winter cycling.
Im running low carbs and gym til failure in morning. Work swingshift in sun. By night i'm wiped out. Gaining muscle fast and fat dropping but ya...sun is wiping the energy as bad as low carbs. Drinking gallon water and a gatorade when i can.
tread-mWhat helps me if going to be in the heat an extended period of time is to bring along a couple of 4 scoop shakers. I just slug on those every little bit and chug water inbetween to stay hydrated. At minimal I've found it helps maintain my weight. Have had a couple of the hottest of hottest days I did see a loss but its mostly dehydration so comes back over night. If you can't eat chug that shaker brother, at least you are feeding those muscles.
shoxingbiceps17I had to change my lean mass cycle to a cutting cycle. shit sucked! tired, sweating, loss of appetite....terrible! atleast i look good lol small, but ripped
Same here brother. At work about half the time i'm walking around on hot ass roofs and the heat deffinatley effected my eating habits. I also got some good gain, but like you they were not what i had expected. Thats why i decided to take a break untill Jan 1st.......then let the games begin.
I am a concrete finisher. Much respect to the roofers you guys have one of the hottest jobs hands down...
Funny...I'm just the opposite!
I've ALWAYS found my MOST PRODUCTIVE & best workouts to be on the HOTTEST days...
I Hate those Arctic Cold days during the winter..seems like it takes an eternity to get warmed up and break a solid sweat... I'm not satisfied with my workout until I'm DRENCHED in sweat....those workouts make for a really good nights sleep! Afterwards I take a nice 15minute HOT SHOWER & finish it with a final minute of ICE COLD WATER! Shocks the system then a nice calm feeling....Sleep like a Baby Gorilla!!!
I ran bulker this Summer rather than a cutter. Winter maybe a cutter . That where i go opposite of other people ...
the gym i trained at this summer did not have ac. it ruined my workouts every time, and im pissed. i hate feeling like i am going to die when i am just trying to do a good workout.
A lot of the time i was dead due to the heat and i found my self hitting the gym on Sat. To make up days i missed when the heat just kicked my ass...
