 no longer the Swiss Deadlift record holder Member 3517, 3368 posts SQ 182.5, BP 122.5, DL 255560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | If by winter weather you mean cold and snow, then no. If by "winter" weather you mean cold and rain, then yes. | ||

I hit a pb today with a chest infection Member 3283, 1921 posts | I'm way more motivated to train through the winter than I am the summer. Hate training in the summer when it's hot, nothing pleasant about that imo | ||

 403 forbidden message Member 160, 5121 posts SQ 190, BP 137.5, DL 225552.5 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq | I find I can train a LOT harder in the winter. I love it when it's freezing outside as I still sweat like a fat cnt. Summer here in 40 degree heat is going to be HORRENDOUS. | ||

 'There was also a sausage in my mouth.' Member 2477, 16481 posts SQ 190, BP 130, DL 235555.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq | I dont think my motivation suffers particularly but I hate training in the cold. It makes my hips and everything feel horrible. | ||

My asshole is not watertight. Member 2926, 6050 posts SQ 217.5, BP 107.5, DL 225550.0 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq | I don't struggle getting out of the house but the gym where I'm training now is generally freezing to the point were I can see my breath. It takes ages to warm up and my joints never really feel as warm as during the summer. In addition to this I need to wear 3 t-shirts and 3 pairs of skins under my shorts so it's not doing my washing basket any good! | ||

 I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | I do have more joint soreness in the winter. I also have a tendency to have cold and bronchitis drag on for weeks, never getting really bad but not f**king OFF. British summers with that cloying, still humidity can f**k off too. Around the equinoxes are the best times in this country. | ||

 ‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3225 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq | Rick said:I do have more joint soreness in the winter.

Like the cold for training, but apart from that: can't stand the endless rain and dull grey skies my car can only put 1/10th its power down. gf from tropical country droning on about the cold and insisting the heating is turned up to 30C. | ||

#biggef Member 5263, 3492 posts SQ 260, BP 195, DL 260715.0 kgs @ 130kgs UnEq | As scruff says, I still get down to the gym but takes ages to warm up there is no heating at all so cold is really cold and hot is really hot. | ||

 Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17876 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | I agree with Jack and Rick, I will always go and train, but the colder it is the less pleasant it is. Really hot days are a pain, but are so few and far between that I feel obliged to like them. More than a week would get on my nerves, but when was the last time that happened ? | ||

Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22048 posts | It doesn't stop me, but it makes it a real chore. It seems the older I get the more I dislike the cold. | ||
