Re: Cold Weather
How does cold weather help you? If you cool down a muscle it can help you - get a strain or a sprain! What whistlehead told you this stuff? Cold only helps after the workout to reduce blood flow and help reduce inflammation, but not during a workout.Originally posted by OhYeah2004

I have heard just the opposite. Vince Gironda, the greatest trainer to every live, used to keep his gym bazing hott b/c he believed it helped muscle growth.

maybe you meant at a higher altitude? not colder, but it would be colder at a higher altitude

Re: Cold Weather
Cold weather has been mentioned in here once or twice. I think the idea is if you're shivering your muscles are actually contracting and relaxing hundreds of times. Also if it's cold when you train you have to use energy to maintain your body temperature, so it helps with fat loss.Originally posted by OhYeah2004

Like I said, that's what been talked about on these boards. Seems to make sense, but I'm not 100% sure."Something witty and humorous"
