Dont u think gyms would be better without the a/c??

[Vince22]

Its stupid the idea of having a gym with an a/c if ur going to the gym to sweat and having an ac makes it so difficult to sweat ....i mean maybe if a gym wouldnt have an ac that means u sweat and u dont have to do that much cardio after all....i was thinking of that cuz i went to this gym in dominican republic and u see all these guys with low body fat % and when i ask him how many times does he do cardio he told 1 or 2 times a week with min sessions..and he told me that in that gym since its kinda open they sweat like crazy (i did too) so what do u guys think wouldnt it be way better if the gym just had fresh air and not an ac ???

[Lintford]

Haha, dumbass.

Yeah, lets all work out in 10000 degree temperatures, then, we'll be ripped to shreads.

Sweat doesnt mean fat loss, at all. it is the regulation if body temperature.

[whistler]

Haha, dumbass.

Try and reply without that "ur stupid" mentality

[GTLifter]

heh no, but my gyme is a bit on the cool side, i belive he kips it 67 in there so i usually wear a sweatshirt to avoid my muscles from getting cold and strained.

[WCC]

Try and reply without that "ur stupid" mentality

why should he?
Lintford's right; the OP is an ass.

WTF do you think they have air conditioning for? air conditioning's great. it significantly improves workout quality - i wouldn't want to work out at a place that didn't have it. it's not nice working out when you're very hot - it's good to keep cool.

[InternetsUser]

Air conditioning in a gym isn't "stupid" but if it is excessive it isn't helping anything. I prefer cooler temperatures to warmer temperatures, but when I'm working out I don't care much as long as I'm not overheating or anything. If I cool down too much I fall out of the "zone"

[Rune44]

Scenario: your at the gym on a really hot day trying to bench press, there's no a/c, you've been working hard for half an hour already and your sweating you start your reps, you get overheated and lose energy, you try to push the weight up, you pass out, the weight falls on your face.

creatine is water retention, why do so many people take creatine if they want to sweat? water is about 80% of your body why do you want to lose it?

[Grand_Hustle]

yah a/c is a good idea man, esp kuz when its hot people fatigue and get lazy and just want a place to cool down. i was workin out the other day in a pretty cool room and this guy was like holy crap its freezing up here aren't you cold? and i was like no bcuz i was sweating from doin some intense workouts

[Sanj-]

yea....great idea sport.

exactly.
why would you want to lose water? why would people on here be drinking 1-2 gallons of water every day if they wanted to lose it all?

a/c is a good thing to have in the gym - drop this fake hardcore mentality and grow up. no matter how hardcore you think you are, workout quality will be affected if there's no a/c and it's hot.

[bodydynamics]

try having no ac in florida..you wouldnt make it out of the gym alive here.

[TeamInzer]

wtf

[Kano]

another teen section classic

[Ruger.22]

WTF? What a stupid thread.

[JeepSheep]

Baddd idea, I couldn't imagine the gym without heat either now that its gettin cooler here. Wakin up at 430AM in the cold then goin into a cold gym, now that would suck.

[Brokensteel]

I wish my gym had A/C. It's hot as hell in that place.

[FatKidsOnMopeds]

a/c sucks hard. can't get a sweat. there's a gym here i never go to for that reason, theres this huuuuuge fan in the ceiling i feel like im in a goddamn blizzard everytime i go in there.

[ZZ Top]

The a/c has its ups and downs. It depends on the person, if your the kinda person that actually likes to get a sweat going on then the a/c really sucks. If your the kinda person that doesnt need to sweat to get pumped then lifting without a/c sucks, it just depends on the person

[amt87]

Just loving the idea of having to wring my towel out, before moving on to the next machine and wipe another puddle of some guys sweat.

Don't you just love the it's not a cardio work out unless your dripping and lets just leave the puddle to motivate who ever comes along next guys

[theblaztoo]

why all of the sudden is this guy a dumbass? Theres a big myth that a lot of people believe sweating makes you lose weight or become ripped. Now a lot of the more experienced people on here know thats not true... but obviously he doesn't, is it really a big deal? I mean just tell him that it's not healthy an has no benifits an leave it at that. That what the forums are for... asking questions.

[theblaztoo]

Lintford, since every time someone makes a thread asking a question some people consider stupid, or its a topic been explained a lot an you either call call them a dumbass or ****tard or whatever, or tell them to use the god damn search button, I decided to look up some of the thread you made when you first joined:
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=634683 -creatine thread asking how much you should take, hmm coulda searched?
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=634681 - oo another creatine thread asking how much you should take an what you should take with it... coulda searched?
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=631290 - overtraining thread where you saying hurting the next day is good...

So instead of jumping all over these noobs, calling them names, help them like all the other people helped you when you were a noob.

[JellyBeans]

my friend has his own gym at his palce I went there once. no fans or A/C... cmon he can afford a gym but not a $20 fan? LOL well my point is my workout SUCKED!!!! I was sweating so ****ing much I had to rest so much between sets it wasn't good at all!

I agree. Simply answering his question politely would have been far more mature. However, it seems most ppl here would rather take the route of bashing the new people around.

[theblaztoo]

bump for lintford to reply

[cooper...]

Lintford was right here mate. noobs keep asking dumb or the same questions over and over, so instead of typing out another answer [that he's done 100 times] they are told to search.

its in the thread rules up top of the section, noobs have gotta stop asking stupid questions to which they could figure out the answer themselves

[cssprophet]

How do you people not sweat just because the A/C is running? Do they have it cranked to 40* or something?

There's no half-way successful gym in existance that doesn't have central air. A/C doesn't mean freezing cold temperatues. It's useful for regulating air temperature and keeping the humidity down.

[tatortotajigalo]

hmmm....you live in maine?

[Killa Cris]

Another great thread brought to you by the Teen Section.

I wouldn't want to be in a building without a AC, why the hell would I lift in one without it?

[Dom_88]

No man. Sweating=dehydration and body temperature regulation. But come on dude, do some research. How old are you?

What is your point theblaztoo? That Lintford was at one point inexperienced? So what? You were, I was, and everybody was. Everyone is a dick to noobs when they first join the forums, its like a rite of passage for em, its good for them! Its kinda like beating your kids for being bad, if you never do it they'll become total douchebags.

My two cents...
