Title: does training in SUMMER or WINTER conditions effect strength?
Post by: the shadow on December 09, 2006, 11:27:49 AM
is this true that if you train in winters you tend to lift more weight than you do in summers?

It is definitely true. My strength tends to stagnate during the summer, and go up during the winter and spring.

you are probably more active with outdoor activities and probably eating somewhat lighter, which would mean you probably have less fat and less strength.

during the winter you probably eat heavier food and are less active thus stronger.

obviously if its hot it would affect performance

usually true because people tend to get heavier in the winter.  more bodyweighte=you can lift higher numbers

does training in SUMMER or WINTER conditions effect strength?

About as much as hitting on 13-year-old children (and getting turned doen) does, Sushnant Kapur!



Next question?  ::)

I would say it does affect it to some degree, but only slightly. Why are most of the WSM competitors from Scandinavia and other cold countries? You don't see many from the Middle East or Africa.

Maybe they've got other things on their minds in Africa anyway, like clean drinking water, growing food, and reducing corruption and civil war?  ;D

maybe they are too busy trying to suvive the latest warlord and find food for their family.

It is kind of hard to buy Goat whey protein when your whole family is starving.

Stupid!? Good reasoning. How old are you? Perhaps, the reasons are more to do with funding, national sports interests (soccer) availability of equipment, etc. rather than some kind of thermal determinism. In any case, the Middle East is chock-a-block with serious Olympic weight lifting talent. Try googling, oh say, Rezazedah, for example.

Strong people come from Northern Europe.

Everyone else sucks ass.

Hope this helps.

i think so there is a difference between olympia weightlifters and strongman....iranian weightlifters are by nature known for their strength..rezazedah is a freak..he is the greatest weightlifter of all time..

Here's a simple one for you guys goto each country and try to by roids. It's just my guess but maybe just maybe it's eassiest in northern Europe than again maybe that's why there's all those starving people in africa cuz weightlifters are eating all the food.
