Ditto for South Dakota. Was just negative 50 here last week.
My thermostat at home says 70âŠi have a room thats 55 or less inmy house.
55 isnât that cold. But sit still in 55° with a fan on you, now youâre likely chilly. Put a sweatshirt on and move around, not so bad huh?
I can chop wood in 25 degrees with a t shirt on, i also get cold at work cause our hvac is a little fucked in our building.
There is some wierd tick with guys, we love to watch others who are cold, and even though we may feel the same, havent said anything about it, and arenât showing it. So we get to condescend
âHuh, pussy, Iâm not coldââŠ
Simply dress for the occasion, are you wearing shorts and a t shirt to a 40 degree gym? Wear long johns if you have to, wear sweatpantsâŠshit wear a beanie. Donât get caught up in the actual temperature in degrees. People say âI like it coldâ only to find out they donât actually know what temperature it is in the room that theyâre comfortable in, and you find out itâs 73deg in that room. Dumb machoness.
And itâs all relative, if you want to feel comfortable in 50 degrees, go get used to 30 degrees or cooler. We had highs last week in the -15F range with wind chills down near -60âŠnow we get 3F for a high and it feels really nice.
Problem is, now the guys at the gym now it bothers you, and they may keep the windows closed until you show up 
Donât know about anyone else but I am having a hard time taking this whole issue seriously.

If you dislike the gym that you train at so much, why not either a) train at a different gym or b) get yourself a home/garage gym?
Get the fuck outta here! Why would I rectify my issue in the easiest most obvious way possible?

I like it a little chilly, usually around 55-60 is perfect once Iâm warmed up. Any warmer Iâll start dripping sweat which is really annoying. If itâs too warm (75+) my workout starts to suffer and I donât feel like I fully recover between sets.
I think most people like it warmer, especially girls since they always seem to be cold.
I like going to Costco and watching people walk out, then try and find their keys, get their kids in and unload their groceries.
Bonus points if they drop the keys or if thereâs snow in the ground.
Act like you donât know what Iâm talking about. I hear it almost everyday. Last week a supervisor was scoffing at some immigrants who froze in 35deg temps. Cause that would never happen to him, cause heâs acclimated bro.
Iâve been told that 45deg on a motorcycle, in a tshirt, on the highway is ok (itâs not)âŠonly to watch the same loser wear a jacket to work on a 50 degree morning while driving his truck to work.
Guys on our production floor will take the opportunity to point out that they are in tshirts while the office people are all wearing long sleeve shirts etc. cause their super tough!
Sometimes, Iâm hot, sometimes Iâm cold, I understand why though.
Do you mean to tell me youâve never experienced this behavior? No? Bullshit, or youâre just oblivious, which I will accept.
Another angle on it is this: We will all look down one someone who is faced with a challenge that we feel we have at one point over come (in this case being cold)⊠This is when Humans are at their worst. Watch someone teach someone else something that they fully understand, they will laugh at the âstupid questionsâ being asked. They will take any opportunity to condescend, 80% of people that is.
Alright guys, there ya go. I notice what you havenât. Doesnât mean I/you are right/wrong, it just means that I have noticed it and kept track of it cause I think its a low-quality trait (looking down on others that havenât overcome a specific challenge) that I would like to avoid having. Retort, flame, last word, itâs all yours!

I donât know what youâre talking about.
I spent 1.5 months outside training with Korean Marines (ROK Marines) in the mountains in Korea. In winter. We were all cold and miserable, and come rack time, we would double up inside sleeping bags.
This straight up means youâre right and Iâm wrong.
Itâs obvious whatâs going on here- you and the OP go to the same gym.

Interesting. So tell me, how long before some pec sweat would start to build up? Leave no details out.

I saw this happen to my buddy from Puerto Rico. He went from sunny and 70 to sub zero in western PA within the span of 12 hrs. That dude was in shock for a week. We didnât fuck with him though. He was a bad ass with a blow torch so we gave him all of the cutting and stuff to do until he got geared up.
First snowfall later that year and he was on a plane back in the blink of an eye though.
