Thank God for Keith. Hope your putting all these things together for a book. Your contributions are greatly appreciated.

I love training outdoors in winter...I find the air is easier to breath and that I have much more strength.

Hey i used to train in a gym here in Phoenix that had no a/c, it would reach 120 plus in the summer

Awesome... makes me want to run back to the gym and squat again...

How strong were the guys spotting you, I don't think I'd trust my lifting partners to hold 675 pounds while I crawled under it.

That's way hardcore.
Our gym in Afghanistan was an open tent, but avg temperature was about 130*. One day a storm came in and brought more sand than water with it. It just blew in out of nowhere and hit on my second rep of a 5 rep set of deadlifts. Despite being blind and having nostrils full of sand, I finished that set and the rest of my workout. The sand was blowing too hard to leave, so I figured I might as well stay and finish lifting.

you can take the man out of the gym, but you can't take the gym out of the man. A determined and dedicated individual will find a way to train no matter what the fuck life throws his way. guys like Keith who are strong as fuck didn't have a perfect training environment their whole lifting career. you do what you can, where you are, with what you have, and you strive to improve. Life aint all roses and rimjobs gentlemen. Nice article keith.

Shit -- that sub almost sounds worse than a Bally's or Fitness USA.
