I am quit confused whether to take steroids or not. My co lifters are saying to take it so that my total get increased cause they were taking it. Please help me. And please tell me about temperature factor on training. Your lifts are pretty good for 180 pounds.
Steroids are never an alternative though.
You may be overtraining to try to gain. Examine some of my suggestions about varying reps. This type of training does not allow your muscles to get used to one rep scheme because you change reps every 3 weeks. As far as temperature, this is up to what you have available. I used to train in a garage with a torpedo heater for heater during cold Midwest winters.
