Was curious to know what others' experience was on this. At this point I am used to working out of my garage in the heat (I've been working out of the garage for a year and a half now), but as I've been pushing into heavier weight the heat takes it's toll on my recovery time between lifts. Sometimes I just walk inside but mentally I prefer to stay put in front of my barbell.
I was eyeballing a cheap $220 AC unit at Costco. It's a window unit designed for a 350 sq ft room but I was thinking it might do the trick to take the edge off. Who knows, maybe even just a high powered fan would do. They've also got the nicer ones that roll around and run between $400-$600 but I'd rather save that money for my first competition. I'm a renter so I don't want to invest in anything permanent. Prefer to workout with the garage door open so I have plenty of light.
Do you guys have any thoughts/recommendations/suggestions? My garage is two car, about 500 sq ft. I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area so humidity plays a bit of a factor sometimes too.
Thanks all for your thoughts!
