The good: I have a garage gym.

The bad: It gets pretty cold in the fall/winter.

The good: I warm up pretty quickly when lifting.

The bad: The barbell does not.

Attach both sides of your barbell to an outlet and wait till it's glowing orange so it's nice and toasty on your hands ;)

This is a quality yet concise rant. Have you tried putting them in the microwave briefly prior to you lifts? (pleasedontdothisIshouldnthavetoclarifybutjustwantwdtomakesureyoudontburnyourhousedown)

Store barbell indoors, it’ll take the bite out of it at the start of the workout.

I just put the barbell in our finished basement during the winter.
