training in the heat is a whole different thing tbh

Honestly didn't expect summer to hit this hard at the gym. Like I know it's warmer but I did my usual session on Monday and felt absolutely wiped halfway through in a way I normally don't. Had to drop the weight on my squats which was a bit deflating ngl. I've been drinking more water obviously but I think I need to actually rethink the timing of when I go? I used to go around 1pm but that's probably not helping. Thinking about shifting to early morning before uni or later in the evening when it cools down a bit. Stupid question but does your body genuinely perform worse in the heat or am I just being soft about it — because it felt like I was working twice as hard for half the results. I actually managed to push through and finish which I'm calling a win, but I came home and just lay on my floor for a good ten minutes lol
