I’ve always liked training hard throughout the winter, especially in the gym.
The winter is by far the best time of the year to gain some body weight and lift heavy weights.
And to be honest with you, I actually miss running outside in the winter.
It has been probably 10 years since I have run outside throughout the entire winter and that year was most likely my best physique ever.

Right now my training is going full steam. My bench press is in the 275 range, I deadlifted 455 x 2 last Friday and my squats are nearing the 315.
This year, I also decided to keep up with my cardio. Although I am only doing the treadmile, I am still getting close to 2 miles in 14 minutes and under.
Winter is a time to work. Time to stop looking into the mirror and to just put in the work.
My plan going forward is to keep lifting heavier in the gym, continue with my cardio and when I start cutting down in the Spring, I should be looking jacked.
P.S. I am strongly considering a powerlifting competition in early 2020, it has been about 4 or 4 years and I am overdue.
