    Could it be because you eat more during the winter?

    I would expect better gains in the summer because

    1) Your body is more able to function when it's a little warm as opposed to a little cold (or 30° as it is in my basement);

    2) People are generally happier in the summer because there's more daylight, it's the time to do all their favorite things, and winter sucks ass;

    3) People usually have vacations, time off, and spend more time doing things they like in the summer, which means they're happier, and a happy mind means a happy body (that sounded dumb).

    HAH! I'd go with the opposite of that, but I work nights and live in the South where we have two non-consecutive weeks of winter, and have already had 100degree days.

    Hahaha. Well I guess it just matters where you live. People seriously get depressed in the winter though. I can't blame 'em - 9 months of darkness and cold. Not very much fun.

    I keep reading about that. But I wind up not sleeping much at all over the summer, by August I'm pretty nuts from accumulated sleep deprivation. Which led to me taking up lifting last fall, and buying a condo the fall before.
    Where do you live that winter is most of the year?

    I don't really care what time of the year it is, as long as I have the time. Summer is probably when I'll be able to lift most and have a steady schedule and stuff, even though I don't like Summer all that much. I prefer Fall and sometimes Winter.
    Well, I won't say my stats right now, because they're actually pretty pathetic. I used to workout years ago, but it was on and off anyway.
