How often should we train wearing skins?

I trained wearing skins today, and what a difference they make!

It lead me to a question:

Should we train mostly in skins, or should they be limited to a couple of training sessions only, while training the muscles to cope without them more often than not?

They are fantastic at warming the muscles before training, especially in colder weather, and it allows you to kick right into top gear from the word go, where as without them, sometimes in cold weather you have to train for up to 10 minutes or so before the body core temperature reaches high enough to go 100% effort.

How often should we train in skins? All the time, sometimes, or on occasions?

lol training skins seems gimmicky to me... spend the 5 mins warming up properly and save yourself $200+

I thought for a while he was talking, birthday suit. One thought would be, not in Gym, as I'd possibly get booted out

Interesting maybe I should put on wetsuit to train. lol I donâ€™t think they are for me I like to wear as little as possible when I train.

So you say they actually make a difference? interesting
