liftathomeguy Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Hi everyone. I have a question. I am meant to train this evening, and I REALLY want to, but I have a pretty nasty cold/flu/whatever-it-is. I'm training one-on-one with a PT NOT in a gym, and I've asked my trainer if he wants me to stay away, and he doesn't. So my question isn't about infecting anyone else, but more about is it good or bad to train when you are under the weather as I am? I've heard that a hard workout temporarily impacts your immune system. I don't mind just toughing out whatever bug I have, but I don't want to make myself even more sick and have to miss out on even more training in the long run. Any advice?

biggurl27 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Dude you might have swine flu! I'd stay at home and watch telly in bed. Best to train when you are 100% and can make the most of it imo :nod: You're not going to shrink in one day :naughty: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advice?Yeah, first of all..training with a cold/flu/whatever u have is a no no.....second of all...your trainer is a muppet for saying not to stay away....but its your body... :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shruglife Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Training hard impacts your body's immune system to a degree and makes you more susceptible to getting sick. A flu is not going to get worse from training though imo, your body will recover in practically the same amount of time as it would if you didn't train.Dude you might have swine flu! I'd stay at home and watch telly in bed. Best to train when you are 100% and can make the most of it imo :nod: You're not going to shrink in one day :naughty:I doubt he has the Swine Flu or he would know about it and if he was going to rest it would be for more than one day I'm assuming. I can't stand losing gains lying in bed but there is the ethical issue of going to the gym when your sick and potentially infecting other people and thats not really fair...

I'm gonna stay right where I am in bed.That decision is never easy! Yes but pointless if your sick and put more of a strain on the immune system and go putting your germs on all the equipment getting everyone else sick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlBundy Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 The decision is easy if you have the actual flu. Any strain of influenza is going to roll you with a fever and possible body aches. That said if it's just a cold then it's hard not to. Colds are weaksauce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 DONT GO TO THE GYM IF YOUR SICK ... its f*cking disgusting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VampireChick Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 DONT GO TO THE GYM IF YOUR SICK ... its f*cking disgustingTrue that. Wouldn't want any flu germs on the equipment and all that.Plus there's nothing wrong with taking a couple days off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
severe Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Definitely stay at home. The immune system needs to focus on attacking the invaders. You dont want teh body to be trying to repair muscle damage as well.sucks a big one, but you have to let logic take control. Take time off and let your body recharge. Does good once and a while to lay off anyways... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurasaur Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 rofl. I will stay away from the gym If I have a flu but for nothing less. Currently harboring mean food poisoning, definitely won't be seeing the gym today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostinggtir Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 So the mods delete a comment saying"Days off are for pussies" an leave a post saying..."You sound like one of those girls that considers taking it up the ass not losing their virginity."Love the consistency. :doh: :roll: :clap: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Hi. I'm looking at doing a 10 wk cycle of testosterone proprionate - 1ml a week. I'm 34, 5'9 and just under 80kg. Upper body is okay, but of course I want more size, and I really need to work on my legs (which are too embarrassingly skinny for me to show you all!) I've been training on and off for years, and very seriously for the last 4 months or so. I train 4 x a week, and eat pretty well (can always do better there, but yes I do know what I SHOULD be eating and I'm not too far off). Is this cycle a good idea, and what kind of results can I expect? Any particular side effects to watch out for with this one, and do I need to take that stuff at the end to get my natural test levels back?i noticed you posted this in the steroid section, are you already using - could possibly be test flu you are experiencing.

Pseudonym Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Boostinggtr, your comment was inflammatory, and the 8 reponses that followed completely derailed the topic. That was the basis on which the mods made their decision to edit. If you have an issue with that, PM us please, don't derail the topic again.
