Hey man,

pushing hard when your sick will make it worse.

The reason you get sick when you start cutting is, your not getting enough nutrients and the bodys immune system drops.

I highly reccomend not dropping that many calories instantly. Maybe half the amount, get acclamatized to it, over a week or 2 then drop the other half.

Also start supplementing with a GOOD multi vitamin, Multi Mineral and 5 - 10g of glutamine a day.

Vitamin c helps too.

concentrate on getting better first. I never train well when I am sick and as VV says it just seems to prolong the illness.

What do you guys consider being sick?? to me being sick is having a chest infection but a cold, or blocked nose (i.e) neck up dosent constitute being sick and being able to train is fine.

depends how much of a hard man u are. weather or not u train or not.

i recently had a flu and trained i lost strength while i was sick but continued training hard.

when the flu passed i was stronger than b4 i had the flu.

just my exp

I am over it now .I am probably not a hard man i guess I did attempt to train however any exertion was resulting in a coughing fit not a great look so I missed 3 days in the gym an a week of cardio.Back into the swing now strengh seems to be returning no probs and just did an hours cardio.Cheers for the comments
