Training while under the weather.

[dilatedmuscle]

Do u guys train while having a cold or the flu?

Yes? No? and Why?

 

[Skeptic]

Depends how severe. I've been training with a bit of a sore throat all week... but otherwise I feel fine.

If its pretty severe then I lay off the training till I get better.

 

[Zigurd]

I once trained with a bullet wound in my heart.

 

[El Freako]

If I can get out of bed and out the door I will train, but at a reduced intensity level of course.

 

[dilatedmuscle]

cool, i might bench a little bit tomorrow then. I have a sore throat :/ its been gradually getting worse, on top of that i been getting bad allergies

 

[El Freako]

Sore throat, pfft! Get your ass to the gym!

I'm talking about serious conditions like cancer, shark-bites and man-flu.

 

[dilatedmuscle]

LOL i just didnt want to make it worse by putting extra stress on my itty bitty body. I got a bench here at home i havent used in years, maybe ill dust it off and i wont have to travel to the gym

You are causing your body stress when training. Depending on how crap you feel this stress may help or hinder.

My rule of thumb is that if I'm sick enough that I don't feel like warming up or I can't do a dozen chinups without getting dizzy/breathless then I'll give it a miss.

yeah im not that bad, mostly just a bad sore throat. My body doesnt feel too exausted. ill hit a few sets on the bench and rub one out or two

You should also pay attention to other beings, because I'd get rather pissed off if someone ill as hell came in the door just to spread some stupid vira or cough, making me lay off training etc.

I go to the gym.. the sweat helps it to pass..



Hey.. I was hit by a car yesterday.. my hand is black and swollen..

I think I'm going to train back today.. (no joke)

 

[Hypocrisy86]

I have a cold and i went to work, then to gym did cardio abs, so what.

 

[dilatedmuscle]

LOL @ all the bravado "my leg is falling off but im still training"

I was just asking because maybe there is something that i dont know about training while ill and wanted some input.

yeah i wasnt gonna go to the gym, i was just thinking about working out at home.

Never, it will lead to overtraining!

Never, it will lead to overtraining!

When?

Overtraining is only an issue if you are really sick or you overdo it.

But then again overtraining is more about under-recovery than anything.
