    2 wks into cycle and found out i have strep throat, need some help

    aight bro's,
    went to the dr. yesterday and found out i have strep throat. i'm 2 wks into my prop, en, and winny cycle and feel i may need to be easy with the weights so i can recover quicker. the dr. told me to take today off from work so, consequently, i will not be lifting today. he also injected about 4cc's of anti-biotics into my ass so hopefully these will start kickin in. any advice on what to do and how easy to be with the training would be much appreciated.

    Maintain your cycle...and rest a few days. Go light at the gym afterwards until things get straight. Peace

    I agree 3 -4 days away from gym so early in cycle should be fine. Depending on your cycle & goals perhaps you could just do cardio 30 min 55-65% RHT.. Just a thought

    Stay on. I know your throat hurts, but dont forget to get your calories. Eat MRP's, Protein Shakes, Cream of Wheat, and all the other clean liquid food that will help keep your cals up--this will help. If I remember right, the last time I was sick with strep I bounced back like a rubberband when I got some antibiotics. Just be careful when you first start feeling better because you dont want to push your body too hard when you still might have some infection in your body--dont risk getting sick all over again.

    I would take a few days off to get better, start light, and get plenty of rest. You should be feeling like a champ in no time.
