flu..!

[eggplant]

i'm down with a flu..! the weather has been ****ty..rapid transition between hot and cold..and i guess my body,being depleted from all the dieting just can't get used to it..i've missed 2 cardio days..and tomorrow is leg day..i'm thinking of replacing leg day with light cardio..and fri will be light cardio again..but do you guys think i should stop my thermogenics for a day or two and continue when i feel better?

Yeah, if you have a show coming up, rest. Get back to it as soon as you can, and double up on that Vitamin C.

I don't want to hijack this thread, but I was reading up on some bodybuilders and their past results and it seems that it's pretty common to get the flu on the day of or near a show. Is this true? If so, why? Is it because AAS shuts down your immune system? Can extreme dieting have the same effect? Just curious.

[SwoleCat]

While dieting your immune system is vulnerable to sickness, yes.

I am 3 days out from leaving for Cancun and I woke up early in the morning today with a very sore throat


My nose is also running, I think got the flu too. So you are not alone. I hope I can still train at full intensity today.... cardio had to be cut short because breathing hurt my throat a lot.

i hate getting the flu....it makes me depressed but i still dont change anything. I find if i have the flu and i push out a good workout i feel better afterwards.
