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

yeh i'm pretty near to showtime..argh..jus hate to be sick! anyway..swole..so you think i can continue to do my morning cardio? or should i ditch it too? and rest till i recover fully?
Go by feel.......I'd do what I could, yes.

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.
hmm..take good care of yourselves bro!..i've up the vit c..and i'm feeling much better...
