does having a cold make you weaker?

**jgg1221** · 04-10-2005, 09:24 PM

i have a cold.. or a sinus infection, the flu or something and it sucks

i noticed i was a lot weaker in the gym today

didnt even finish my workout, decided to take the day off

do you think theres a connection with being sick and being weaker?

For sure...dehydration is a factor I think. Its just best to take a few days off when youre sick IMO.

ooohhh yeah. Your body is using all of its resources to fight your infection. Everytime i get sick, I can count on loseing about 7 lbs and drop a lot in weight in the gym. It sucks but i usually recover in no time.

haha on my most recent cycle i got a cold ON WEEK 2, yeah not as bad as if it were week 5 or 6, i just beat myself in the head with my hand after sets and made got angry at my cold and i found myself lifting fine (dieting is also a lot harder i found myself really struggling to force down my ****), overload on vitamin C and when ur not working out rest and lots of liquids.

Think there is a connection between guys having a penis and girls having a vagina?
