Caught the flu (not test flu) and my workouts are failing.

Well guys/gals over the last week I have been fighting the flu, I’ll be feeling great and but when I hit the gym my strength has diminished and get truly winded. Should I cut my cycle short? I’m 5 weeks shy from finishing a 12 week test E 500mgs e/w cycle. Or should I tough it out and just lower my weight? Being in a weaker state, and using less weights can I still grow?

I would stay on the cycle just take a week off from the gym to rest up. Get LOTS of sleep and drink plenty of water.

I had a 102 fever one time down the shore WHICH SUCKED . The temp went down in a day and the next day was so nice i went for a jog and my temp went right back to 102 ! Your body needs the break.

At risk of sounding like a university fight song:

Stay the course, and fight, fight, fight.
Vitamins C & E with Echinacea...day and night!
Help your body to recoup,
Drink plenty of fluids, teas and soup.
One of Jordan's best games was with the flu,
So hold fast to your cycle, and when you're down just think of Michael.

Ha Ha, like it majic!

I got pneumonia on my first cycle and lost every fuc*in pound I gained around week 11. And more...

I would hate to lose anything I’ve gained. Though I've only out on 8lbs, it definitely was a hard 8lbs. I guess I'll sit back this weekend and miss a few w/o's.

Thanks everyone.
