    Depends how sick, traing while you have a cold of flu is one thing but probably not a good idea if you have glandular fever or pneumonia or something like that. Generaly I will allways train unless Im bedridden cycling or not, I dose up with paracetamol an hour before gym.

    If I am not feeling well in general or have a simple cold, I find that working out will make me feel much better. However, I stay in bed if I am truely sick, which I have not been in years.

    You caught downs syndrome at your gym? Youll need a bit more than paracetamol

    depending on how sick, i often too just call it a day. resting for me ensures that i have enough strength to battle whatever it is and get it out of the way. when i workout when sick, its usually the crappiest workout ever anyways.

    Just my little joke... If youre concerned others are conspiring against you and out to get you in general then you are indeed paranoid, however if your concerned about losing muscle while your ill then you are infact anxious. I tell my kids this all the time... and Im going to start a "paranoid" abuse count LOL

    Take a few days off and let your immune system catch up, AAS weakens you immune system so it need as much help as it can get, drink lots of OJ.

    no use in lifting if youre feeling that bad. You wont be able to generate enough intensity to make the lift count and it will be useless. Better off staying home and recovering/getting stronger and then lift when youre 100%.

    I don't know man. The way I see it is that when your sick it's your body's way of telling you that it's trying to repair itself so why go and add more for your body to repair? I feel like the duration of a cold or a flu is extended when I workout, so I don't do it anymore.

    I dunno - I've found that I hardly get sick anymore since I have been consistent in the gym the last few years. If I feel something coming on it seems like I can hit it hard in the gym and "burn it off" before it fully develops.

    Oh, except for that mongolism - but I didn't think I caught from the other lifters, I'd assumed that it came from all of the repeated blows to the back of my head doing tris with dumbbells. Still, since I no think so good anymore.....

    Weird. I've noticed the exact same thing. The more consistent I am, the less sick I get.

    I have read some studies indicating that resistance training does heighten the amount of monocytes after an initial downfall immediately after and during the exercise, so resistance training is good for your immune system if you dose it properly and rest enough inbetween excertions.

    On the other hand I remember a university professor of mine having said to me to never do cariovascular training when a fever is present, apparantly not good for the heart. Don't know wether or not this applys to weight training though. (the professor works with top athletes by the way, so I am supposing he knows his "stuff")

    Old thread though, but still want to contribute.

    ive read that it takes at least 2 weeks off from the gym to start losing muscle. taking a week off occasionally is actually a very good idea
