Do you workout when sick??

[Evil Predator]

Im really sick, swollen, red, infected throat, fever, etc.. I just powered through a chest/bicep/forcep workout, and feel a little better. But, is it counter-productive? Should i rest it off? I didnt want to miss any, because I was away on vacation last week, went to see the rolling stones live and visit some friends, so i didn't workout last week. (tho i kept my diet in check)

i wouldnt just because i have respect for other people in the gym. i wouldnt want to get them sick.. i know i'd be fumin if i saw someone real sick then i got sick the next day.

not only that but your body needs all the engery it has to fight the infection attacking you right now, give it a rest.

I went to the doc today, its not contagious, my throat is swelling for some unknown reason tho. He gave me epinephrin to carry with me, because he was worried its a severe allergy.

i agree w/ eljeffe. i used to be afraid of missin a workout but if ur not feelin well or even if ur burnt out just take a day or more if u want off. u're not doin urself any favors by workin out sick.

i agree with that all the way. i worked out earlier this week while sick and recovery is just retarded.my legs are still killing me from 4 days ago!

Same thing happened to me but on a back day... intensity was up cuz i was pissed i was comin down with something... back took like 4 days to recover... stay out of the gym for a little bit and i wouldn't do cardio either...

i trained when i was sick a couple times and it only made me more sick. not to mention the fact that my workouts were pure torture/hell

never, ever again...

[Evil Predator]

thats the way im feeling tonight. I did swoles leg workout at the gym, and im sicker than ever. Im gonna rest till its gone. It cant be an allergy, ****ing doctors. I havent changed my diet at all that ui can think of.

[ward065]

wow. sc's leg workout is hardcore bro. Not a good idea to do that type of a workout if you are sick. if you must train when sick, go easy on yourself that day

what a bad coincidence! Yesterday i began to come down with a cold, today i have a fever of 100F.......yeah, there's one side of me that wants to workout today and adhere to my schedule, but the smarter side says it isn't a good idea

It seems like everyone is getting sick today. Just the change of the seasons maybe. Hope you all feel better.
