training when you're sick
« on: April 08, 2006, 06:39:16 PM »
I pussed out today, feeling sick with something, not having any energy, generally feeling like crap.  I was just wondering, what is the opinion on training when you're sick.  Obviously you're not going to be at 100%, and you might come home feeling worse, making it worse.  There is also the theory on "sweating it out."  It probably just comes down to how strong your will and dedication is?  Or is it smart just to lay off?

 Dorian Yates didn't believe in instinctive training, but sickness is another matter entirely. Take a few days off. You are probably overtrained anyway.

You shouldn't train whilst you are sick.  Training makes you vulnerable and you're already sick.  So generally you're going to recover slower, thus wasting efficiency more gym workouts.  You can get away with taking a week off here and there anyway because its what you're supposed to do.  So you can take a day off training thats for sure.

If you're sick, you need to eat.  Eat more.

PUSSY!




Just kidding. Seriously though, you gotta listen to your body. I've trained sick and had good workouts. Subpar ones aswell. Bottom line is, nobody else knows just how shitty you feel. If you think you can get through it, you're likely to.

If you feel weak or lethargic what's the point of training half-assed?  Stay out of the gym until you are better.  You'll also keep from infecting you're fellow gym members.
