Title: Lifting with a Cold
Post by: bhank on December 28, 2021, 04:39:01 AM
Ok let's say you get the sniffles do you go to the gym and risk killing everyone or stay home? I mean you can take a day or two off but how many before cachexia and death?

I had to get that vaccine so I can have money to purchase bitcoin

I felt like shit for 5 days - had some head congestion that eventually made its way into my chest

since I was 'vaxxed' and contributed 100% of my symptoms to a hoop I had to jump through for the general public to accept me

I worked out like a beast - I think sweating helps disseminate the bitch ass vaccine plus the extreme body heat from my stairMaster sessions

You're contagious before you even get symptoms for most stuff.

I got a squat rack and bench with barbell/weights and some of those adjustable Bowflex dumbbells during the pandemic and I love it.  I'm obviously more limited in the variety of exercises I can do vs. a full gym but I mostly did barbell/dumbbell stuff anyway.

Can't see ever going back to a commercial gym.  I miss the social element and the half-dressed women but don't miss the hassle of traveling to the gym and dealing with crowds and obnoxious people.  Then the "workout if I'm sick?" question becomes just an issue of do I feel good enough for this, not an issue of am I going to get other people sick?

The equipment is more affordable than I was expecting, you can get a great setup of quality stuff for ~$2000 maybe less.  I highly recommend it to anyone who has the space at home for it.  If you want 1000 lbs of competition-calibrated weights then yeah that's gonna cost you a lot but most people don't need that even getbiggers I think.

Do you ever stop whining?

Do your excuses ever stop?

Holy fuck you’re a soft, weak, little manlet. Grow up and act like an adult.

Soft-mouth twink phaggot.

Some people think they can go to the gym and sweat a cold out. They are morons.

Good post.  I've missed the social side of things for years - I moved away from the old 'bad crowd' to do the career and family thing, so I've pretty much trained solo for years now.  That's one of the reasons I like this place - you all get the references and understand this weird 'hobby' of lifting - I'm too old to train another decent training partner LOL

So I've been inspired by a few on here to put together a modest home gym myself - so never mind a mask etc, I can train stark bollock naked if I want!  ;D  I really don't think I would have bothered before all this lockdown bullshit, so silver linings and all that...

Never squat with sniffles.

Real men slap on their knee sleeves and do light leg extensions.

If your in any public spot,movies,restaurant,gym ect and don’t think 10 to 20% of people around you at any given time aren’t positive for Covid symptoms or not your fooling yourself to feel “safe”
