Lifting Weights When Sick

Moze · 05-13-2006, 05:16 PM

I just have a very light cold. I've really made some progress this last month, with my lifting. It's perfect timing to work my back, bi-ceps and shoulders, but I just came down with this damn cold. Who works out when they're sick?

I do if it's just a cold. If I feel like I can workout then I do; if I feel like I can't then I don't. I just listen to my body. You know whether or not you're forcing it.

Exactly, I've had some great workouts when I was partially sick, you just have to decide if it's bad enough that resting would be a better idea.

I worked out a couple of weeks ago when I thought I had a mild cold. Then the next day my cough became worse, eventually developed into a whooping cough, then laryngitis set in, then I started coughing up all kinds of nasty shit for 4 days straight, missed a couple days of work, and still today I am coughing a bit, but I decided to start working out again. So just be careful.

Light cold, I thought you were sick. Get in the weightroom and lift and stop being a sissy.

Worked shoulders, back and biceps today. The workout went well, just had my protein shake, but I still don't feel that good.
