Reply With QuoteI 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.

Lifting Weights When Sick
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?

The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

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. Originally Posted by Moze

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

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

#1 rule is ignore all IRON MANS advice.
I highly recommend all IronMagLabs supplements!
