To lift or not to lift when sick...... What does everyone else do???

[lith56bigguy]

bad head cold and possible sinus infection right now. I just load up on ibuprofen before my workout and push through it even though the energy isn't there.

What does everyone else do?? Push through, or take time off?

i listen to my body and take it case by case. if its just a runny nose or head cold and i feel like i can put in a good hard work out ill go if i know i cant give it my all or am completely dragging i listen to my body and take the day off try and sleep and reevaluate the next day

Depends in how sick.

If I can make it I do, if I can barely keep eyes open or food down...

I use to always say.. "Fuck it I'm going to the gym" Now I judge based on what it is. If it's just a minor cold I'm going. But if I felt crappy all day, I rest my body. Why?? Cause normally I will just get a shitty workout and just prolong my condition.

I very rarely miss a day training. I would have to be so sick that I cant even move, otherwise I drag myself to the gym sick weak on the verge of throwing up stomach ache runs whatever the illness and I lift my regular schedule just might have to go lighter.

Case by case, definitely. A little cold .....suck it up! Really sick, dragging ass sick.....body needs to heal and recoup.

If it's just a cold. I'm training. If it is like flu shit, I'm in bed like a lil baby.
