Question About Being Sick

[skaman607]

Do your joints always hurt when you're sick?

Not always, but sometimes in my experience.

I train through colds and things, but if my joints hurt I take it as a sign that something more is going on. I only really get sore joints when I'm getting the flu or a secondary infection. I would take a couple days off bro. Just my opinion, but it would suck if you got fucked up and couldn't train, eat, or sleep for weeks because you didn't take a couple days off. Its happened to me more than once. Time to be slamming down the Vitamin C, echinacea, zinc, etc. Good luck and get better man

I have strep throat, aand I couldn't even sit up yesterday, so I didn't have to worry about taking a day off, my body did it for me.

I am just getting healthy after about 9 fucking weeks of having the flu. I could tell that something was not right with my body, but I continued to train anyway, and sure enough, I got the damn flu.

I didn't lift once during the whole 9 weeks, and when I trained back for the first time since coming back last week, I hit a PR on my deadlift and on my bicep curl! Not smart going that heavy after such a long layoff, but I felt strong as shit. WTF is up with that?
Only thing I can figure is that my CNS must have been really strained prior to being sick, and the time off allowed my body to come back much stronger.

My belief is you didn't have the "FLU" you were just totally overtrained...many times the way your body forces you to stop training is you "get sick"
