Should i still lift weights?

if you feel like lifting mentally, then lift

go lift. It has been demonstrated many times that you don't need to not lift if you are sick. Olympic Gold has been won by people with severe flus, colds, etc...

when you say this, it seems misleading imo. I'd wager that in most cases the person is in the very beginning stages of illness as per this.

The East Germans understood the role of additional heat when an extensive review of world record performances revealed how often the record setter was at the early stages of a cold and running a fever when the record was set. (Later into the cold, the adverse effects outweigh the benefits, of course.) This led the East Germans to experiment with de-natured viruses to generate a slight fever immediately prior to a world record attempt!

I went and lifted, and actually did alot more than i was aimin for even if i wasnt sick, i was able to put up alot more on the incline, and a pretty nice increase in my french press. Then on the last set of my inclines, my titties started freakin out, bouncin like there was no tomorrow, felt pretty damn good after i walked out of the gym, and im not very sick anymore.....................
