This is Cubanito 17's bro,got a big...huge problem

[Cubanito17]

Hi guys as the title says I am Cubanito's bro.I am 15 and I powerlift just as Cubanito. See a I got a little problem. Last monday I got a terrible flu which I still have but right now its not more than a runny nose.I did have a high fever though,body aches,and EXTREME WEAKNESS. I did not go to school all that week and did not lift weights.I spent the whole week in bed. It also turns out that I lost 10 lbs,6 of which I gained back. Today after school I did lift though,as Im getting back to the normal routine. When I lifted today I did terrible,it seems I have lost a good 30 lbs on my bench. My question is will I gain the weight back and strength back over a matter of a few days or is it gone and I have to work for it again? Thank you all.

You may wanna register under a new name....shouldn't be too hard.

You'll gain back right away. It's called muscle memory

Na dude don't worry about it. Its just because your still sick. I take a week off before and after comps and i don't seem to loose anything so jsut get back on track when you feel better.

dude, same thing happened to me with strep-throat. Trust me, it won't take too terribly long to get back in action. You'll just have to fight through it, keep training and not get discouraged. TRUST ME. Same exact thing happened to me. It sucks I know but just take it in the chin and move on

Are you dehydrated? This is the most common problem when getting over the flue. Double or triple you water intake over the next few days, extra vitamin A, and vitamin C (C should be taken every four hours) can help. Vitamin E never hurt, and any other anti-oxidants that you happen to have laying around.

Hey guys it's me cubanito I didn't know my bro posted this. Bad thing is now he gave me the flu or whatever the hell he had I got it, IT SUCKS. Either way we're both taking our multis and everything he's almost over it and I'm just starting it. I wish I could double my intake or triple but I don't even feel like eating. I feel sooooo weak. I havn't lifted since the meet I might just do as GRIMM and take off the rest of this week until monday. I know i'll feel weak but it's better to be rested. I broke my own lil record though with having this yesterday I slept from 5 p.m. til 6 a.m. this morning a whole 13 hours. My record was 10hours. Either way I think that wore me down TOO much sleep. hope we both get over and outta this quick.

THAT sucks dude, My arms and chest feel good but my back is still sore as shit. I may go in tonight and do some restorative work to help me recover and flush my erectors with some blood and hopefully can speed squat on saturday but thats all im diong for back. Tomorrow i might try to do a max bench day but will see. Just take it easy and don't worry about getting into the gym. Your strenght will be there when you do.

Thanks man. Hey I was just thinking about something I might not be able to do the June 1st meet b/c I'm graduating May 31st and then with all the parties and shit I dunno if I'll be able to do it. Hopefully I can b/c I really want to see where I'm at with suiting up. If I don't then oh well until the next meet. I'll have to find out more details about grad night, project graduation, and all those good things seniors have to do.

Hey guys since I'm really picky to eat I know like when your sick you should eat ALOT and drink ALOT more than the usual to get better quicker. Well i don't like soups or any of those things and I know they're good when your sick but I can't stand them so I decided to make a shake today. Now I know I've said I can't put on weight and I'm going to start taking a weight gainer well I just invented 30 minutes ago an awesome shake and I'm sure it's gonna put good and some bad weight on me. I love milk shakes especially when I'm sick I dunno why, but I do. So this is what I did I got 2 cups of milk put it in a blender then I got 2 scoops of Isopure vanilla protein shake and threw it in 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream 1 jello pudding choc/vanilla swirl and 1 Snickers bar. put it in the blender for about 45 seconds and when I drank it, it was the best shake i've ever had it has about 75g of protein which is good and who knows how much carbs. So I think I found my awesome tasting weight gainer. you guys who train over comp bodyweight should try this. and for those that do try it let me know what you tought of the shake.

that sounds damn good. Other than you can only digest about30-40 g of protien at a time it will definitly put some weight on you
