I would never go to the gym and try to tough it out. That wouldn't be cool if I spread germs and got other members sick. So I usually stay home until I feel better. If it's just a light cold and nothing serious, I try to stay active at home by doing light treadmill work and stretching. Maybe pump up my body with some light dumbbell movements, etc. Just to keep the blood flowing. And remember, the more you rest, the quicker you get better. Your body has a tough enough time fighting illness, let alone fighting illness and trying to repair your muscles.

it is harder for your body to recover if you go and workout. if you got a shot of suspension you could be a true juice head and try and knock it out lol. but no just rest man and don't worry about the few days off. eat as much as you can and try and keep your weight up. i usually drink a full bottle of pure cran juice and lots of water and i can knock it out good. i never get sick on juice but when i took sustanon once i got so fucking sick. you have to rest

thats shit sux, i got sick mid cycle once. could only eat about once every 2 days and that even hurt. i was on t3 too. i ended up droppin 14 lbs in about a wk and a half. streanth dropped pretty bad. then from not bein able to eat, my diet was shot. i just had to make the best of it
Get some rest and get better. It happens.. Plus I hate when sick people come to the gym and spread their germs everywhere. Not cool for us healthy members.. I dont want to be breathing your cold or flu in my lungs.

flu? you're gonna have a little down time what with the puking and diarrhea.
cold? suck it up and hit it hard. . .cold may last a little longer but you won't be behind the 8 ball when it's done.

I disagree with this. I got a cold and sore throat 3 weeks into my last cycle. I took a week off and focused on getting rest and getting well. I came back to the gym stronger on all lifts. It is senseless to prolong your illness by straining an already taxed system, and it is lacking in class to expose others to you illness.

pffft. . .you're only contagious for like a day. . .if that concerns you, take a day off. . .any more than that (with a cold) is just pissing in the wind. . .i work seven friggin days a week (generally speaking) and during busy season i work until 3AM on a regular basis. . .if i waited until my system wasn't "taxed" i'd never do anything. . .

if its a cold, tough it out.
if its a flu, take time off completely -- dont even think about cardio, i used to be a distance runner and training while you're sick is beyond pointless.
if its mono, parvo, any of the illnesses that will last awhile, come off the gear, run the pct....feel better, train light..in a few months go at it again.

ok. . .so ask the medical peeps around here. . .there's enough of them. you're the one that brought up the whole "taxed" thing anyway. . .i just pointed out that many of us are taxed most of the time anyway. . .and, while my work schedule is definitely self-inflicted, i don't see it as shitty. . ."profitable" is the word that comes to my mind

To Prevent Getting Sick G-covery helps ALOT
it is at www.Amplify02.com
Glutamine is the prefered energy source for the immunue system, In fact its preferred over Protien, Carbs, fats, or any other enrgy source.
G-covery is a very bioavalable form
Supplementing with it, is like a fast pass to assure immune health, not to mention other benifits such as Nitrogen retention.

If it is the flu, I stay at home and rest and drink a lot of fluids.
If it is a cold, i'll go to the doctor or clinic and get a Rx for antibiotics. If I have a fever, i'll rest it out until it goes away. If no fever is present, i'll hit the gym, but i'll keep it light, simple and quick. Same as the flu....lots of rest, sleep, antioxidants, and fluids, etc.
Wash your hands bitches!

This is great advice and is what was recommended to me earlier this year when I got sick on cycle.
My personal take is to take a day or two off to heal and speed recovery. What's a couple days when you could be less than 100% for several weeks?

Antibiotics are for bacteria infections and will not do you any good for a cold, which is a virus. If your doctor is giving them to you for a cold I would switch doctors.MR. BMJ said:If it is the flu, I stay at home and rest and drink a lot of fluids.

of course you did, you dont have to train to gain while on AAS, its pointless not to, becaus ethe gains dont even compare, but you will still get stronger. I say tough it out unless you unable to eat due to gums being severly infected, have major throat soreness, and no i dont mean a sore throat and runny nose. your going to recover, train through it20ss02 said:

Hey bro are you taking l-glutamine or glutamine peptides? The l-glutamine has never done jack for me, but with the peptides I can go the whole winter and avoid any illness and train as hard as I like without fear of overtraining. You might want to pick some up. Omega put a link earlier in the thread. I'm one of those people that can't train too hard or often, especially in the winter without getting sick, maybe it will help you too. I hope you feel better. Just rest up and try to eat as much good food as you can tomorrow. I'm sure by Saturday you'll be ready to tear the gym apart!

Try washing your hands more often. I can't possibly think of anything else that would be more effective at preventing a cold-aside from never leaving the house. Which might be a good idea cuz nobody wants your viral boogers on the gym equipment anyway. Seriously tho-since I started washing my hands throughout the day I get sick way less often.
