Do you train when you are sick?

[SouthernLord]

I'll do a double split with forced reps and heavy negatives when sick. Fuck you immune system!

I will have to dig up, working out while sick articles, if I can find them. There was a few studies that said, if you have a light cold then working out, can actually speed up the recovery time. If you have a severe cold or flu, the kind that every part of your body hurts, then DO NOT workout. If its just a light head cold, or on that lines, and you are still able to eat some food, you should be able to workout, of course you will have to back it down a bit. but it might help.

if its a head cold yes ill train, if its the flu no

^^^^this. When I have a cold, cardio helps clear my sinuses so I can breathe. (I usually run outside so I don't kill anyone, OCD Cindy.)

I rarely drink ever, but if I do I find that cardio always cures my hangovers

Yeah I am pretty sure this is the flu only thing you get a fever weak feeling from. Eck

I remember once I had the best workout of my life, every lift right at the max of what I could do if it was my first lift of the day, but they were all like that the whole workout.

Then I woke up that night puking my guts out with an awful stomach flu. All that work for nothing. Weird how my body had so much stamina right as I was getting sick.

Wow, you have more discipline than I do. I'll sit in a dry sauna but with a hangover I'm not doing much more than that.

Pointless to train when sick, youre not strong enough to sufficiently stimulate the muscles.
Cardio maybe
