Seeking Weights Advice

[stateofsingularity]

So basically, I'm supposed to lift today, but I don't feel quite well - tired, sleep deprived, and a bit feverish - -  what would the experienced lifters do in this case? Try to power through it, or take a day off until ya'll feel better? I'd apprec. any advice.

stay home so you dont get other people sick dude. its not like you have enough strength to effectively work out anyway.

don't force it.

Let your body rest...you're not doing yourself any good by forcing yourself to go to the gym when you're not feeling well. Been there done that.....and in the times in which I have, I actually made myself feel worse. A day or two missed from working out isn't going to kill you.

Rest up playa.

Only time I workout when I'm sick is if I have a cold. I like to sweat everything out of my system then. When it comes to strength training, forget it. It's useless.

honestly these are the days that count the most. push through it. if everytime u didnt feel that great u stay home you would only go to the gym twice a week. if your serious about your training just know u puttin in this work will get u to ur goals. days like this make or break you. 
but if you honestly sick! stay home and rest. if u just dont feel like it get to the gym!

if symptoms are only above the neck such as your common cold or allergies (viruses), it's okay to workout/run/lift, however if you are having any sort of body aches or fever symptoms below the neck it's best to refrain from exercise as it could be bacterial, get checked out.

if your contagious sick, don't go to the gym but you can work out in other ways at home or in the park muscle building and cardio so DON'T slack, no excuses, tired -_-, sleep deprived--sleep one of the most important things in life. so get a good nights sleep evry night. and since your posting this on nt we all know you already slacked because the first few respones sadi stay home s tomorrow wake up and just do it
