Yes, I am sick. I felt it coming yesterday morning, not long after my workout (which was a great workout.) The sinus drain making me cough. I hoped it was allergies due to the drastic temperature changes here recently. But, alas, I woke up this morning coughing and nose running. So, no workout today. If it was contest prep I wouldn't have missed a meal or workout- it's not that bad, but I don't want anyone else sick and I'm not building muscle mass with a cold. So, a day of rest.
Now it may interest some how a bodybuilder handle a cold- with extremes like we do anything else. As soon as I felt symptoms I increased vitamin c and zinc, began drinking even more water than usual and eating lots of fruit in hopes of killing it early. Yesterday I ate 3 apples, 2 oranges, took v-c and 4 zinc.
It being Christmas Eve, I won't be working out any more this week any way. So, ya'll have a very merry Christmas and we'll pick up hard training on Monday.
