Covid finally got me…..
ad
Honestly not feeling too rough. I thought I had test flu for a moment but then symptoms ramped up so I went to the Doc. He confirmed covid. I’ve been taking vit c, zinc and my cycle support vitamins in addition.
Just wondering should I take this time to rest my body or is it ok to keep lifting? I have a home set thankfully. Just curious is any of my fellow brothers had covid and what they did to make it through the boredom.
Thanks for reading!

PropheticWookieEveryone has a different course of covid. I had a wild weakness during and after that I for 2-3 weeks with any activity had shortness of breath and a feeling of weakness
bighulk3012Sorry to hear. Mine only last a few days thankfully and no shortness of breath.
bighulk3012Thanks everyone for thoughts, feeling much better!
Use NAC bro! It’s a great antioxidants and helps with respiratory issues. I had covid and it helped clear my lungs out! But it does not work instantly.. it takes about 7 days to start seeing the effects
But to answer your question! Rest! Let the body rest
PropheticWookieNac helped me a lot too, only it took about 14 days. And rightly so, you need to give the body a rest, I also took 1 gram of cordyceps and echinacea for the immune system
bighulk3012NAC? What’s that?
Mika77N-acetylcystein
I hope you feel better. Are you gona get some medicine
bighulk3012Doc told me they can’t prescribe anything worthwhile. He said so far nothing really helps covid go away. He just said take my vit c, zinc and multi-vit I take daily.
Ive seen some sources that sell the medicine
bighulk3012Interesting.
Same here waiting to get tested.
Fee better soon. I can only tell you how I do things and you need to decide for yourself. Your body has great feedback mechanisms. Pain and fatigue. If you feel pain then stop. If you feel fatigue either slow down or take a break. Always worked for me when sick or post surgery.
bighulk3012Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. I’m feeling a little winded I may just take today off as well and see how I feel tomorrow.
Yeah it's tough to work out when winded. I usually work through colds and minor stuff but stomach bugs slow me down and had the flu twice and the thought of working out didn't even cross my mind for about 4 days. Like I said, your body is usually pretty accurate in telling you what you can and can't do.
bighulk3012Totally makes sense. I’m feeling better today but still not right. Hoping tomorrow I make a big stride. Nothing more frustrating than getting sick while you are making sick gains lol.
Hope you get well soon bro as for training if you feel ok then all good but if you feel run down weak then best to rest & recover.
bighulk3012Thanks brother. I’m feeling worse as far as the sore throat, but my fever is gone. I took off yesterday, maybe I’ll take off today, two days won’t hurt me. I’ll check how I feel tomorrow.
You should stay in self isolation until your doc says it's ok...
bighulk3012I was referring to workout out at home as mentioned bro, I have a home set. Just wondering if it was safe to workout or just rest.
got it...my bad
bighulk3012No prob. My wife would kill me before she would let me endanger others, of course I wouldn’t regardless.
Rustyhooker^^^^^^^^agree.
