First day back in the gym

ad

So today was the first day in the gym after having the flu for several weeks. It’s amazing how much strength and size I have lost.

Out of curiousity, did you get a flu shot?

Ah, everyone I know that got the flu, got a flu shot. I’ve never gotten the flu shot and never got the flu. Those things are a complete waste I believe.

I'm sure it is just coincidence but it seems like the only time I do get the flu is when I get the flu shot. When I don't get the shot I have yet to get the flu. lol

that is no coincidence! Haha

There are some 80+ varieties of flu virus the shot covers 2 of them .. they do not use a live virus in the vaccine ... you can't get the flu from the flu shot ..

TrenAllDay's picture

Correct. And the flu vaccines are strains from the year prior, so I see 0 benefit to a flu shot....

Would you gamble $50 on a 2% chance of doubling up? I wouldn’t put $5 on that

Its been a bad season for it. The strain doing the rounds is a different type to what they anticipated if i remember correctly.

Good to hear you doing better though!

First day back is always a mini dent to the ego... till you look around and realise you still lift heavier and harder than every other mo'fo' in there!

Keep her lit man!

once you start eating again and have some consistency you'll never know that you missed anything ... now pull up those bear panties of yours and get to work ;-)
