Well I did not get to train at all last week due to strept throat and ear infection in right ear. I worked out Thurs,Fri,Sat and today I woke up with horrible ear ache and infection in left ear. Would you work out with ear infection or wait till you are better? This is killing me I missed 4 days last week I just hate to miss another day. I started z-pak today so hopefully it will clear up soon! What would you do?

Hey stumpy29, being sick sucks, there is no doubt about it. But if you want to shake it quicker take a break from training until you feel near 100%. Then go back easy and let your immune system take care of biz. When you train you put a fair dent in your immune systems recovery as well. You have prolly experienced the illness rebound effect. You think it's gone and then it comes around for a second crack and hits you harder. So stay away from training for a while. I know this is not what you wanted to hear but it will be better in the long run.

Rest would be the best thing. Its hard to just sit there and watch
your muscles shrink, but you always have muscle memorey. 2 workouts
with good food intake and your back.

Forgive me, but listen to the question you're asking:

Yuo had strep (not something to mess with), pushed it before recovering, and then had another severe earache and infection.

And now you're asking if you shuold work out with an ear infection? Are you serious?

What do YOU think the answer to this is - the common sense one?

No guts, no glory.

That made even less sense than his idea about training while sick LOL.

For those who missed this question:
Common sense says don't train while sick.
