Should you really workout even when you're sick? I have 2 answers to this common question. Most of us won't like the first answer (it's the obvious one) so that's why I also gave a second answer.
1) If you're sick, your body need to heal and recover. Since you weaken your immune system when you workout hard for that short amount of time, working out when you're sick isn't the best idea.
In theory you should rest. Stay home for a couple days and let your body get over the sickness. I promise you won't lose any muscle!
2) If you MUST workout when you're sick, then here's my opinion on what you should do in the gym.
First, decrease your intensity in the gym for that workout. You don't want to try to do a high intensity workout when you're sick.
I also recommend reducing your training volume. Also, don't go heavy. So yes, this will be kind of a half-ass...
