Test Flu

Squatty · 18-09-2006, 10:00 PM

I've been searching the forum and have come across several mentions of "test flu" but the posts I've found tend to be along the lines of "don't worry mate, it will soon pass"

Can anyone point me in the direction or fill me in on how I find out more; how is it caused etc?

I'm on week three of a test prop cycle and basically, have felt like shit since yesterday morning. Typical flu symptoms really - aching all over, lethargy, fuzzy head and off my food.

Any pointers would be great

The flue is what u have described. Like they say it will pass,just keep training and eating

by training thru it-arent you running yourself down-
surely rest will allow the body to recuperate from the "flu" quicker? :?

think test flu isnt something that you can recuperate from as such.... as its caused by the test you just have to ride it out till your body adapts!

My understanding is that it's an adverse reaction to the ester and/or solvents, thus not an infection as such. Like Lee says, just stick it out.

Thanks guys.

It's better today and I have trained through it but only firing on a few cylinders. Diet has been a problem as I haven't felt like eating anything and have brought back most of what i have eaten. It just feels like a wasted week in terms of the benefits I would get from the cycle.

It's a weird one though because it seems like the normal rules for recuperating from flu don't apply as its not really flu in the first place. Crazy stuff
