Yesterday my trainer worked me on my chest. Power and super sets. My seated and lying dumbbell presses gains have tripled in the last 2 months! And that's is with a cold. I expect to press up to 80 plus lbs in the next month or so. (my legs however have really gotten stronger- an easy 435, with a cold). Pretty good for a 53 54 yr old novice. And my trainer said I am really getting noticeable muscle definition; it's showing. We also did flys, shrugs, etc....

Mistake: With my new found cold since Friday, I maybe should not of trained. So this morning it is worse. Now a bit in the chest, and clogged ears. No! I am losing days! (That's what I get for running around shirtless at IBR) I know if I rest, I won't loose more gym days, but I get ancey. I canceled this mornings training.
I have checked on Bodybuilding.com, and articles related to working out with colds etc. Mixed bag of opinions. Some say if it is from the neck up , work out. If your cold is from the neck down, don't. Some do whatever. I think I will chain myself to the house, stay in (Yes girls, I am missing the Eagle and Star). It is pouring out and windy anyway.
