Overtrained?

[vindiesel]

I have flu-like symptoms since yesterday: aching (burning) muscles, general fatigue, painful joints, etc etc.

Could these symptoms be a sign of overtraining?

I do a 5-day split routine and cardio on rest days.

Thank you for giving me some advice on this.

My routine looks like this:

Monday: Chest/bis
Tuesday: Shoulders
Wednesday: Legs
Thursday: Back
Friday: tris/forearms
Saturday: HIIT cardio
Sunday: HIIT cardio

Could be the crap thats going around. J.R.

What you doing looks alright to me, I think JR could be right on. There is alot of gunk going around right now. I would take a day or two off. Don't do anything but rest and get a ton of fluids and see how you feel then.

Thank you, guys.

I do feel better now.
I have increased my daily dosage of vit.C too.

I didn't have my flu jab done in november like I used to b/c I was ill at the time I was supposed to get it.

I got my flu shot for the first time in about 5 years this year and have had more colds and feeling shitty, so next year I'm skipping it. J.R.

Yes, that's exactly why I hesitate so much each year when the time comes to have that flu jab.

In the past, whenever I had that shot, I had the flu (but a different one from the one for which I got the shot). I also once developped an allergy to the vaccine and had a bad reaction (my left arm was swollen for days).
