Good day brehs,
I have a conundrum on my hands.
I work 50 hours per week for my job.
I go anywhere between 4-6 times per week working out as well with the push/pull/legs split... i do the usual 'training each body part 2 times per week' and for each muscle doing 2-3 different exercises. My workouts are between 1h15 to 1h45. I been going to the gym for almost 15 months now with great results and never had problems.
Now here lies my problem: lately, I keep getting sick brehs, now with the change in temperature and because is getting colder and colder, I be getting sick, catching colds with soar throat and fever, not being able to go to the gym.
I recover in about 3-5 days, go back into my old routine, feeling like Hulk in the gym for about 1-2 weeks, then getting sick again. Mind you my job is very demanding as well.
It's a cycle that keeps repeating. I was discussing with one of the muscle heads in my gym, and he was saying to me that because I work out so hard, it puts a strain on my body and on my which lowers my immune system. Coupled with the low temperatures, boom you have the cold. Now he said i should lower the amount of time working out or the volume and go lighter
Any recommandations? Anybody had this problem before? I'm afraid that if I lower the volume/workout sessions, I will not have the same results like I had until now.
Much appreciated.
