Following BBM peaking template, got sick before test day.

Medical Q&A [Moderated]

Hello all. I dont quite know how these forums operate so hopefully someone sees this.

I’ll keep it brief. I’m following the bbm peaking template trying to test my strength in a pseudo meet style. This is the first time I’ve tried this as I am relatively new to training (10mo). 4 days before my test day I have fallen Ill. What do? Should I try to do it anyway? or just take the L and start a new program?

Thanks.

Depends how sick you got, but if there’s no pressing meet or competition I’d probably just move onto a new program and train. You’ll regain the lost strength quickly, but there’s no real reason to test in this scenario.

Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks for the reply, and thanks for being a evidence based beacon of light in the foggy pseudoscience fitness industry.
