Hey everyone 
I just got the flu shot earlier today and my arm that got the shot is pretty darn sore and feeling a little weak. I wanted to if it was okay to train today despite this? Usually soreness doesn’t bother me but this is definitely a novel feeling of soreness/weakness. It’s a GPP day today but that includes direct arm work so I am feeling a bit weary.
Thank you,

It is ok to train.
I have a related question. I’ve read different things about whether or not one should train after a flu shot (most German doctors or websites advice against it, arguing that the flu shot would already put the immune system under pressure blabla).
However, one source even stated that exercise within a certain time frame may even enhance the effects of a flu shot by increasing the amount of anti-bodies that are created.
Is there anything to this, and what kind of training within which time frame would be best?
Thanks!
We don’t think there should be any restrictions to exercise before or after the flu shot.
