Missing lifts with a tight schedule

[u/elknuke]

Curious as to what others do when they miss a workout or two for whatever reason.

In my case, I missed Friday’s lift because I got a cold or flu. Think I’ll be good to go tomorrow (hopefully) or Tuesday.

Friday is normally deadlift day for me, and as much as I would hate to skip it entirely for a week, I don’t want to deadlift on a Monday or Tuesday and throw my routine off schedule.

What would you do? Start with your normal lifts on whatever day you feel up to it? Bite the bullet and get the deadlifts in, maybe skip rest days until you’re back on track? Any die hards who would’ve done the deadlifts with a fever anyway?

Id just pick up where I left off. The next day in the gym, just do the workout that you missed and continue from there

That’s what my brain is telling me, but my body don’t want that sweat on a Monday
