Well over spring break i ended up getting the influenza flu which made me lose like 9 pounds is this all muscle?? If it helps im 5'7" and i used to weigh 152 and now i weigh 144. Do u think this will negatively affect my play cause i have no idea.

i highly doubt it was all muscle...but really if you lost that much muslce you would feel a difference in oyur lifting..things seem heavier and stuff. oyur body uses alot of energy fighting off the flu esecially. so oyu did burn fat too. just go to the gym and do some lifting and see if your where you were before.

naw man muscle takes time to burn off its would take more than a week...plus you will lose your fat before muscle

did you eat? that could also have alot to do with what you lost....an ya some of it was muscle=/ because it has been proven scientifically ur body can only burn 1 pound of actul fat per week. but i bet some of it was water weght to because you were sick. He is right you would notice if u lost that much muscle....dont wory it will be easy ot gain it back beacause u lost it wen you were sick. i had mono for 1 month lost 15 pounds...when i was healty i just followed my normal life an it all came right back.
