I’m just one week shy of completing my first four-week cycle of 5/3/1 and I noticed that I was feeling unusually shitty during my lifts so I went to get it checked out at the health center. They diagnosed me with “mono” and strep throat. The strep throat is nothing, but the doctor said that I shouldn’t do any heavy-lifting of strenuous athletic activity for six weeks or I run the risk of enlarging and rupturing my spleen. Is there anything I can do or should I just quit my griping and rest up for the six weeks?
Thanks.
