Summary
Hill 19417 had started weightlifting three days a week and felt fine the first few times. Then post-exertional malaise and a symptom flare hit hard: every symptom was more intense and they were super tired all the time. Spacing out lifts and getting good sleep helped a little, while they kept up evening master's classes and 5:30 am starts.
