How Many Weeks After Having Mononucleosis Can I Go Rock Climbing Again?
Posted by Rock Lover on March 22nd, 2010
I started showing symptoms of mono a month ago. I felt better after a week and a half, and the doctor said it was okay to go rock climbing in 3 weeks. I went climbing indoors this past weekend for an hour. Do you think that that was going back to climbing too fast and I am going to get a relapse soon?
i meant that the doctor said i could go climbing 3 weeks from the time i first started feeling better. So I waited until the doctor said it was okay, I’m just second guessing her opinion since i felt extremely tired afterward.

Im 18 years old and currently climb at around a v5 level. Im usually in the local rock climbing gym at least four times a week. I also have recently started doing about 50 pullups (usually 5 sets of 10) and 100 sit ups(usually 4 sets of 25). I was wondering if doing this many push ups and pull ups everyday is overtraining? And if its not, would increasing the number be detrimental?
By the way I forgot to mention that I mainly boulder, so Im looking to increase my strength more than my endurance.
