Anytime you think you have achieved a new level of recovery, wait for two weeks. If the improvement lasts two weeks, it will likely hold. Ease back into activity. Again, wait two weeks between each increase in activity.
Body building can be bad for PCS because it relies on tearing down muscle tissue so it will rebuild stronger. The waste products from the muscle tear down can be toxic to the brain.
For the short term, you may be able to exercise to maintain condition. That should be the limit of your goals. Avoid body building supplements. Read the vitamins Sticky at the top. Feed/nourish your brain.
Any time you notice a return of symptoms, look back at the previous day or two to find a trigger. You may feel great over-doing it on Monday then feel lousy on Wednesday. The Monday effort is the trigger. Most triggers have a lag before symptoms return. Sensory overload is about the only trigger that causes immediate symptoms.
