Two cups of coffee may douse workout pain

Think I will skip their advise on this:

Caffeine cuts muscle soreness better than some drugs, small study suggests

‘If you can use caffeine to reduce the pain, it may make it easier to transition from that first week into a much longer exercise program,’ said lead researcher Victor Maridakis.

Forgo the after-workout massage for a cup o' joe? Moderate doses of caffeine — the equivalent of two cups of coffee — can cut post-gym muscle pain, suggests a new but small study. 

The findings have particular relevance for people new to exercise, since they tend to experience the most soreness.

“If you can use caffeine to reduce the pain, it may make it easier to transition from that first week into a much longer exercise program,” said lead researcher Victor Maridakis of the University of Georgia.

Post-workout? Interesting. Most of us use caffiene for a pre-workout boost.

Tramal or Medrol if you really have pain. Soreness can be atenuated with aspirin. My choices because I am alergic to caffein...
