Anyone use anything? Ibuprofen? Aspirin? Does it affect gains?

El Diablo Blanco · « **Reply #2 on:** February 09, 2015, 11:11:16 AM »

Aspirin with my ECA stack, so yeah, there is some benefit.

What about Anacin?

Pain killers are just a gateway drug to heroine and coke. Tread lightly young man

Nice, but you gotsa switch to Ulimate Orange. Shit is killer. Take your Hot Stuff afterwards for ultimate gains.

A great pre-workout combo for me : Aspirin + Caffeine

swanzi85 · « **Reply #11 on:** February 09, 2015, 01:54:34 PM »

I take a thc hit right before the gym with whatever preworkout,usually coffee and creatine, and good to go. Wonder if crushing a little xanax into my coffee would be fun every now and then. I train for the endorphines and pump anyway

Yep.

No athlete on earth should ever consider taking ibuprofen. For a multitude of reasons. Unless you could care less about recovery...

What do you suggest for training related aches and pains? I have been take a bit of Ibuprofen as of late...

Pain killers are used a lot in running and cycling

I dont see why anyone would use it for bodybuilding purposes though...to deal with sides?

Most pain killers are very harsh on the kidneys, combining them with anabolics is not the smartest thing to do

Rest or train around it, longterm use of ibuprofen...you do not want that

I've heard that mentioned before, I wonder if there's truth to that.

I always use Advil before running because I sometimes get extreme inflammation in my left ankle. I know it's from running with too much weight because when I cut down the pain goes down considerably. I would say it's not necessary for weight lifting though. You want the muscle inflamed right? Tear the shit out of them.

Mr Anabolic · « **Reply #21 on:** February 09, 2015, 06:15:10 PM »

Don't do that. They inhibit muscle growth. The inflammation is necessary.

Hulkotron · « **Reply #22 on:** February 09, 2015, 06:16:24 PM »

These are concerns mostly for the smaller guys.

I was talking about cardio. The inflammation inhibits my cardio. For example with no inflammation I can easily run a 5K in 26 mins and with inflammation it will be a brutal 33 mins.

It's absolutely legitimate.

Here's 1 to start with:
British Journal of Sports Medicine. 43: 548-549, 2009.

Also, just google it for a million articles discussing the mechanism of action and resultant effects.
