[4545]

OK guys trained chest/Tris Mon. Still sore to the point i couldnt lift up a gallon of water without pain. I know i didnt tear anything. Is there anything over the counter that will help. I have been taking some tylenol but its just not helping. Any good ideas? Thanks guys.

Allieve is much better. stronger for muscle soreness

Aleve is naproxen sodium. I used to get this stuff from my orthopedic spec. in presc. strength for joint pain. Works great on all muscle pains as it is a anti-flam.

I don't agree with the NSAID route. This will actually interfere with the natural healing process of soft tissue. NSAIDs inhibit the release of prostaglandins which begin the healing process.

The best thing you can do for yourself is to eat and eat big. That's right just eat. That will provide the nutrition you need to heal and then you'll be fine. Decent amounts of vitamin C will do wonders too.

But reaching for the advil every time you get sore is definitely not a good idea for someone looking for muscle hypertrophy. IMO anyway.

Good luck bro.

All this and SLEEP.
