Ibuprofen

[treilin]

So what is your take from a body builders perspective on taking this pre and/or post work-out? My trainer doesn't like it because it messes with the inflammation of the muscles and hinders growth. Another trainer says if you are hurt ie... a rotator cuff muscle take it post work-out. What is your thoughts??

MY Physical therapist said I take it after for pain but not before...can stop you from feeling any problems arrising while working out..don't know about the growth

Ibuprofen in general you want to not get carried away with because it can eat the lining of your stomach in large doses. I use only for muscle pain & inflamation.

An aspirin however can work in conjunction w/ an ECA and can also help w/ paini.

I generally only use any of that if I'm sore.

I take it only if I'm really sore and in pain
