Didn't find anything related to my question yet so I thought I would ask.
Anyone ever include ibuprofen (Advil) as part of your regular training supplementation? Any adverse effects or concerns in your experience?
I'm 27 and a half, not too old but I'm not 19 anymore and I am legitimately feeling the need lengthen the recovery period from training. At this age I'm feeling now when things hurt it hurts for longer. Because of that I've had to compromise the frequency and length of training. I just can't stand to buck up and train through the soreness anymore. But I'll never stop training entirely.
The soreness isn't so much lactic acid build up, it's more a holistic soreness. It's in my muscles and joints, aches everywhere, hard to move. At work my students wonder why I grunt all the time and it's because it hurts to even move around lol.
I do boxing three times a week and weights and other cardio the other days, five to six times a week. At this point I'll just limit to training five times a week. I'm not looking to compete, just train hard and spar sometimes with the (younger) guys.
I'm looking to make Ibuprofen as part of my regular supplementation. I'll take no more than 200mg a day when I need it, which may be at least three times a week.
Anyway thanks in advance for any input.
