Is aspirin before weightlifting le good or le bad
-
some people say because if lessens inflammation that taking aspirin after lifting is bad for muscle growth, firstly is this even a realistic thing from a bioenergetic pov (think i read somewhere doms actually doesnt matter for muscle geowth) and secondly, well that’s it i dont have a second question. im thinking of taking it before lifting to get super relaxed and blissed out with coffee. just 325mg

@sunsunsun if youre thinking about doms, I have not gotten doms at all since peating but have put on the most muscle since then

I don't have an answer but i share your doubt, it doesn't seem like reducing inflammation would reduce muscle growth. Am pretty sure there's someone with an answer for that but ... i'd love to hear it too.
As for myself, i always have three water bottles handy which i take a gulp from before and after a workout. My mixed Vitamin-B water, my buffered Aspirin and Quali-C water, and my Mag+Calcium bicarbonate mineral water. I do not get sore unless i really push it with extra negative reps, and even then the soreness is mild and disappears fast. Almost forgot, i always have my fortifield collagen powder after workouts too, am sure it's helping.
As for bliss with coffee i recommend everyone try the following, put a small pinch of Mag-Sulfate (USP epsom salt) in every cup. Just as sugar can help blunt the cortisol response that small amount of Magnesium is noticeable, it actually caught on at my workplace. Collagen in coffee is icing on the cake at this point.

@jamezb46 he mogs, trust me.

@alfredoolivas not getting doms is one of the most retarded things I have ever heard
In time there is life but no knowledge; outside time there is knowledge but no life

@sunsunsun I literally have no idea what you just said. Is there a brainrot decompiler I could use?

@jamezb46 u lowkey tried to mock me for suggesting AI book was bad and then u urself came to the conclusion my intuition is right when presented with material evidence and your ego dissauaded you from being cool about it after and saying “my bad”
ur antagonism isnt tough or intimidating or respectful, it is cringe
also ur inability to appreciate things like doms isnt necessary for muscle growth is the same as reddit tier posters on steroid subs saying the cliche things like test is best or whatever archaic now irrelevant steroid cycle things but youre too arrogant to recognize the same energy being displayed in your attitude by eyerolling at the no doms claim
this is the best i can do to explain it, you may not comprehend it, it’s because u cant see the level i am speaking from yet

There’s a recent study in which participants (young and active) performed concentric exercises and took NSAIDs on the same day, and those who took NSAIDs experienced much greater muscle hypertrophy despite having strength gains equal to the placebo group. And if you use knockout cPLA2 animals, which drastically reduces COX-2, the muscles exhibit excessive hypertrophy even without stimulation.
Muscle CSA was increased from baseline in both groups at 28 days (PLA 4.3 ± 2.5%, P = 0.039; NSAID 4.6 ± 3.7%, P = 0.011), but only in the NSAID group at 84 days (PLA 3.9 ± 0.8%, NSAID 8.6 ± 5.3%; P < 0.001; NSAID vs. PLA, P = 0.038), and was paralleled by muscle volume changes
I honestly think it would be harmful in two cases, and this is just my opinion:
- You’re already reasonably PUFA depleted, especially of omega-6
- Your type of training causes a lot of muscle damage.
In the case of 2, I think that when you have a lot of structural damage and lack the energy to recover quickly and adequately, suppressing inflammation (and hormesis) would prevent the tissue from remodeling to adapt to this energy deficit, so it could become vulnerable.
But it’s best to test it yourself and draw your own conclusions.

@sunsunsun No I mocked you for expecting the confirmation that the book was not AI slop to come from the OP of that thread who looks like he is either the author or otherwise affiliated with the author. As the great Thomas Reid wrote, "If you want to know if a man is a liar, don't ask him"
