    I take Advil / Ibuprofen BEFORE any additional movement in life; IE cycling, jogging/running / etc.

    Combined with a 1/2 tab of Gravol (for mild anxiety / stomach) AND this is as (medically) high as I'll probably ever be in my life. Lightly caffeinated as well.

    Calculated risk (wisdom) rather than unabashedly chaotic (naivety/youth).

    • Inflammation is a double-edged sword, it tears down, but also heals and rebuilds. NSAIDs are incompatible with physical exercisedrgs
    • Bodybuilders take arachidonic acid to increase their inflammation. The only exception is when your immune system is out of whack and attacks itself etcdrgs

    • That ibuprophen isn’t helping your stomach. Use it too long and you get ulcers. Naproxen/Aleve is the same. And probably aspirin for that matter.monNom
