 Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22059 posts | I'm amazed by the amount of painkiller usage that goes on among lifters. Some guys seem to live on pills! I haven't taken a painkiller for many years, and NEVER due to lifting pains or injuries. | ||

 I personally prefer the stiffest possible. Member 158, 3110 posts SQ 170, BP 107.5, DL 222.5500.0 kgs @ 67.4kgs UnEq | I find Ibuprofen to have a very mild effect. Its always better to sort the root of the problem. Maybe try some stretching or go and see someone. | ||
