Ibuprofen before Vo2 max workouts? You too? - Page 2

LOL! Sounds like you are relating some of your prior experience...I'll pass, thank you very much...

LOL! This is getting comical...Bulk amounts???? 200-400mgs???? LOL!

Never thought asking such a benign question would:

1. Have my manhood questioned
2. Have me being accused of practically overdosing on Ibuprofen.
3. Have my competitive spirit analysed such that I will probably never win a race because I've taken Ibuprofen before a training session.

LOL!

kidney failure?

I have taken Ibuprophen before a ride basically because I was feeling my age but I don't think it makes me homosexual, of course there those time that I don't like women that well but my penis has an insatiable and almost addictive need for vagina and the penis always wins the argument when it comes to a battle of wills.
So, I have ibuprophen, but not often.

I have gone to a talk with an MD (a cardiologist IIRC) and the issue of kidney failure due to the use of Ibuprofen was brought up. He said that based on research, for kidney failure to be a risk one would have to take Ibuprofen 3-4 times/week for 2-3 years straight.

For the record, I don't take Ibuprofen for the reasons that Dave brought up. Plus the idea of using pain killers in training/racing is unappealing to me as a clean athlete.

Women weaken legs

Either MTB or cyclo-cross doesn't appeal to you, showering every other day is not an option or ibuprofen is on the banned list.....

Which is it?

Good to know there are others out there that know the world is not going to come to an end with sporadic usage of Ibuprofen.

I like women with perfect legs. Feet on one end and on the other end..................

You just gave me a good excuse why I don't do cyclo-cross. Thanks, I needed a good one.

really... you find L6 the hardest... for me L5s are the most painful... and by a large margin.

for OP... it has been shown that ibuprofen might slow recovery... shouldn't give this away but... Asprin and Ginseng is the ticket...

Thanks for the tip...finally, something constructive...

this is a joke right? we're talking two Advils a before doing a hard ride... why don't we see huge rashes of women dying of kidney failure from treating their menstral cramps.. lol...

Just wondering. What do you guys think about this?
