Aspirin?

One thing that has been in vogue for the last few years has been to
take at least one aspirin (to thin the blood, prevent vessel
clogging/stroke/heart attack). Does anyone know the relative
merits/drawbacks as far as weight training is concerned? I'm thinking
about starting to do this, but if it's a huge setback factor, I'll
reconsider.

Thanks

You can stuff a whole bottle up your ass, and it won't help your
lifting.

I would start by asking your doctor if he thinks it's appropriate for
you.

I have a vague recollection that some of the typical painkillers indeed do
have a drawback on training with weights. Don't remember the exact details
though.
Do some Googling on NSAID and weightlifting.

talk to a doctor. There are bad side effects from taking aspirin
chronically. If you aren't in the 'at risk' category they mayoutweigh
the benefits.

Here's an article from PubMed. Testing was done with Ibuprofen or something.
However I believe it goes under a common name of NSAID where aspirin also
belongs.

The results in this study suggest that over-the-counter doses of both
ibuprofen and acetaminophen suppress the protein synthesis response in
skeletal muscle after eccentric resistance exercise

I have read about the Prozac in some magazines, that it is used
medically in the treatment of depression, obsessive-compulsive
disorder, premenstrual dysphonic disorder, and many other disorders.

I have also searched the information about Prozac in some sites.
But you can get effective information about Prozac on:

Hoo boy, we's got a live one here...

They also say a childrens dose (1/4 adult, 81 mg)
is just as effective with lesser side-effects.
The large dose is for pain relief.

The children's dose is still not without potential side-effects,
however. Certainly some people would have to be very careful, e.g.,
anyone with ulcers, already taking other medications for heart or blood
pressure issues, etc.

IOW, talk to your doctor and don't do this on your own.

Oh [censored]! I take a bottle or two a day of adult aspirin everyday,
no harm done.
