was on vacation in NYC with gf last several days. it was fantastic, but i got no exercise in other than some mobility/stretching stuff and lots of walking. played it conservative and quick today: she's about to be busting her ass 5.5 days a week so i won't have as much time with her. workouts the rest of the week will be quick. back into the regular swing next week.

good fantasy, new york is awesome. i've been going a couple of times a year, at least, since birth. my mom's family is mostly in the city or the metro area (dutchess county and fairfield county, ct). would love to live there at some point but it'd very likely require a career change. not something i'm against, just not happening imminently.

WEIGHT: 176 damn it
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: stressed, underslept, distracted

- warm up

- rudimentary hops
focus on relaxed body

- jump squat 30 x 3,3

- SVJ x 8
3rd and 4th reps markedly better than the rest. felt different, i was pulling myself down with the arm swing better or something. more relaxed?

- squat 335 x 1; 345 x 1; 280 x 4,4
warm ups sucked, 335 easy, 345 solid. first backoff set was all over the place, wtf.

- push press 135 x 4,4
changed up the bottom position and felt better.

- pull up x 6,6,6,6

indoor playoffs start tomorrow so i didn't want to do any more to tucker out the ol' legs. we tanked last week and ended up seeded 8th of 20, instead of 4th, where we should have been. sucks for us as our prize for (knock wood) winning the first round game tomorrow will be a matchup against the undefeated #1 overall seed on thursday. i'm looking forward to tomorrow.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: fucked up right hip during first game
MENTAL STATE: tired, happy

- warm up

- indoor ultimate x 2 hours
playoff time. we blew the first team out -- they'd beaten us earlier in the year so that felt good. then second game the other team just had more subs and we got gassed. they went on a big run at one point and then just held us off. fifth place game on thursday. did same thing to my hip that i did the last time i played. no proximate cause, it just started aching at some point. played through it because, you know, playoffs and we were short-staffed. and actually, i played pretty well. had a couple of really sick assists and was not a complete waste of space as a cutter. d was mediocre but not terrible -- i don't think i gave up more than 3-4 deep scores, which is not bad.

will not gym tomorrow, ibuprofen and lots of fluids and stretching instead.

Too bored to search, does ibuprofen help healing? I mean does it actively act against the inflammation or does it just reduce the pain? Are you happy with it's action?
I am asking because here the most 'popular' and 'proven' nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug is Voltaren ( whose action from what i see is based on Diclofenac ). But everyone seems to swear to ibuprofen on the net so i was wondering if i should give it a chance. Also, pills or gel? Gel massage is what i use, but i've read its nonsence because the gel cant penetrate more than a couple of inches (shut up raptor!), so it can never reach the muscles.
Sooo off topic!

It's =/= Its

Its action is good
It's (it is) cold in here.

no guarantees that it's not placebo or some other psychosomatic thing, but for me ibuprofen is the most effective NSAID, for inflammation and pain both, although with an internal injury like the hip one (i have a gnarly burn on my leg, too, from hitting the deck on a defensive play) it's hard to say what the inflammation is like. i'm just going based on discomfort.

naproxen, in my experience, is useless. aspirin is hit-or-miss. don't know anything about diclofenac.

incidentally, ibuprofen is also best for hangovers, in combination with coffee.

always pills. never heard of gel NSAID.

Both are anti-inflammatory. None actually helps healing. Voltaren is just a brand name for drug Diclofenac. Like Advil and Ibuprofen. Try to avoid all NSAIDs if you can for regular use. I don't want to get into the details but all have some drawbacks, not the least of which is hepatic toxicity (bad for you liver). For those who don't care about their health... there is also evidence that they interfere with muscle gains (that should make you avoid them!) when used chronically. Personally, I favor athletes use Naproxen rather than Ibuprofen (brand name Aleve, celebrex is similar).

In general Diclofenac is available in the widely available Eastern Part of Europe (Turkey, Bulgaria, etc) and Ibuprofen in America. If anything I would argue for Diclofenac, there are better studies for diclofenac and arthritis relief than ibuprofen. Additionally dicofenac gel is much safer... if it works for you by all means use it! In general everyone on the net seems to use ibuprofen cause that's whats available in America and "everyone on the net" is probably from America. IMO not worth the effort for you to get it if you can't pick it up OTC. If you find Diclofenac doesn't work at all, I would try Naproxen.
