What do you think of taking some aspirin during training layoffs? I have considered during my off weeks taking some aspirin on the 4th day to really drive down the stress hormones and upregulate glucose oxidation. I'm not a fan of supplementation at all, but if there's a need or a benefit I'm open to it.
I just know there's a slight backlash effect with aspirin in terms of clotting. I want to avoid that, and I'm not sure if even just taking it once opens me up for more platelet aggregation?
Id highly recommend it mate. I ran it on and off and it definitely helped me maintain size and improved health, never mind the reduction in joint and back pain. Ive gone as high as 3-4g daily, always balanced with 1mg K2 per 300-350mg aspirin.
And it synergises with caffeine and creatine to give a nice training boost. As does inosine.
Aspirin also magnifies the effect of TRT exponentially through aromatase inhibition I'd guess.
