In fact, I'll make a case for that, Justin. The faster you can get back to training normal, the better. Therefore, your number one goal when you have an injury is healing. It is not preventing muscle loss. It's to heal. That's the number one goal that you have.

Yeah. You know, what's good by the way, with injuries that also simultaneously helps with muscle is red light therapy. So red light therapy helps heal injuries faster and, also simultaneously promotes strength gain. So that's actually a really, really good tool for something like that.

It depends how much weight you're seeing because some weight gain is expected with a reverse diet.

Like, you know, four or five pounds, that's fine. You're talking 15 pounds, 10 pounds. Go up slower. Stay at a caloric level for longer before you start bumping in or bump up slower. When I would bump people up on reverse dieting, my calorie bumps would be between 100 to 200 calories typically. If I saw like big changes, then I could do as little as 50, just very, very little.

But about 100 to 200 is good. So if you see a lot of weight gain, slow down.

No. So NSAIDs are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, ibuprofen, naproxen, aspirin. They reduce the inflammatory process. The inflammatory process is also involved in in signaling muscle growth or repair. So it probably will reduce. the muscle building signal, but it doesn't completely negate those gains. So it's not like you take ibuprofen. It's like, I wasted my workout.

Yeah, it's tiny, right? The studies are with chronic use.

That's the thing. Yeah. And I think this is where people are being misled. It's like it's not like a few occasions where you're actually in pain, you're medicating some pain to what about like, you know, the following preceding workouts and like, you know, to be able to, you know, recover and bring your inflammation down and be able to move and then also build upon that.
