??

Just curious, sometimes i take an 800mg Ibuprofen after leg day cuz me knees are inflamed or after a particularly strenuous episode of cardio. Does counter act the effects of t3?

Be careful. It can mess up your kidneys.

I'll take that as a suggestion to get rid of Advil when on a cut

There is a school of thought that advil (and similar) are counterproductive to the muscle building process (and healing in general) because they suppress inflammation.
The thinking is that inflammation is a mechanism the body uses to speed the repair of tissue by cranking up local blood flow and temperature.

Personally, I'm not sure, but I avoid taking it purely for comfort and I'm skeptical that it serves a real therapeutic purpose.
