I don't want to sound like a jerk, but ihmo unless you're injured or would injure yourself by lifting, suck it up. I prefer to workout when I'm sore (to some degree) because then I get a really good connection. The more you can feel what you're working, the better imho. Until it's extreme and you're going to actually injure yourself. Then it becomes stupidity.

Okay a side question. I know ibuprofen is bad for muscle recovery etc. but is it okay if I take one before I lift just this once because my body is super sore and hurts after last nights football game lol. I don't know if my hands could handle the bar without some ibuprofen.

Pretty sure the tests for ibuprofen were well above 1000mg dosages that affected muscle recovery.

Thanks I appreciate this.

And is bigger better? Should they bulk?

First off, it would depend on your type of offense.  Weight is good if you're a power house, but you still need to be able to move.  If you're primarily a shotgun - 4 or 5 wide team, you need them to be quick. 

The bigger is always better as long as they're still fast enough to get their blocks.
