aspirin before workout

[Muhamed Kain]

since aspirin thins blood, do you guys think is beneficial to take it before work out for vascularity and circulation?

It inhibits protein synthesis. It's said not to take before or after training.

This is a very old school protocol that was done. I am talking probably in the 60's or 70's.

It has since been proven that it is not effective.

Vascularity is improved by having a low body fat, genetics in general, and with certain AAS like EQ.

Taking anti inflammatory drugs like Aspirin/Ibuprofen before your workout will actually be counterproductive for your muscle building goals. Inflammation (the pump) is needed to signal the hypertrophy (muscle building) process. By taking Ibuprofen before your workout, you will blunt that response and not get as much of a hypertrophy response from the workout that you would of otherwise.

Aspirin/Ibuprofen also carries a more liver toxic nature then most oral steroids. I am really not a fan of anti-inflammatory pain medications unless they are 100% necessary.

If you want something to increase endurance before your workout, check out cadarine. It will directly increase fat loss, endurance and recovery. It won't effect muscle gains like anti-inflammatory drugs will. It also isn't a hormone or a stimulant so there are no issues of hormone suppression, cortisol increases etc. -> http://www.evolutionary.org/cardarine/

^^^ i will add that shutting off inflammation opens you up to more chronic injuries long term. not smart

No inflammation results in no growth when it comes to muscle hypertrophy, so I would not add that if your goal is to grow.

When it comes to cutting, its always added in ECA stack, due to synergy with caffeine and ephedrine. Then its another story.
