Read this thread on lifting and Ibuprofen

To all who use ibuprofen and acetaminophen please read the following thread very very informative


http://ajpendo.physiology.org/cgi/content/full/282/3/E551 (replaced with new link)

Basically, it says: don't lift weights after you take ibuprofen or acetaminophen (or don't expect a speedy recovery after lifting weights while having taken ibuprofen). That would make sense because both drugs fight against muscle soreness and inflammation.

For those who cant get the link .. Here's the conclusion of the study..

In conclusion, the increased rate of muscle protein synthesis normally seen 24 h after high-intensity eccentric resistance exercise was attenuated by consumption of ibuprofen and acetaminophen at over-the-counter levels. The long-term influence of this acute response after resistance exercise for individuals who chronically consume these (or similar) drugs cannot be determined from this study. However, long-term use of these drugs may inhibit the normal hypertrophic response to resistance training. Future studies on the impact of chronic consumption of over-the-counter doses of these drugs on skeletal muscle are warranted.

I first read about NSAIDS and muscle gain years ago. I don't use them.
