Does Aleve (naproxim) retard muscle growth?

Does Aleve (naproxim) inhibit protein synthesis at all like advil or tylenol does?

well, if you think advil inhibits protein synthesis then you should think aleve does also since they are the same class of drugs. Tylenol isn't the same though. Never heard of it inhibiting protein synthesis before.

Just take it if necessary and not daily unless you need it.

Do what the doctor tells you. It may reduce your gains slightly, but its not going to make your cycle worthless or anything.

Something to do with inhibiting certain inflamitory messengers that trigger muscle growth.

Listen, Ive been running 400mg Ibuprofin almost every day for a while now. Sometimes 800mg. Ive made great gains in strength and size both on and off cycle. I dont take it immedietly before or right after training.

If I take it in the evening, its 3-4 hours after working out. If I take it in the morning, its 6-8 hours before training. I dont think its affecting me that much, maybe 20% or something like that.

You have to look at the big picture. If your joints/tendons cant heal from your training sessions, you cant work out, so whats going to build more muscle - not working out or taking Ibuprofin and working out?
