While on cycle, would ibuprofen consumption inhibit gains?

[52_21_30]

If you're on a cycle you could take 2 grams of ibuprofen a day and still make gains. In theory on paper NSAIDS inhibit muscle gains, and if you're taking hi doses every day, not eating, and not on cycle, you might start to lose muscle mass. But all this crap about NSAIDS being poison to bodybuilders is garbage. It's also a way for sources to push their "pain meds".

Depends on the dose, there are studies out there which answer this question to an extent.

search my username, and look for my ibrupofen thread....someone posted the link to the study. I stay away from ibuprofen, but then again i take vicodine when im in pain (which is prob worse, but not worse on gains)

so im iffy on this one.....do i take ibu, yes i would, all the time? no way, like sgt said if i needed it all the time i would find why i need it first.

So if you are taking it because of an injury/hard workout then i think you should be fine....but abusing it is where the problem starts
