it is an anti inflamatory which most know so do you think it is good , bad, or doesnt matter to train on them, do you think it hinders pumps in any way, or relaxes muscle in anyway , just a question i have had, and yeah i train on them
 
I think it probably doesn't matter. You do bring up a fairly good point as to it may hinder the pumps. Not sure though
 
Anti-Inflamatories are known to hinder protein synthesis. Somehting all bodybuilders don't want to happen. I can't remember where I read it but I'm sure it was genuine fact. I can look it up if you'd like.
 
hmm i was more concerned with the hindring pumps but now im intrigued , i would like to read more on that if ya find it bro

We examined the effect of two commonly consumed over-the-counter analgesics, ibuprofen and acetaminophen, on muscle protein synthesis and soreness after high-intensity eccentric resistance exercise. Twenty-four males (25 +/- 3 yr, 180 +/- 6 cm, 81 +/- 6 kg, and 17 +/- 8% body fat) were assigned to one of three groups that received either the maximal over-the-counter dose of ibuprofen (IBU; 1,200 mg/day), acetaminophen (ACET; 4,000 mg/day), or a placebo (PLA) after 10-14 sets of 10 eccentric repetitions at 120% of concentric one-repetition maximum with the knee extensors. Postexercise (24 h) skeletal muscle fractional synthesis rate (FSR) was increased 76 +/- 19% (P < 0.05) in PLA (0.058 +/- 0.012%/h) and was unchanged (P > 0.05) in IBU (35 +/- 21%; 0.021 +/- 0.014%/h) and ACET (22 +/- 23%; 0.010 +/- 0.019%/h). Neither drug had any influence on whole body protein breakdown, as measured by rate of phenylalanine appearance, on serum creatine kinase, or on rating of perceived muscle soreness compared with PLA. These results suggest that over-the-counter doses of both ibuprofen and acetaminophen suppress the protein synthesis response in skeletal muscle after eccentric resistance exercise. Thus these two analgesics may work through a common mechanism to influence protein metabolism in skeletal muscle.
