Effects of aspirin on hypertrophy

[Test3]

I’m on Telmaheal 40mg for HBP. This blast my top number is starting to rise slightly. I wanted to try baby aspirin to see if I can get it to drop back down a little. The one concern is the effects of NSAID on hypertrophy. I see a lot of guys posting to take aspirin to thin the blood to lower HBP but if aspirin lowers hypertrophy is it worth it to blast just to lower the the muscle growth potential with aspirin just to keep BP in check?

I promise you that with gear, a good diet, and proper recovery you will not notice any effect on gains from dosing it.

The studies that have revealed muscle hypertrophy attenuation from NSAID consumption used mega doses of 1200mg ibuprofen taken in close proximity to resistance training sessions over 8 - 12 weeks, and even then, these doses did not prevent hypertrophy, they merely diminished the rate of hypertrophy (i.e., the subjects still gained muscle using this protocol, just not as much as the control groups). A daily 81mg aspirin is inconsequential in regard to your gains. Combine this with the fact that you are using PEDs, and it becomes virtually completely irrelevant.

Take the proper measures to control your blood pressure, that is far more important, anyway. Don't let this insignificant stuff stress you, it's not worth your mental energy.

Oh, and as a side note, you should look into daily low-dose tadalafil (Cialis) as a supplement to assist with blood pressure management. It's very common for physicians to prescribe a daily dose of 5 - 10mg for this very purpose (it also has other fringe health benefits). Something to consider.
