APAP overdose is actually the number one cause of acute liver failure in the US and UK, most likely because people walk around popping pills from their purse or pocket and rarely think about the total dosage taken. Further, combination of APAP and alcohol, APAP and caffeine, or APAP and other drugs can be especially lethal. An additional note, for those interested, is that endurance exercise may help to protect against APAP toxicity. Endurance exercise (i.e. distance running) appears to improve synthesis of the body's major anti-oxidative compound, leading to increased protection against APAP metabolite oxidation of proteins and nucleic acids.

Tanzaniki, if you do a little more reading, you'll notice the study you mentioned was a 16 day study and this newer study, I believe was a 3 month study. It may take some time for the supercompensation to start. Of course, it may only impact the elderly as well. Who knows? Yes, I am a geezer. I'm 35 years old. Better to be a geezer than a total wanker. "Btw, I got here by looking for a way to handle a headache that will not stunt muscle growth. If anyone has any suggestions, I’d be very thankful." They didn't mention asprin. It may be ok. “A 2002 study by the same doctor using generally fit male subjects in their mid to late-20s found that ibuprofen and acetaminophen inhibited muscle synthesis.”

The analgesic properties most probably played a role enabling them to work harder and be more active between sessions. Ibuprofen also has anti-inflammatory properties so this also would reduce soreness in the joints and muscles. I agree with Rich and Stephen.

You can't 'cut' your muscles by lifting weights. If you want more definition you have to do this with diet and cardio. See http://www.TotalSixPackAbs.com Mark Hi Chris.

I have a question tho..How do I "cut" my muscles? For example, my biceps are getting much larger, but I don't see much more definition..what do I need to do?

For example, elderly people are know to have higher levels of aches and pains. People on painkillers (i.e. with less pain) may be more active between sessions, which may have helped muscle growth. I look forward to more research to explain the divergent findings. Btw, I got here by looking for a way to handle a headache that will not stunt muscle growth.

Personally, I think by the time I stop seeing gains from natural lifting I will be happy with the shape I'm in. I'm not even close to showing signs of slowed growth yet and I'm starting to like what I see in the mirror more than before. But I guess some people do hit a plateau and are desperate to keep growing. I don't believe in putting pills in my body unless I'm actually sick. Just my opinion. Greg Hmmm.
