Fish Oil....That's it.  I just discovered fish oil.  I've seen ppl list it in their supplements that they take and recommend it to other people, but no where have I read why.  So, I bought some for 3$, a 2 month supply of the stuff.  I started lifting July of 2005 at 146 pounds.  In five months, I was up 16 pounds, so that put me at 162.  That was pretty awesome.  Then the second semester of school started, and I had a p.e. class, so I finally got to lift with free weights and do squats, bench press, etc. instead of my standalone, all-in-one weight machine at home.  I finished school at 159 pounds....what the heck, lost weight?!?  I was eating healthy and lifting properly.... 
 
October 7, 2006 (160 pounds with clothes)
At walmart, looking at their supps, not interested, then I see fish oil.  It was cheap, I had money....it was mine.  October 28, 171 pounds naked and starving (not literally, as i cannot fully understand the meaning of starving as ive never been dying of it).
 
Seriously what in the world would cause it to have such an effect.  Roughly 11 pounds of muscle.  Oh yeah, and my bf% went down a little! 
 
I'm not saying fish oil will do this to you too, but if you havent gained in forever, like me, then i would advise you to make a 3$ investment and test your luck.  I'll post some new pics once i get up to 180.  I'm still shredded and everything, its weird.  Arms and chest are noticably bigger...i dunno.  It's crazy.
 
You guys can respond to this if you want, but i am mainly posting it just to tell about it.

When and how much do you take?

toolman, didnt i read somewhere that u were gunna cycle PH's? or gear? maybe that has somthing to do with 11 pound gain? but i could be mistaken, either way congrats on the gains.

i also see this in many peoples diet but i have not yet tried it.  Any body have any decent articles on fish oil? Or anything to say about it?

I highly doubt your gains were through the result of taking fish oil.  Fish oil promotes weight loss and healthy skin amongst other things.  You might be eating differently or your growth is a result of another supplement

maybe he wasn't having enough "good fats" before taking fish oil...

no. there are one of 2 options here.

fishoil helps lose fat and aids in heart health, thats it. His tests were WRONG. someone did one of the 2 tests incorrectly. Even with steroids its IMPOSSIBLE to gain 11lbs in 1 month.

11 lbs in a month is impossible on steroids? Many people on a SD/SD Clone cycle see around 10-15 lbs with a 3 week cycle. Now im not saying this is 100% lean muscle, I can guarantee theres some fat gain as well, especially if you go on a hypercaloric bulking diet while on a PH. Also dont tell me its water weight. I actually lost 4 lbs the first few days, but now Im back up to 170 and I'm just finishing my first week. Hopefully after PCT Ill be around 175-180.

wtf is pct, i like flax seed oil (its same as fish oil i believe) its good for repairing ligaments and **** to i think, it also stimulates brain development, i think its all teh omega 3 and 6, and yeah i like it, and i like vaugn true's back btw, very cut.

this doesnt make any sense, how the hell do you get huge off of fish oil? its a fatty acid, when the hell do fatty acids make you get big?

what i meant was that 11 pounds of pure lbm was not attainable in 11 days. A common steroid cycle runs 12 weeks(3 months) and most users would be more than impressed if they could gain 25lbs. So no, 11lbs of lbm is NOT possible in 1 months. 11lbs of muscle, water, and bloating is very possible

im looking pretty bad lately avaric...havent been allowed to touch a weight in a month now...lost 14lbs and gained about 3-4% bf. I have to go for some more tests on thursday, but it looks like I might need surgery after all

i didnt gain 11 lbs in 11 days....i gained 11 lbs. in 21 days.  And my tests werent wrong....i check my weight 2-3 times daily and bf% every day during the week (is that weird?)  I really did gain 11 lbs.  I'm only on fish oil and on 100% whey right now, and i've been taking the whey for months, my diet stayed the same
 
oh, i take 2 fish oil caps 3 times daily after the 3 big meals i have

11 pounds does sound kind of high
