Was doing some reading and it suggested to increase lean muscle mass, you should be consuming 30 - 45 grams of fish oil a day. Seems like a lot to me. Anyone here taking that much and seeing a benefit?

In many seminars, I always get asked which supplements are best to gain mass. My answers will surprise many of you.
Here they are:
1. Fish Oil
What? Fish oil? That is not cool, avant-garde, sexy, or exotic. Fish oil?
Yes. Fish oil. You cannot be anabolic with enough Omega 3s. For example, I was once training a first-round pick for the NFL. He put on 29 lbs of lean body mass in one month once I jacked his fish oil intake to 45 grams a day. If you want to put muscle on and lose fat, take at least 30 grams of fish oil a day.
Additional reasons for using fish oil include:
It reduces inflammation.
It improves insulin sensitivity: makes glucose and amino acids get better in your starved muscle cells.
Taking fish oil in a liquid form is the most economical way of doing it. But taking them every meal works best. I always recommend a combination of liquid and capsules - Liquid for home meals, and capsules for away from home meals.
2. Primal Greens:

Im here for the gangbang
Is this right? 30-45g of fish oil. I have been taking 2g ED (directions on bottle) and now after reading this i might have to bump it up X 20
no, megadosing fish oil is just a goofy off-the-wall recommendation.
DHA saturates in the body at 1.2g/day, which IIRC is 10 DHA+EPA (regular ol fish oil) caps (although theres no "standard" cap, and this number can vary substantially). Anything above that is just extra fat in your diet, save for arthritis/anti-inflammatory issues.
Another issue ive seen brought up is that mega-dosing fish oil can impair the bodies ability to mount an immune or inflammatory response.
And what do you know, Poliquin (the guy generally associated with fish oil mega-dosing, among other goofy shit) just happens to sell fish oil.

So 1.2g of fish oil is all your body will use? A lot of people here are taking 20+ grams and reccommending it.
thats 1.2g of DHA, not fish oil. 1000mg of a general fish oil concentrate contains 120mg DHA.
120mg x 10 caps = 1.2g

25 per day here...haven't stopped hitting PR's since I've been taking. I recommend.
its meh. the conversion of ALA from flax to DHA/EPA, the fat you want, is inefficient. fish oil is a direct source of DHA/EPA.
