No change to diet or training?

 

[Skarhead1]

nope. Diet and training was the same. I use west side methods.. I did add a little bit of extra conditioning in because i play football on sundays too.

While blood pressure tended to decrease with fish oil alone, the tendency was once again greatest in the FOX group. FOX also had a beneficial effect on heart rate variability, triglyceride levels and artery function.

Amazing results in only 3 months! Dr. Howe also states that “omega-3 protects blood vessel walls by increasing their elasticity and improving endothelial dilation, enabling increased delivery of nutrients to exercising muscles.” This makes me wonder what the effect of fish oil is on building muscle mass when combined with strength training.



I think i found out why FO builds muscle

Where do you get your fish oil? 30g/day must get $$$$

 

[Skarhead1]

www.dpsnutrition.com I use NOW Foods, they make quality products cheap... I'm going to ramp the fish oils down for two weeks then go to 45 grams/day and see waht that does... it's about 20 bucks a month. nothin crazy

I heard from Fish Oil Pills,
I was thinking of losing some fat,

I was going to lower my Calorie intake to 2500.
Continue to eat Protein (1g to 1 lb) training days, less on rest days, Eat VERY low fat, But if I were to take 6g to 6 one-gram cap of fish oil each day that would lower my body fat and increase muscle mass with no change in diet?

I would try and lower my Carbohydrate as far as I could with-out going into Ketosis.

and then bike for 30-45 4-5days a weeks and pump weights.

WOULD TYHIS WORK OUT

a) if you're trying to lose weight and build msucle 1g of protein per lb isnt going to do it, especially on "off" days when you're actually growing. First thing, make your protein at elast 1.5g per lb a day

b) low fat isnt the way to go. Good fats are essential and a great energy source. There are essential fats, essential proteins but no such thing as an essential carb. if you're going to keep one macro low go with low carbs

c) Fish oil HAS been demonstrated to lose fat WITHOUT changing diet/training in obeese people but the research that I just posted doesn't suggests it builds msucle without dieting/training. it says the opposite , fish oil will just aid in building muscle due to the uptake in nutrients in exercised muscles

 

[Suareezay]

taking Poliquins advice to heart?

 

[Skarhead1]

sure why not? been working so far

 

[Suareezay]

well hes a loon, for one.

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.

fish oil: more anabawlick than any drug known to man.

sure thing, chuck.

Good for you man, in a year you'll be up...what...60lbs, of fat or muscle? Soon maybe you'll turn pro.

His views on nutrition are highly suspect, however, he is one heck of a good trainer.

Ditto that! I use a whole slew of NOW products and have been very impressed. Everything from BCAA's & Creatine to CoQ10 & multi's. Highly recommended.

Skar..: Were you able to notice where the 5lbs showed?? (meaning just on the scale or could you see results on a specific body part)

 

[Skarhead1]

upper body because it has gotten increasingly stronger as of recent, and have been doing more hypertrophy work for it.Normally my lower body grows better though
