Gr-Easy EJL's fish oil megadosing ala Charles Poliquin thread

[canadian champ]

Can you guys direct me to the cheapest source of liquid fish oil? The cheapest I can manage is around 5cents a gram. Any bulk (ie. 2L) suppliers?

Lovely. Anything else I should be aware of that has not been mentioned in prior posts?

Not in terms of negatives no. the hair isn't that bad.

If you have them, I'd recommend Costco. I pickup 400 caps (1g/cap) for ~ $9

cool thread, Poliquin is a great strength coach -- but don't think that his athletes are natural. With that said, I'm going to up my fish oil dosing

I've been following his principles since the MM2K days...

he's definitely legit... Packed 55lbs of Muscle and killed all the fat on David Boston in ~14months. Didn't result in a better football player after Boston crossed 235lbs, but impressive results nonetheless.

He works with tons of NHL players who are generally AAS free (HGH might be a different story).

David Boston was a Franken-Steroid project!

A good brand of gelcaps to avoid fish burps is Barleans. When you open the bottle it smells like an orange.

I might try this mega dosing but I would like to find better tasting liuid if possible. Tried a few way back when think twinlab maybe Vshoppe and wasn't easy to deal with but if benefits are there I'll deal with the taste or find cheaper(quality as well)caps.

Interesting thread.

So there is no health risk involved with such high dosage of fish oil, right?

Some. Really the main one is that cuts are likely to take longer to stop bleeding. thats the primary. other than that there is limited damage. Remember this is around the amount of fish oil you would get from eating 2-3 4oz salmon fillets a day. Not completely insane.

BTW quick update for me, scale is now reading 211 for the last 2 days, so a bit lower. Hard to say why, but its 2 days in a row. So that still leaves me at 12 lbs up in 19 days, which is still better than i see from most steroids/designers/ etc and at the same time my liver isn't crying in my sleep, and if anything my cholesterol should be improving....

i was going to ask you about this. im not taking big doses of Fish oil , but since i runned out of cycle support i increased my dose from 6 gr ED to 9.6-12 gr and i have noticed that my blood got a nice bright red color and it takes longer to coagulate and to form scabs and once the scabs are formed they can be easyly removed. i got a nose bleed 3 days ago and it hasnt healed completely. it starts healing and eveything but if i sneeze i start with the nose bleed and it takes time to heal again. i think im going to drop the fish oil a few days till my nose bleeds stop.

yeah, thats probably it as far as negatives go. Overall compared to the sides of a lot of the other stuff out there its not bad.

I see, that shouldn't be too bad. It's good for the joints as well right?

yeah, i'm getting very nice elbow recovery times now, its probably clipped pain time in half, if not less.

When cycling PH/PS, will mega-dosing fish oils have negative effects on the compounds?

[EasyEJL]

I can't think of any reason why, other than possibly from its anti inflammatory effects, but that seems to not effect muscle growth negatively. I think it could be a big plus really in that it would help to keep lipid profiles straighter.

Really I'm not sure whether I personally would take it on a cycle tho, moreso use it during PCT + time off. that way its a bridge kind of, can keep gains going potentially and help fix any cholesterol damage. I'm not sure tho really. It just would seem to be something of a waste to take it with a ph/ps, at least from what results i've gotten so far from fish oil alone.

I see, so its definitely a valuable tool during PCT. Nice!

Might need to try it out in the future.

On Sept 2 at 199lbs, I started taking in 30+ g of fish oil a day.

Did you have to take a second mortgage out on your house to afford that much?

What type of fish oil do you take?

[thewilman]

E, what do your macros look like? How far above maintenance are your cals?
