Yeah, I enjoyed that brief period too. Then she had a particularly difficult delivery (24+ hours) followed by an emergency c-section. The doors have been mostly closed since then, going on 2 years now. But the last 6 weeks or so is the longest dry spell we've had. I'm not even sure if it's been 6 weeks or longer. It was bad enough when we were only doing it once or twice per month. But this is getting ridiculous. I shouldn't have to beg, right???? A married man should not have to beg for it!!!! That's not in the contract!
On a more relevant note, I've upped my fish oil dosage to about 3600 mg of dha and epa per day. It's 12 1000mg pills per day, but that includes a combined 300mg of epa and dha. So, I just placed an order for some liquid that I can take at home and I'll bring my pills into work to take with lunch. Then I'll be able to get into the mega-dosing range and see how it works.

yeah, try to get into the 2+g of dha, I think thats the important piece, moreso than epa. not 100% sure tho. plus anecdotal evidence seems to show that liquids work far better than caps.
206lbs today, so weight is streaming off as fast as it piled on. I feel leaner than I can recall
Sounds silly, but just how my body moves going up and down stairs (subtracting the thigh soreness from GBC) and that sort of thing, I feel thinner.
I added bulk tyrosine into the mix as well, 1tsp (around 1.2g) 3x daily. I tell ya, that seems to be a better nootropic than anything else i've taken. I feel more focused mentally.
No cardio today, probably none tomorrow. my thigs have been sore since wed, so I want to give them fair chance to relax. I probably shouldn't have done heavy cardio thursday. I may skip cardio entirely for next week, and save that as the "bringing in the big guns" for the tail end of the contest. After all with 3 days working out, I can manage to tack an extra 200 cal worth of quick post wo cardio to each of those, and maybe 700 cal worth on each off day to drop another whole pound each of the last 2 weeks. We'll see where the initial keto phase lands me by next sunday before we decide. No sense burning myself out tho, its a marathon, not a sprint

206 today. So in 7 days, 7 lbs down. wheeeeew. Lets see wha the second week brings. Definitely noticeably leaner too. Even vascularity is up some, and thats somewhat unusual with no glycogen in bloodstream. I'm in medium to large ketosis by strips now for 2 days, so glycogen is alll gone for sure. my hands have all sorts of veins starting to creep out I don't remember the last time I've seen.

minor update, but very interesting to anyone doing this - I guess i've adapted to the fish oil completely! The feeling of oily skin + greasy hair has pretty much faded entirely. Its been lessening somewhat over time, but its been gradual enough I didn't quite realize it. But today I really noticed, my skin is back to feeling the way it did pre-fish oil, and i'm still taking 40-45g a day.

No, basically 200ml = 200g. its 30-45g of fish oil, not of omega-3s. So the 200ml bottle would last 6 days @ 30g. Basically 3 tbsp a day, and each tbsp = 3 tsp

ha, i just figured that out after I left the thread.

Suprisingly enough I've noticed less in-grown hairs and random facial acne that pops up once in awhile since I've been on the regiment. One would think more oily skin would lead to greater skin flare-ups...

It was getting pretty bad for me at one point. I told my wife I am willing to do what I have to do but you have to live up to your God given role / agreement. I should not have to beg for it and I am going to get it one way or another, I love you, please love me back. We had some intense conversations and things got a little better. This is most likely still the reason why I have major callous on my hands

Usually with meals, but sometimes no.. You think that could be why? Or maybe my body just needs a little time to get used to all the extra fat? Cuz I usually keep up a pretty lowfat diet.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one struggling with marital relations! We had it out on Sunday and basically she's blaming a hormone shift and is going to see her doctor about a different birth control pill. That might help with the b*tchiness, but I'm still waiting for sex and I don't know if a different pill will end that wait. Oh well. At least we're talking now.
Sorry for the thread jack again, Easy!
In fish oil related news, I got my Health From The Sun fish oil yesterday and I'm very happy with the taste, or rather the lack of taste. No fishy smell or anything. A slight orange taste and the obvious oily residue, but it's really easy to take down a teaspoon at a time. I thought the taste was going to be more of a problem. I'll post some more thoughts here after a few days.

I picked up my fish oils today, i'm going to be doing 32g's a day, i'm cutting, only 100g's carbs post-workout only :sad:, so i'll be able to comment on fatloss. I got a 500ml bottle of Nutrasea fishoil the one that Poliquin recommends, looks like i'll be burnin through about 3 bottles a month so i'm looking at $120/month for fishoil. Ya that does seem steep but look at how much we all spend on the newest supps that come out.

doesnt fish oil thin the skin or is that fish? its one of the two. It makes the skin thin.

I dont know if anyone has mentioned this but freezing fish oil stops the burps you get from them. Also when you guys are talking about how much you are taking are you counting each gram as 1 gram of fish oil or are you looking at just the EPA and DHA amounts and adding that up.
beallio
Member
I count total grams of fish oil ingested.
EasyEJL

total grams. I think part of the goal is to reach over 2.5g of DHA in the day, but it may be other parts of the fish oil have value as well.

i have read alot of CP's info on fish oils and he has his athletes take around 30 to 45 grams a day... with most fish oil caps that equals 100 caps a day to get the recommended amount of actual epa and dha. i dont know how concentrated the liquids are but that is dedication right there.

I don't know where you buy or find caps, but most are 1gm...

Compared to how much other supplement **** we put in our body it's not that bad.

The capsules themselves are one gram of oil but the actualy epa/dha is 180/120 mg per capsules. when theses guys are talking in grams there referring to epa/dha not epa/dha plus the glycerine and gelatin that fills the caps too. i usually take ten caps a day to equal 3 grams of functional omega-3's.

Makes sense. If you're looking for fish oil with high levels of epa and dha I believe Biotest has some on the market. NOW does as well I belive.

I'm using Health From the Sun orange flavored liquid fish oil at about a teaspoon and a half, twice per day. It's cheap and the taste is not bad, considering it's fish oil. Way better than taking several dozen pills per day, in my opinion. Although, I do take 4 pills with lunch because it's easier to take the pills at work. Liquid at home with breakfast and dinner.
So if you don't want to cram down that many pills, give it a look. Other guys recommended a few other brands earlier in this thread too, so you can do some comparison shopping.

Honestly, I don't know If I'd be able to stomach the liquid version. I can't stomach flax oil unless it's capped. I'm tempted to try the flavored versions though. Others have also replied with a positive reponse about it.

I had similar reservations about the liquid variety, but I gotta tell you it's no big deal. It doesn't even have a fishy smell. Worth a shot, in my opinion.

Since I am starting an xfactor log next sunday and heavy fish oils are still a nono, i'm stopping megadosing for now. Still want to keep the thread alive to talk about it, as i'm going back to it after the xfactor
Why can't you megadose with XFactor? Has this been covered in another thread?
EasyEJL
Never enough
well, no one is truly sure. but in general, its assumed that the antiinflammatory and cox 1 bindings of fish oil may interfere with x-factor's mechanism for growth. I may do a regular cycle this time, and then in the future do a cycle with megadosed fish oil as a comparison

I am confused on something. If I wanted to take 30 grams of fish oil a day. Lets use the VS brand of fish oil. The label says each teaspoon has 1250 mg of omega 3. So 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon which is 3750 mg. So I would need to take 8 tablespoons (24 teaspoons) to get 30 grams correct? So why do I keep reading that 3 tablespoons = 30 grams. Or am I not understanding something. Thanks.
