Is FishOil really a neccesity for bulking?

[squale]

I have never taken any fishoil but I keep reading that it's good to add into your diet. I am trying to get bigger, maybe add another 20lbs. I'm 28 years old, 6'2", 190lbs.. I am taking Creatine, Protein bars, Multivitamin. Does FishOil actually help build muscle?

well today I went to walmart and bought myself a couple bottles of 1000mg FishOil pills.. how many pills should I take a day? the bottle just says the serving size is 1 pill at 1000mg. I think they are made by Nature's Best or something like that.

Yes, but not in an immediately noticabable kind of way.
There is an enormous amount of research the touts the positive effects of fish oil supplementation on heart health. Keeping your cardiovascular system healthy should be a priority of anyone that wants to move some heavy ass weight around, therefore fish oil should be a priority in the your supplement selection.

Agreed. Walking around at 290+ probably isn't the healthiest thing in the world, so I try to structure my diet to remain as healthy as possible. Fish oil can be and important part of a healthy overall diet. I usually take 6-10 grams per day.

I have read alot about Fish Oil and always try to get my friends to take it, I take 8-14 caps per day every day.
Can't say for sure if it has helped with strength and size but since taking it along with Zinc and a good multi (and of course protein powder) I have been pretty consistent in my gains.

2-8 grams spread out daily of Omega 3 fish oil.

Take enough to get 3g of the active ingredient. For what I use that is ~10 caps.
