all healthy fats from oils are good for gaining mass, whether it's olive, flaxseed, fish, or just some eggs.
Barry Bonds said on national tv that he thought his trainer was giving him FlaxOil, so if it worked for him anything is possible :rolleyes:

shoot me up with some flax seed oil yo
EAT MORE FOOD, lean beef, chicken, oats, natty PB, eggs etc you will gain muscle, weight, mass
i do not think its essential. mostly for good fats i just eat some pb and have no problem putting on weight and/or muscle mass. i dont find a diff in natty pb compared to reg. they both have the same amount of fat and saturated last time i checked.
Its great you'll wear a size 8 cap, and hit HR's....

Yes, it is true, but fish oil is the more popular option. EFA's (Essential Fatty Acid's) are very important for gaining mass.

i have to completely disagree. i stopped taking efa pills over a year ago and im actually gaining way more mass than i did even when taking them.

my statement is specifically on the body's need for EFA's. whether you supplement them or get them through your diet.
u do need some but i have gone out of my way to get efa's and have not seen a diffenrce in anyway. btw u say u do need them to gain muscle mass which i disagree with.

True story food is the most important part of bodybuilding followed by proper rest, then a good workout program an hard traing... supps come in a very distant fourth place.

you do need EFA's (whether through diet or supplements) to gain muscle mass. they play many roles in the body, many of which contribute to the building of muscle mass.

completely agree with u. i only went up and down 5lbs or so for over a year and now im gaining weight like im on roids without taking in much efa's at all

I'm not commenting on HOW MUCH you need. I'm saying that they are necessary though. Try consuming aboslutely NO EFA's and let me know how it goes for you.

at one time on this board it was a sin if you didn't take fishoil, so i jumped on the bandwagon and the whole time i was going in circles getting no where.
i will agree it does help dramatically for lubing joints, because when i came off my joints started popping again but i didn't gain any size to brag about. i may try this flaxseed because most ppl say it doesn't work as well, but if you look at the stats when ppl says something doesn't work it sometimes works better than what's being talked about.
it is always good to lubricate ur joints though so that is a benefit.
