They can help you lean out.

are there any benefits? It's ridiculous how important fish oils are for you. A very underrated supplement but probably the most important. Honestly. Fish oils help help reduce inflammation which is what happens everytime you work out. So better recovery. One of the best sources of omegas around, help you burn fat. They help brain activity. The list goes on and on... if anyone is interested i'll post a few links...

well, I'm too lazy to look for more, but i've read dozens of articles and have had a few of my strength and conditioning coaches explain it to me as well. Read that one article, it pretty much sums it up!!

Fish oil kinda goes like this. I never take under 6 grams with a meal. Other good oils are flax (But have read this increases estrogen), olive oils. Some other good fats are peanuts, walnuts, and almonds (esily my favorite!), just to name a few. These are very important, especially during cutting stages, they help preserve muscle tissue.
