Fish oil and zink are probably the best supplements you can take, but I wouldn't spend my money on it. As far as I'm concerned especially protein supplementation is a waste of money and just marketing.
At least that's my take on it. You don't really know what's in it, it lacks fiber, it costs a lot of money etc etc. Just healthy food is definitely the best way to go. The only supplement I do take every now and then is green tea, but that's about it.
I would take that stuff with a grain of salt. It seems like everything is linked to cancer these days :-S
I posted this in the nutrition thread about a week ago and didn't get much discussion - I dunno, apparently the correlation is there but I don't buy it.

So, my first concern is that the demonstrated correlation is between blood levels of O3s and cancer - but there's no satisfactory link between intake of O3s and cancer, or even intake of O3s and blood levels of O3s.
Second concern is that there's no indication of the possibility of differing O3 profiles, % EPA %DPA %DHA, which might lend more insight into a mechanism.
Last concern is that it seems to be an observational study rather than interventional. Although this doesn't automatically invalidate the correlation.

Thoughts?
Here's Michael Savage (Ph.D. in epidemiology and nutrition from Cal Berkeley) with guest Anthony Victor D’Amico (MD from Harvard, Ph.D. from MIT, specializes in prostate cancer), calling this study crap, and listing the reasons why:
Apparently they didn't adjust for all of the other risk factors for prostate cancer in the study, like being overweight, age, race, duration of exposure to fish oil, etc...
Regardless of what you think of his political views, they have the credentials to weigh in on this, and after listening I tend to agree with them. I mean, if fish oil causes prostate cancer, then someone needs to explain fish being a staple diet of a huge part of the world's population for about as long as we've had civilization.
Now, I'm about to eat salmon for dinner and pop my daily fish oil pills lol.

If you catch me on any of the Big 4 before July 4, 2014, you can pick my signature at the bottom of all of my posts for a year. If you don't catch me, no penalty. This is just for fun and to achieve massive gainz.
Rules:
1) When you think you have caught me, you must post a video of the lift to this thread.
2) If you post a video, I have one week to post a response video where I must beat your lift.
3) "Gym PR" rules apply, and by that I mean we're not gonna hold to IPF standards but it must be a somewhat reasonable attempt (bar touches chest on the presses, squat at least below parallel, Deadlift locked out with minimal hitching etc...). Any dispute can be settled via poll in this thread.
How's that sound?
To start it off here is my lift from today: deadlift 530lbs at 191.5lbs (weighed this morning).

Looked easy though, nice lift! (beat my best by 5lbs)
T_T Yeah. I injured my forearms when I first started working out and didn't want to take time off. The supplement store guy recommended I use straps and the rest is history. I've been playing catch-up with my forearms by going to failure (for my forearms) before putting on my straps.
Snatch feels like I might get beyond baby weights someday, which is an improvement (if only mental) over last week. CJ was kinda crappy when it's usually the better of the two for me, maybe just an off day. No more 1RM hunting on OHP for a while, it's just vanity that wastes my training time, even though it feels soooo close. I'll come back in about a month or so and crush it. Front squats was too light, but my training partner today was new to it so I just chalked it up as speed/technique work.
Sots press was surprisingly fun! First time doing the lift, and before I figured out how to line up everything I couldn't even move the bar off of my back lol.
Rofl sots press is so hard. Are you doing crossfit and weightlifting?
Last training before nats snatch - 40 50 70 80 80 90 90 100 100x (sigh) 100 110 CJ up to 70 then clean 90 100 120 130 140 Bunch of stretching and foam rolling
Everything felt good technique wise. Now time to crush some PRs on friday without tearing my shoulders up T_T

Nah, another one of my training partners is a crossfit trainer, so he's always trying to talk me into stupid shit lol. I gave crossfit style training (doing a random WOD every day I could) a good solid 6 months and decided it's just not for me.
I stick to straight powerlifting with weightlifting mixed in as a secondary goal. I'll post my weekly programming later on just incase anyone is interested.

I'm pulling for you man! I'll try to catch the live stream, which classification are you in?
I'm in the 105/105+ B session tomorrow afternoon. Last i saw it was at 4 but that might have changed. USAW still doesnt have a fucking updated start list with times and shit that i can find.
bench press up to 315 then added sling shot: 365-2-2-2 strict press: 165-6-6-6 drop set curls
Wednesday:
Yoke walk: 660 for 75 feet twice had tires planned but it rained so we did some cardio rotating from box jumps 1 min, 600lb tire 1 min, sledge hammer 1 min, jogging 1 min. (2 cycles no breaks)

everything was done in the rain so tire had to be light, I think mostly everyone in this thread could handle a 600lb tire pretty easily. looks more like a crossfit thing lol.
keeping things light Push press: 225-3-3-3 strict press: 165-6-6-6 pullups 1 set of 6 at 265lbs
Stones, farmers, axle and truck pull tomorrow. shits gonna be sore monday
new lifetime PR for me: 100kgx1 bench! last time I benched this heavy (97.5kg back then) was right when I "injured" my left arm. since then i've always been having pain when I bench so I never thought I could reach that weight again.. it still hurt but damn it was worth it
EPT
How about this:
