Indeed, that's what i do - buy bottled fish oil/flax oil. Also supplement on monounsaturated acids - extra virgin olive oil (cheap as hell!)
as far as dextrose - given that's its utilized primarily to cease secretion of cortisol, it is only natural to include it after training to promote anabolism and warrant muscle wasting. I'd use around 40g's just to get the necessary effect. To replenish muscle glycogen I'd simply eat oatmeal an hour later.
As far as protein (whey) sources also look into www.allthewhey.com - they don't have combo's like pfactory and customizer but they sell very cheap Isolate - excellent post-workout food.
On a side note: why running in the AM especially on empty stomach given you're embarking on a bulking cycle. I foresee muscle loss here. If you want ward off fat, keep your diet clean; if you're after cardiovascular health then I would opt for fat+protein meal - great for endurance (gluconeogenesis).
peace!

I have to run in the mornings because I have a pending job requirement of getting my 5k as close to 18 minutes as possible, plus a whole lot of running to come after that. I need to have a good, strong cardiovascular system and don't see that it has to mean I can't also get stronger, especially when I initialize the use of AS.
I will take your advice on gluconeogenisis - should I eat before or after I go running? In the past I've done a protien chug with some creatine about 30 mins before I hit the track.
BTW juve - I would give you karma now but I am all out.

I'm and endurance athlete myself, too - cover more distance than marathoners.
You should definately consume p+f meal BEFORE cardio, an hour or so(if that's an option for you). Creatine has been shown to not increase cardio performance in clinical studies and is indeed touted as detrimental among athletes due to increased water weight. I would only take it post.. Glycerol on the other hand greatly helps with endurance - so I use that sometimes.
By the way numerous studies showed that a drink with a mix of simple+complex (in the amount of 8-12g's per 8oz drink) carbs along with electrolites (specifically, Mg and K) consumed during endurance training significantly increases endurance and overall performance.
also if you have upcoming BIG endurance events (5 miles +) opt for carbo loading..for 5k especially in 18 mins pro+fat would be optimal

it's all good bro..

Version 1a_onday of the Synpax Diet.
What you see below is oatmeal with a little protein at the bottom, flax seed oil and oatmeal, and protein (Pro Complex). 2971 calories. All of tomorrow's food (plus a gallon of water):
Upcoming revisions include adding dextrose (ordered a 50lbs bag online), getting a better and less expensive protein from proteinfactory or another online reseller, and using fish oil pills as part of the protein source (5 a day or so).

You're the first person that I have seen post a pic of their diet food - amazing and it looks good.
Don't worry too much about the little details, first try the diet and then we can workout the small problems that can arise - second guessing outcomes is not the way to go when we are not sure how you'll respond.

Ok - fatal flaw #1. I did a hard run this morning and then did a really hard workot in the gym this afternoon. Anyway I wasn't feeling well when I got back to the office and then noticed the peanuts on the receptionists desk, and it occured to me -
I AM GETTING NO SODIUM.
So... I figure I'm going to mix the salt with the oats. It's funny I forgot this becuase I recently asked a quesiton about sodium on this message board.
Also, the protein tastes terrible. Not the protein itself but the vanilla flavoring. Not as bad as the choco flavor I've had before. I'm going to order from protein factory something with no sweetener or flavoring.
