Got me some Flaxseed oil

Today I picked up 1000 mg flaxseed oil tabs.
Which typically contains:
Alpha-Linolenic acid (omega-3) Linolic Acid (omega-6) Oleic Acid (omega-9) And Other Fatty Acids
I use this as a weightlifting supplement as to consistently intake all essential fats.
I never tried it before.
Has anyone used it?

Flax oil can do rancid very quickly. Keep those tabs in the fridge, and check to see if they have gone rancid. Really you should get a bottle and keep it in the fridge, then you know if it has gone bad.
Flax oil isn't the best imo, I prefer just eating fish/hemp seeds/chia seeds. Also lots of whole yogurt, bacon, eggs etc for essential animal fats.

He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest -- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely but striving for such achievement is, in itself, a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security." Albert Einstein

I have flax seeds, and I mix them in my smoothies sometimes. Definite fridge food as cannashroom mentioned. Personally I think there are some better sources of Omega-3; Hemp seed/oil and chia seeds mostly. Both of which are actual foods, and IMO foods with nutrients are more important then pills w/ nutrients.
Whats the layout of weightlifting program you got going on now?

I've taken flax for a couple years now. Fish oil is supposedly a little better on the fatty acids, but flax has lignans which is an antioxidant and cancer preventative. But to be honestly the only reason I stick with flax over fish oil is the taste. Flax is yummy, fish oil....not so much

What exactly are these fatty acids supposed to do for me? All I have come to know is that they are essential for muscle building.
But.... WHY?

I haven't heard anything about fatty acids and building muscle. If you wana build muscle just buy some whey protein, I gained like 30 lbs in college from taking that and working out all the time. Omega-3 fatty acids are mainly beneficial to heart and brain health.
