-also i am avoiding any fats for a few hours after the torrent b.c i read that using fats within a certain amount of time of increasing your insulin PWO can lead to fat gains, obviously i am trying to lose fat and increase my LBM

-1 pack of Omegas will be worked into the diet
-Additional creatine in PWO shake
-Beta Alanine
