Yeah, I got offered that as an option. Except over here it costs the same as a CPAP without any guarantee it would work so I just went with the CPAP.

Extra workout
4x25 prisoner squats
I figure since I wont be doing conditioning during peak, I can add another extra workout to bring it to three. Prisoner squats seem like an obvious choice because they’ll keep everything nice and loose.

Great news getting out of meds Mark. Amazing that it all got fixed by getting your sleep fixed.
I’ll bet your lifts all improved a lot, just by getting better sleep.

I started wrapping from 385 lbs (third set), all six revolutions but increasing the pre stretch and how hard I cranked down. I’m still figuring out and breaking in the Phantoms but they continue to deliver.
Tried hard to make these fast.
Pause squat for three seconds
4x3x325 lbs
Air squats with broomstick
100 - 4x25
An hour and 10 minutes - as usual, I need to get out of the hasty mindset. Plus I told Mrs KO I’d pick her up from work, and a gentleman does not keep a lady waiting.

Looked pretty speedy and smooth man.
Didn’t see you looking directly at the ground though, so not sure they count as reps

So today I’ve had a good dose of hayfever. I keep sneezing and my nose is runny as fuck.
Where else would I look? That’s where the mirrors are.
Bad luck on the hayfever man, is that normal for you?

Yeah, any time we get a big blow of wind through Canberra there’s a fair chance I cop this bullshit. We had a fucking huge storm come through today, so…
Squats moved quickly mate. I am feeling some really good numbers to come soon.

Yer those bench were real nice. Just a question @MarkKO, it may be the camera angle but is your grip fault narrow for those bench presses? Is that your normal grip or narrower for a reason ?

That’s my standard grip, thumb’s length from the rings @simo74. Any wider and I lose power and stability.
@dagill2 thanks man.

Fair enough, I also keep mine a little narrower because that’s where it feels right. And because of my amazing tricep power lmao !!
