Knees felt okay during Sissy Hack Squats, felt like garbage during leg ext. Played it safe. Sissy Hack Squat reps are climbing quickly though, which is the goal.
I think I’ll add weight once reps are getting up into the 50s. Will keep high reps and low weight until knees stop feeling the way they do.

Coach has me moving to 5x weekly training and adding some working sets to quads and pecs to accommodate less frequent training.

Diet is unchanged, need to prioritize sleep quality and quantity. Should probably start using my CPAP again, i just haven’t found a way to make it comfortable. I’m a side/stomach sleeper.

I have to stop giving 90% and start giving 100.

That is all.
Feel free to drop any pointers with respect to CPAP usage and comfortable masks.

I’m using the N2 nasal mask. I find it to be most tolerable. Stomach sleeping may be tough but that would go for any mask. My buddy uses the nasal pillow but it def comes loose. I was just traveling with him and i could hear him start to snore and wake up which in turn woke me up.
I also removed the ramp setting and let it go full throttle right when i put it on. I would have issues where i would wake to piss and when i got back into bed it would take forever to ramp up and it would be hard for me to get air which would keep me up.

Gave up on the beard huh

At this point, the only facial hair i can get away with is a goatee. I’m too blonde for anything else to come in right.

Tbh id rather have a close cropped style on the sides, but that just doesnt work with us master race fellas (joking).

Goatee is doing well, I tell my wife I’m gonna have it styled to look like the Tinder logo, lol. Lucky, i have a fairly prominent jaw line so I dont have to fake it like most bearded dudes do.

I’ll have to make up Triceps. Construction has the traffic pattern so fucked i was an hour behind.

Used my CPAP last night. Felt like i used it for a long time, but it was actually like 95 minutes :roll_eyes:
Will need to mess with it and get a different mask, but it’s going to take some serious getting used to.

I use a similar mask (when I actually put t on), although mine covers my mouth too as I have a tendency to mouth breath. I think tolerable is the best word to describe it. None of the masks are comfortable (I tried lots), but this type stays in place better than some.

Did you try just the nasal? It’s actually keeps my mouth shut. I honestly could not imagine using the mouth/nose. Feel like I would wake up with sweat all around my mouth. My brother in law uses the full one though. Hel “likes” it.

Yer tried lots of just nasal but I have some issues with narrow nasal passages (old injury) and I can’t always breath well through my nose even with the pressure. The full face means I can breath through my mouth but the pressure stops the apneas. It can get a little sweaty on a hot night but its really not that bad.

? I miss something?

Honestly I love mine. Its never bothered me to sleep in and it really helps me fall and stay asleep. The only down side for me is the imprints it leaves on my bald head for like an hour. If I take a nap in the middle of the day I can’t go outside as I look like Freddy Krueger.

I can’t say I love mine but it def benefits me so i can’t imagine not using it. Sleep quality is like night and day.
Which headgear do you use?

Phillips Dreamwear. I look like a Teletubby wearing it. I’m sure it turns my wife on…
