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 
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?

Made up for missing Triceps and its a sleeve-busting gun show up in here.
Did the sun come out for the guns, or did the guns come out for the sun? We may never know.
I was formally introduced to my brachialis veins on both sides; we’re homies now.
CPAP worn for 3h 45m last night. Heating the air up to 68 helped. Raised min pressure from 7 to 8 w/ max of 12. Still pretty sure i need to get a differemt mask, but this specimen is getting it done for now.

I took like 2 weeks off. Was feeling burnt out as all hell. No motivation, dedication, drive, energy… you get the picture. Stayed on diet the first week, reverse dieted second week.
I couldn’t understand why my motivation was in the shitter. Not just for the gym - but for everything.
Then i spoke with an old friend who works 2 full time jobs and never misses a day.
I asked him how he does it.
“I feel better when my plate is full” he said.
… well if that doesn’t sound familiar.
No school, no debt, no marriage problems, no identity crisis… my plate has been too empty to want to eat.
So I fixed that.
New program.
New diet.
New classes.
New goals.
New wife (joking).
New program (pull, push, legs, off, push, pull, off, repeat).
Similar to my last one, but different. I’m rehabbing my knees and i care a lot more about upper body mass than legs… my quads are juicy enough as is. Extra ham and glute work.
New Diet Carb Cycling
I just don’t have faith in sustained deficit diets. 1400cals daily deficit and losing 1lb per week? Something isnt right (i imagine this is T4>Reverse T3 conversion onset by the strict diet without breaks).

My resume is making it to review at least, but I’m not getting callbacks… meaning I’m not competitive. This is the best cert for me to make my resume stand out.
I think i can get read up on it enough to pass in a few weeks.
All i need is the interview. I can crush it from there.
New Goals
Pretty much only hedonistic at this point, but i want to learn to ride a motorcycle. Meaning I’ll need to buy a motorcycle too.
Save up ~3k and buy one.
Yesterday: legs
Today: arms and shoulders (off program)
