Missing days which I never do. I need to get my ass in gear. Sleep test was on Thursday. Should be a good one for data. Went to bed at 10:30, woke up 3-4 times just cause, dog needed out at 4:00, back up at about 6:00. Lots of horrible sleep documented haha! I should get the results in a week or so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 June 9, 2016 Afternoon Week 2 squat. Attempted this a couple of days ago and called it quits during my warmups at 315. Not much sleep at all. Last night I had a nice long stretch from 12:30 to 5:15. That made a huge difference. Be nice to get a solid 7-8 sometime soon. This will be a good cycle to teach me to put some weight on my back again. Haven't used more than 75-80% since early this year. Squat 45 x 3 x 3r 135/225 x 3 315 x 2 365 x 1 395 x 8 x 2r Speed Squats - 30s Rests 245 x 6 x 2r GHR x 10, 10, 10, 7 AB Wheel x left for tomorrow. May as well save the DOMS for a day off.

With some treatment you should be feeling like a million bucks! Saw my respirologist today and learned a bunch more. There are a couple types of apnea; obstructive where there's a physical collapse of tissue and non-obstructive where there brain quits telling you to breath. My brain seems to be fighting me the most and CPAP treatment is actually harmful due to the positive air pressure. Brain thinks that everything's good and less messages get sent to breath. So now there's some more testing for my heart, thyroid, kidneys, and liver. Either that or it's Gail holding a pillow over my face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
