CPAP update please.

was also thinking this

cliffs:

-got machine

-returned machine to get pressure turned up

-returned again, still not enough pressure

-new pressure makes mask leak, change mask

-new mask works, now blood nose

-return for diff type of machine (humidified)

-still blood/dried nose, turns out new machine faulty

- new new machine, works, no more blood noses

- no longer feel like sleeping 24/7

life cliffs:

- didnt train for about 3 weeks, no motivation

- still havent sorted knee due to being a useless c*nt

- back into training now, but been directionless

today i deadlifted for the first time in a few months. struggled to get up a 180, failed a 190 below knees :? . last time i DL'ed i pulled 220 :? :? :? . putting it down to lack of training, and major lack of leg strength. definite wake up call. i have 2 options here:

- sell my lifting gear,cry.

- sort my shit out and get back on track

im going to do the latter. Back into structured training (will discuss this with the beast). back into cleaner consistent eats. back into PB's.

got blood results back today.

cholesterol - slightly high

thyroid - normal

test - normal range, but low (same as last test)

seems my natty test just sits at the lower end of the scale. If my suspicions are correct, my free test is likely low, or marginal (ie shbg is high). interdasting.

plan on having a fuckaround with diet, try something new. The WPI/WPC debate has inspired me to do an experiment. truth be told, the reason for my slightly high ldl is excess dairy/red meat in diet. I been pounding back a fair amount of dairy daily for a long time......

cost comparisons

doing some basic comparisons. using prices from countdown online store, though my local prices are higher i am sure lol. prices generated are per 100g of protein. my main sources of protein are milk,tuna and steak.

tuna in oil - $8.57 per 100g protein

milk.calcitrim - $4.13 per 100g protein

steak - average cost is 17/kg. 500g steak cooked and trimmed would be maybe 400g cooked weight, giving 100g protein (roughly) so steak turns out at $8.50 per 100g protein

cheapest WPI available through retail is just over $60 a kilo.

davis trading i can get WPI for $39.10 per kilo, delivered.

so WPI= 4.34 per 100g protein (need about 110g WPI for 100pro)

gonna try a WPI based diet. carb source will be mainly oats, fruit and wholegrain toast for now. will aim for 250g daily of protein from WPI.

should be interdasting.

ps - Davis WPI is a great price, but damn 20kgs is a fair whack!

Have a read of this bro. Very similar to the diet your talking about but with this your having a overfeed at night. Kind of like IF except you will be fasting on shakes lol

I really do admire your analytical approach to this. And you've always been one to give it a crack....good on ya...will be interested to see the results. When will you do more bloods for cholesterol etc?

[startinfromscratch]

still easing back into it. how far i have fallen....

bench

up to 90x1

2bd

90x5.3sets

incline db press

3x10

not sure how im gonna resolve the issue of having shit test levels. docs never willing to help despite the fact i could double my test levels and still be in the normal range! fucking asshats.

next training will be squats, which im relearning.

today was some squatting, not so much a squat train as a tech train, as im trying to completely change styles. i take vid every week for assesment, frustratingly slow progress though. As most know up to now i pretty much squat oly, fairly high bar, deep as but with alot of knee travel. This way always garuntees depth is beyond question, by just 'dropping in' once the hips are back. things im trying to change are:

* slowing down descent

* wider/spreading knees

*lower bar position

* closer grip on bar/ elbows under (shoulder flexi issue)

so far it seems slowing down the movement hasnt reduced my knee travel. slowing things down so i can try to judge depth instead of just burying it should bring my numbers up longterm - but hard getting used to squatting without that pop off the calves lol. so did a series of singles up to 140 for vid, and then 5x10 sldl and 5x5 pullthroughs....

[startinfromscratch]

low test=low recovery, sucks. hammys were still sore last friday from monday, and they were still sore today from friday. need moar test lol. atm just trying ti progress linear while im geting back into it, ie beat last week till i stall.

body must be readjusting now. Still waiting on bands from liftinglarge, even given my locale i thought theyd be here by now, shipped on the 6th december....

also boardwork solo is annoying. i use a rangi setup using bungeecords around torso to hold the boards, but impossible to get board in good position, so just making do here for now. may invest a little $$ in a better solo board setup.

Nice preparation of angus there young chap ~

Perhaps you could consume more whole foods throughout the day since your body will process protein powders very quickly. Could have for example 4-5 whole meals and 2 shakes (pre/post w.o)
