    taking a break.

    ahhh the joys of getting older.

    nursing two hip replacements and increasingly severe arthritis in knee and shoulder. have cat scan for shoulder to check glenum size - if it's already too small, it's too late for a shoulder replacement. heads up for those of you with shoulder arthritis - pain is an insufficient criteria for replacement. check glenum size via cat scan to see if such is still an option.

    also, just finished the best cycle of my life and doubled my bench from 6@315 to 12@315. put on 20 good pounds (225 to 245) in 3 months. felt strong as an ox and had the gorilla gut to go with it. alas, my wife thought i was too big and offers incentives (;-)) if i cut back to 225. let the cutting begin. at least once in my life i was lifting big boy weights! haha.

    all that, and i've been snoring so much that i have to sleep in another room (to preserve the marriage). i was diagnosed with a deviated septum and had the surgery yesterday. i'm now looking at two weeks of no gym (and no sex). OMG, how am i going to survive?!?

    the only upside is that my joints will get a break.

    no worries, though... i'll be back.

    Thats a killer bro, rest up and recover.
    Adjust the scales and tell the wife you're back at 225. You think its the extra weight making you snore?

    hi krugger. yes, i do think the extra weight contributes.

    i'm learning more about snoring/sleep apnea and weight (fat and muscle) can contribute. as a further contributor, i'm also constantly congested, and have been for over a year now. some of this is pollen/mold allergy, but i also think i have food sensitivities to casein protein. it's still too early for me to be sure, but my congestion has been better since i've stopped greek yogurt and nightly casein shakes.

    Glad to hear it brother.

    Was it the Cialis contributing to the snoring? I hadnt considered it until Ghetto mentioned it, but I get exactly those symptoms on C or V, guess thats the nature of the compound though.

    not sure yet, but possible. i haven't started cialis post surgery, i'm less congested and my wife is reporting i'm not snoring as much. but i've also changed an important part of my diet - when i stopped cialis, i also stopped greek yogurt and casein protein. at some point, i'll restart the casein and see what happens (i pay for cialis out of pocket, and if it's causing congestion, i'll drop it in a heartbeat).

    Both CIALIS and VIAGRA give me some congestion. I notice it within in an hour or two of taking it. That could be a culprit causing you some issues.

    years of lifting/playing sports and my family is pre-disposed to arthritis.

    i've stopped cialis and currently seeing if i have food sensitivities specifically to dairy and eggs. i'll know more in a month.

    for now, my snoring is GREATLY improved.
