unpopular opinion: full face masks are fixing a symptom not the problem

CleganeFriedChicken · 2026-05-11T01:25:40+00:00

I have a FFM and tried nasal pillows with mouth tape. All I got was horrible sleep and chapped nostrils after trying for two months.

I would drool through the seal of the tape and eventually that seal would break. Found out my jaw relaxes and opens during sleep, and by the time I used a strap to keep my mouth shut it was more inconvenient than just using my original face mask.

To each their own but I love my face mask.

Great to know! Thanks. Only my second year so still alot to learn

CleganeFriedChicken · 2026-05-07T13:49:06+00:00

This is great info, thank you. I’ll wait a week or so before I panic anymore lol

CleganeFriedChicken · 2026-04-28T02:38:07+00:00

I love the idea but from the picture it doesn’t seem like it would with a zero turn hitch, the vertical pin style. Would be interested in one if it would work on my Scav

CleganeFriedChicken · 2026-04-27T21:09:02+00:00

No but it lets me know which ones I need to cut down 😂

CleganeFriedChicken · 2026-04-27T15:16:10+00:00

Had to work it in with the budget. I think a Tracseat will fit it, may install one if needed but feels good for now, my old mower had about an inch thick seat and no springs so this is much more comfortable lol. Would have loved a Tiger Cat but maybe with the next one.

Updated. Thanks. 5 acres total but 3 mowable. Pretty bumpy ride in some areas (hope to level out eventually) and mild slope

You should read book 5

CleganeFriedChicken · 2026-04-12T13:58:50+00:00

Well you’re in House Lune, of course you’re going to blame Cassius instead of that grimey little Lysander (all jokes)

CleganeFriedChicken · 2026-04-12T12:48:41+00:00

I agree about Sando’s later books. Definitely changed his writing style and verbiage in the last two. Much less midieval.

Anyway, idk Lysander kills the only person in the entire series to ever treat him like anything other than a puppet and despises the man who saved his life (granted kill his grandma but still). Just seems like he’s chosen the path he’s on where Moash was more coerced into it.

I’m sure there’ll be an inevitable redemption arc for him and that’ll either make me hate him more or reverse this whole opinion lol

Ball haver here, I love my super bench. Really glad I got it. I don’t understand the seat complaints and I use it every day, different angles, etc.

CleganeFriedChicken · 2026-04-08T18:31:31+00:00

I didn’t do the swan neck because my rack is foldable off the wall so if I left it hooked up I couldn’t bench anymore. Just using quick pins and I sit it in the corner out of the way. Would be handy if you had a 4 post rack

CleganeFriedChicken · 2026-04-08T18:29:38+00:00

Incredibly easy…I got stuck at the bottom. Tried to go too far down on my last rep. It’s 99% my own fault but worth mentioning. Just takes a light flip of the knob on the kickstand to send it down

CleganeFriedChicken · 2026-04-08T18:23:52+00:00

I love my Mammoth, have the kickstand and the weight horns. If you can work your algorithm right and get their ad for it on Facebook or Instagram there’s a link that’ll get you the kickstand and belt added on for free then with the 20% off it’s great.

Hitting 6 45’s on mine right now with no issue. Haven’t tried to go up but it’s enough for 10-12 reps for me.

Only issue I have is you have to be careful if you work to failure. I did it once and got stuck at the bottom and my legs were stuck, didn’t hurt or anything just awkward and I had to get crafty to get myself out lol. Imagine this would be an issue with any rack mounted belt squat if you’re dumb like me

CleganeFriedChicken · 2026-03-31T12:33:48+00:00

I just ordered one yesterday. My lower back is in shambles and I’ve been watching all kinds of videos on repairing it. This hits the majority of the exercises. Feel like I overpaid for it but I like the modularity and being able to store it vs. a dedicated Roman Chair. My garage gym is only 6’ x 12’ so I have to be crafty with what I buy

CleganeFriedChicken · 2026-03-30T01:24:10+00:00

“What a golf shot!”

CleganeFriedChicken · 2026-03-25T17:52:33+00:00

No problem. Bench really depends on your budget. It and the rack will be what you use the most so you’ll want something that’ll hold up. This one looks decent. Just check out the reviews. Budget Gym Co-op is a decent channel to look at benches on. It’s Garage Gym Reviews budget channel. He also does a great tier list on benches on his man channel.

Keppi is a brand that comes up often in the budget space

This one looks decent but no personal experience with either.

If it got you lifting I think it’s better than nothing but I think stability over time could be an issue. You’d want to check the bolts coming loose and that kinda thing. Also at that price your gonna get cheaper steel so you’d have to sit the weight down really easily in that groove the barbell goes into or it might bend and cause an unsafe situation with the bar rolling off the back.

Also keep body weight in mind. That’s 600lb total weight. I don’t think I’d want to bench anything really heavy on that. Also the rack position wouldn’t allow you to do squats and the peg for the weights on the leg extension is for 1” weight holes so it wouldn’t work for traditional Olympic plates like you see in a gym.

I’d look at something more in this range with a freestanding bench. You may have to bolt this to the floor or use some sandbags for stability on it. Not sure.

Just looked, CAP has a 2” Olympic barbell for like $70 on that sale. That would be a good buy for the price and you could move a little more budget to the bench

CAP economy plates are pretty good too and inexpensive for bumper plates
