Well, I don't think that's my problem. My knee thing has honestly seemed really arbitrary. There has been nights where I can grind out 5 reps and they feel great, then another night they start up while I"m still squatting just the bar, and in between. Although, as I said in another post, since I've been trying some stretches and stuff, it's still arbitrary like that, but definitely less frequent. Could lovely shoes be the culprit? I mean I'm on my feet way more than most people ,and some nights, like tonight, I spent a fair amount of time moving and turning around carrying 30 lb coils. The reason I ask is either way, they are lovely shoes because they have chafed and callused the poo poo out of my heels, so I'm getting a new pair soon, either way. Another thing to test out, I may try going to the gym when I wake up, instead of after a 10 hour shift, but getting up early is harder for me than working out after a long shift. I'm trying to think of a time my knees ever hurt when I lifted on an off day, and I can't think of one.

lovely shoes can DEFINITELY do that to you. If you're on your feet you need to make sure you have good shoes, and even get good gel insoles.

I remember when I started up a 10-hour shift machine operator job, after a couple weeks I was in AGONY whenever I had weight on my feet - until I got good work boots and gel insoles.

3 years and a geotech/environmental job late (some 12 hour shifts, on the feet, etc) - I have never regretted paying extra for good boots and good insoles.

Hey guys I just turned 30 and was diagnosed with a tracking issue and arthritis in my knees. My doctor is cool and knows that I am basically already dead at this point so he gave me some cortisone and knee braces so I can squat in hell. Pr'd my squat a couple times since then so Hail satan, etc.

I was thinking about consuming the rest of my calories via this Stone 6th Anni Porter, but ... the urge for a carne asada burrito (would be my 2nd in 2 days) is ... strong.

Ed: My other option is peppered salami. Er, salame. Whatever.

I have embraced the autism in order to stop looking like a fat gently caress. After trial and error I discovered that I can eat like 1000 calories less than my usual if I eat very little (about 100 calories) in the morning and eat larger and larger meals at set intervals until I eat my largest meal (800) about 1 hour before bedtime.

Treating eating like a spreadsheet is a tried and true winner for a lot of people. Start with your calories figured out and fit food into it with an eye towards maximizing your happiness and the business mantra of "you can't manage what you can't measure".
