I'm still wonder if I am doing the right thing. I LOVE to squat, but I do notice my problem knee feeling uncomfortable. Not pain, but uncomfortable. Worried it is the meniscus and I am asking for trouble. You know if I go to a specialist they will just tell me to stop, or 'go lighter'. What to do, what to do.

Only you know how uncomfortable the pain is. If it makes everyday activity difficult, I'd go with the "go lighter" rather than stop altogether. But that's just stubborn old me.

275 is light enough .

Brother JD, excellent w/o!!! What kind of stance do you use??? Do you wrap your knees??? Just curious, maybe a slight switch in stance might help, just my 2 cents my Friend!!!

In the past I used a wide stance, and I think that is what caused my initial problem. Now I am very narrow, which is better. I do not wrap my knees. Maybe I'll give that a try.

BW: 223. Not right now though. Had a premature 4th of July cookout with my family since the holiday hits in the middle of the week. Had 3 hotdogs, 2 hamburgers, 5 deviled eggs, cheese, a little pasta salad, and several lite beers. I did skip on bread, condiments, taco salad dip, chips, cake, ice cream, and potato salad. So overall, I did good!

Haha....3 hotdogs! Gotta have some light beer though!

Yeah right! . YOU are a STUD, I am a lightweight. But thanks for the kind words Arch . (and I don't mean that in a homosexual way, not that there is anything wrong with that, haha)

I think most rack pulls are done at knee height. These where lower. The plates were 6-8" off the floor, and the bar about 5" below my knees. Kind of an awkward place to start. Almost seemed harder in a way, but I got 405, regular dead I've been missing.

Thanks BB. I think my exercise selection gets mundane, but I really do make an effort to change sets and reps, week to week.
