Tough to complain at this point honestly.
Weight is dropping, which is a goal at the moment. Most of which is fat as far as I can tell in the mirror and how my clothes are fitting. This is in spite of some pretty bad binges during the process.
Currently I don't value "high" weight room numbers (which are all relative anyway, compared to most boasted gym numbers my bests are just average for most lifts anyway). No motivation to push that hard, though I do enjoy lifting when I am there.
I have been doing that "Easier Strength" method by Dan Hall that you mentioned a while ago, though modified a bit. I do a push, pull, squat, and pullup (he says farmers walks) and follow the various set/reps he called out. Heaviest squat I have done is a 155 lb front squat (single), which didn't bother my knee at all. I will admit, that one was a bit of a struggle, even though I wasn't supposed to struggle with the rep.. but the struggle wasn't with the typical "squat muscle chain".. it was in my upper back from trying to support the weight (I suck at front squats due to this).
It's nice though.. workouts are fast. I had planned on 10 weeks at 4 workouts a week. That is now looking like 2 workouts a week though. Will probably stick with the planned 40 workouts.
