Thanks guys! it's great to be attacking the weights again. i always miss it so much when i cant train!

Eric-
my problem is a calcified bone formation on the top portion of my left kneecap. it sticks up slightly higher than the actual kneecap therefore putting abnormal pressure on the tendons when in the stretched position. the right side is probably the same (though not as severe), but i only had the left one x-rayed.
i am not squatting quite as low as i was before (still below paralell though) and will use a lower intensity range and mostly just play it by ear. I may never be able to squat really heavy but i think i can play around with volume and intensity enough to make the movement useful while avoiding re-injury.
btw, it never bothers me while deadlifting.

Talo- nope, I'm not worried, just a bit bummed about how MUCH i lost in so short a time! I blame almost all of it on my pityful food intake (I lost about 8 lbs!).
