Background - Played football from 8th to 12th grade. Suffered knee injury from weight training when 18 years old. Slacked off through college years, gained fat. Now beginning to train seriously again. The cartilage of the knee still grinds together from time to time, causing pain during long distance running, but surprisingly not during deadlifts or squats unless done in an excessive volume (though still able to be brushed off with good quality knee brace and therapy.) Planning on trying out for a rugby club in several months from now, but that isn’t the driving force of my training. Just strengthening and conditioning my body in general.
