  Originally ten rounds of two, but I was feeling pretty good, so I decided to just keep raising weight. I could have gone higher, but the weight area at Gold's is so small that it's not really safe to dump weight behind you. There's one of those stupid, damn cable-pulley things right in front of the best squat rack. Still workable but you have to make sure there's no-one using it when you're doing higher weights, so I stopped at a poundage that took some effort to get up but was still comfortable.

  The knees have felt pretty solid this last couple of times doing squats. Probably from finding a stool with a comfortable height at which to box squat. Almost no interior pinching or post-workout swelling. I have also been extremely careful with technique, of course. Very encouraging. Still can't walk down stairs, of course, but you take what you can get.  :/
