There is no better part of a workout than the time right after you've finished a set of heavy deadlifts. They are exhausting, statisfyingly so, and my god do they work. An awesome exercise. I must say I'm enjoying squats again, though I'm only on light weights for the time being. Mind you, with attention to form on squats I personally don't think you need a lot of weight (the more the better obviously, but with good form a far lighter weight feels much heavier). My legs are still sore from Monday's workout though!

I have screaming pain in my left kneecap if more pressure than the weight of my clothing is applied to it. Or better yet, if you know how to eliminate pre-patellar bursitis, that'd be great too!

Looking at the different equipment available, and styles, it can be seen that pressure can be removed from knees and transferred to upper thighs. From there I can imagine experimenting/figuring out a way to use a common, cheap fitball to achieve the desired outcome. In fact the ways of achieving it are only limited by desire and imagination.

Its getting a bit off the track here, (however, in a way it addresses the original question, and really applies to results in training), but that's the key to dealing with/training around/healing any injuries, or effecting any change. Once the existing situation is identified, if it is to be changed, focus must be shifted to the solution. However, its a classic catch 22, because achieving that, requires unbiased openess to the actual possibility of a solution exsisting, even if it hasn't been thought of yet, so that creativity and imagination can be aimed in that direction. And that can be tough with injuries, and the nature and type of thinking and beliefs they can understandably trigger. It is easy to get trapped in a thinking/believing/reinforcing cycle which actually perpetuates the injury situation, or any situation needing changing, and prevents the imagination and creativity from seeing/believing and thus achieving/creating anything else.
