ROFL! exactly! Squats and lunges kill me! Plus, it doesn't help that my right knee has been bad since I broke my right leg when I was a kid. It's gotten a lot stronger and it doesn't tell the weather anymore, but I babied that leg/overcompensated with the other leg for a loong time.

Now that I think about it, I used to do the shoulder presses and lat pulldowns in my previous workouts. Plus, whenever i needed to pick something off the floor it was more of a good-morning type movement rather than bending my knees. For my leg workouts I used to do leg presses so I wonder if my hammies were dominating causing my quads not to catch up. They're catching up now, that's for sure!
