You don't see a person who needs workout advice from HN, but in case anyone else reading this might, > Running hurts my knees I've been following ATG (from Ben Patrick, the "knees over toes guy", google/youtube it) for about 2 years and it has made a tremendous difference to my knee ability; I have a torn meniscus and the routines he suggest have allowed me to regain full functionality.

Actually, I learned from HN about leangains [1] and hypertrophy-specific training [2]. [1] https://leangains.com/ https://leangains.com/ - it is now mostly Patreon, but circa 2008 it was awesome. A lot of information. [2] https://web.archive.org/web/20191220193823/http://hypertrophyspecific.com/hst_index.html https://web.archive.org/web/20191220193823/http://hypertroph... - it is only in Archive now Applying both leangains and HST, I've managed to lose 2.5 kg of fat while gaining 4.5 kg of lean tissue in three month. I was 38 years old at the time (2009). For that I am very, very grateful to HN. Regarding knees' pain, please look into HST's principles and literature. 15+ repetitions incorporated there heals ligaments' and muscles' microinjuries.
