After I lift I immediately usually do cardio, about 15-25 min of running or stairs (pulsating from sprint to jog). Is this bad for my gains? I need more stamina points.

That's nothing.

:D Well no problem there but:

A study (cannot find the link, sorry) showed upto 150% increase in testesterone levels after 7 days no sex. (Hands included). There's a reason for some top athelete having no-sex rules. :>
That being said.. I doubt very many of us are top 1% athelete in the world.

No yanking the cranks, sorry. Atleast not 7 days before record lifts :p
Interesting enough 6 days no-sex didn't have "any" effect compared to 7 days.

I deadlifted at novice level for my bodyweight today, which was very impressive to me as a very weak person. I've also eaten like 3,500 calories and I am still so hungry!!!

Why the gently caress does my gym only have one squat rack, this fuckers been in it for 20 minutes and won't get out or let me work in because he's 'supah-settin!'

Goddamnit, I had a lovely gym session. My knee started hurting again. I've been stretching and foam rolling basically every night, and it seemed the past 2 weeks or so it helped, I could squat again and had worked slowly up to 135 and then tonight my knee started doing it again, before I even put any weight on the bar. I didn't really warm up a lot by stretching right before the workout which maybe is what caused it. I'm not sure, but it bummed me out so bad I didn't even stay to do my upper body. The pain and symptoms basically perfectly match patellofemoral syndrome. I'm hoping maybe I just need to stay on top of the stretching and foam rolling for a while longer. Probably get a real mobility routine, as basically all I have been doing is the couch stretch and a few hamstring stretches plus foam rolling. Going to order a lacrosse ball tonight and start doing the limber 11 routine. If all that doesn't help after a few weeks, I guess I'll make an appointment with a physio.

FWIW before I got this job working a ton of hours on my feet, I literally never had issues with my knees and got up to like 225 on my squats.

when you sit down on the ground, are you able to hyper-extend your knee? A healthy knee joint should be able to hyper extend a bit. You will know you are doing int because your hamstrings will stay on the ground but your heel will come up maybe a half inch or so off the floor.

I tried squatting again after that event last week, only going up to 40% 1RM. No pain but I feel really stiff, can barely get down to parallel.

If it's pain above where the knee cap attaches to your leg it's probably something in your quads. Sit on the ground with your leg in front of you and roll an empty barbell over it and tell us all how it feels.

e: obviously don't roll over the knee cap start above there

squats and deads can and probably will injure you if you do them wrong and too heavy. lift light until you feel solid as gently caress in your tecnique and you should be fine

Try a 30 Day Squat Challenge and pink dumbbell curls until you "build up a base" then move on to machines never improve
