Thanks man, but I’m far from being one of the strongest men on the planet, always learning and trying, just like everyone else...especially right now dealing with sickness.
Just keep working man and TIME will get you to where you want to be.
Do you ever do any reverse hypers?
What kind of knee injury do you have? What hurts it?

I was out walking one of the dogs last September. My knee felt tight so I twisted it to make it crack. Bad move. The next day I couldn't even do free-standing squats.
Once I could do squats with the bar again, I was squatting four or five times a week, depending on aches, and adding 2.5Kg to the bar each session for 5x5. Once I reached 80Kg I dropped down to 3x per week and added 5Kg per session.
All I'm left with now is that when I go for a brisk walk the point inner and slightly beneath the kneecap (lower-inner corner) aches and, also, when I squat deep, on coming back up past parallel, the joint moves. It's odd since I don't feel anything on the way down and it's fine if I stop at parallel. Just coming back up from fully-deep I feel a slight movement in the right knee. I might switch to box-squats for a couple of months at this stage. I'm still scared to over-stress it but I'll keep adding to the bar until the aches tell me I'm doing more harm than good. I get the movement even just getting myself up from the floor if I rise from that leg. Maybe it's time to see a doctor.
I've not done reverse-hypers for a while, probably not since I stopped using the gym. I've been meaning to get a couple of planks to lay across the spotter bars in the rack.
