You don't take a one day break in between workouts? Are you getting enough recovery?

Sometimes I dont, just for the hell of it. Had bad luck, my cold is back, damn virus! I think you know what I mean.

[Bill Quick]

Joy.

You'll be all right in a week or two!

I've found the MyFitnessPal app (Android, iPhone, desktop) an excellent tool for keeping track of my calorie and nutrient intake. It's been a huge help to me in my recent weight loss. I made my goal for 2015 to lose 20 pounds, but I didn't start seriously until a month ago - and I've lost seven pounds - only 13 to go!

Ok, I have tried it, but think its somehow complicated, Im doing it by trying to cut down on carbs

You have a similar contraption for squats that I have. You get proper depth but I wonder if those trousers give you enough room. I.e. Levis are very restrictive for the squat. Do you have anything a little more flexible? It might make the squat a little easier.

Thanks carson for your comment on the squat, I will continue keeping my squats low, the pants are soft and they are no Levis and I dont feel restricted by them, I like them, but I need to buy another pair anyway.
