Sorry haven't been watching your thread for a while, great progress. How much do you weigh now? Why is knee clicking? Is that from stairs? Good to see you do 50 pull ups, was it timed?

Will weigh in again tomorrow as do Monday and Friday but on Monday I was 77.8kg which is pretty dam light.
 
Unsure why knee is clicking but i noticed it the day after a golf tournament. Only clicks when I go up stairs and straighten my leg out. I can run stairs at pace with no click etc but walking up them not so good. Not pain but very loud click.
 
Didnt time the 50pullups, Just did them.
