Primetimes are some sort of "straight leg" runs, throwing your legs straight in front of you and pulling yourself across the track.

I personally like the dynamic loaded hip dominant exercises like KB swings (assuming you do them right) because they're both dynamic but they also load you up quite a bit so you feel if you load your posterior chain or your quads. Sometimes it's harder to feel it with just your bodyweight.

Well, there has to be a solution. Maybe you can do strictly hip dominant work like very heavy kettlebell swings? They would pretty much target everything: power, strength (due to the constant time under tension), fitness, posterior chain activation, you name it, while also taking away focus from your knees and programming you to be more hip dominant. Sounds like the perfect idea.

Maybe you should do stuff like primetimes on the track that focuses on having a straight leg... so you learn how not to bend at the knee that much. Also, submaximal jumps where you hip snap and KB swings, since they are hip-driven dynamic movements (assuming you do them right and not "squat" them).

You tell me? My back is really bad for the last 6 months... I can't "afford" to miss time training, especially since that keeps me somewhat mentally stable, doing it, thinking about it, planning it etc.

Personally, maybe I should just focus on eating right instead of training. Maybe acole can focus on something similar.

You never finished that one-leg jumping series that you started years back

On another note:

my uni officially (i think -- they sent me payroll forms to fill out lol) offered me a part time cyber security summer internship thanks to my friend. its lower pay than my current job plus less hours. However, it's necessary in order to build experience to land an entry level job upon graduation in december. the good news is my friend said i can extend the internship past the summer up until my december graduation if i dont find work elsewhere when the internship ends in september. nice. also - he may get promoted soon, and he will recommend me for his current position where he started at 60k/yr. he says its an easy ass job but boring, which is fine by me. i'll keep myself occupied with studying to further my career. or maybe by then i'll figure out how to make a little cash online.

Sounds like the perfect situation for me: not too many hours, promotion possibility, already having friends in. Definitely go for it. You'll also have time to train and learn.

No idea. I mean, caffeine is just an adenosin-inhibitor, and that's pretty much it. As long as you don't take it every time, you shouldn't adapt to it too much having the adenosin receptor numbers decrease or anything crazy like that. You would probably need to overdose on it quite a bit.

I just took 3 bottles of NO Explode because they were at a reduced price

If I'll kill myself eventually, maybe I should drink all three of them at once. That amounts to ~100 doses of NO Explode giving you YES Explode as an effect.

You can treat the term "Republican" euphemistically.
