You drew a connection between that and your friend's knee injuries, and that anecdote appeared to be the focus of your post. If it's not, why did you even mention your friend at all? He wasn't even bicycling, so it obviously had nothing to do with your "fact" about power at low cadence.

I'm obviously aware that I am placing more stress throughout my legs--that's why it's resistance training.

Please don't offer your opinion of what I'm doing if you don't want an argument. I've taken enough hypocritical crap from you about being argumentative to last a lifetime.
