Yes it is more comfortable holding it with your arms crossed but if you really want to venture into O-lifting that is a good place to start.

I'll vary the rep scheme a little from here out. 3x15 is doable. I've been toying with the idea of working my way up to 10x10 before I up the poundages much. I figured the higher reps would help me shed some flab while strengthening my joints and such. Thoughts?

I wouldn't recommend it and I wouldn't think it would be necessary. I just thought for the time being staying in the 10-12-15 rep range for 4-3 sets would be good for the next 2 weeks.

Cardio... what's that? :-)
Like I mentioned earlier, I enjoy a good jog greatly but I think this is what has caused a lot of my knee pain. October 2005 I ran a 5k in 20:36, I thought that was pretty good. Now I'm looking at maybe getting into some road cycling. Something low(er) impact. Recently I've just been walking on a an incline for 30-45 minutes. Would Met-con be considered cardio? I was introduced to that phrase from this forum, I've been looking into it, intrigued really.

Since you have knee pain I'd definitely avoid jogging. Does your gym have a rowing machine?
I do consider met-con to be cardio. Try it, let me know what you think.
