The complications are that I can't do squats / dead lifts other than very light single leg work nor can I do leg press. This is due to back issues and weight compression on the spine. You can also forget any jumping, plyo work, running, sprinting, etc. or anything else fun.
What type am I? Reasonably bulky (not easy bulky), that can get fat too. So an Endomorph, but I would never say I put on muscle easy. Could also be a beerdomorph. I drink beer easy.
Edit, geez, I just googled endomorph, I don't look anything like that. I'm fairly trim at 205 and 6 foot I suppose, just could do with dropping 10 lbs and thought I was bulky. The description seemed to work but the images don't. Think hugh jackman if he had three kids and a day job at a desk for a few years.

My suggestion would be to see an Active Rehabilitation expert who can provide a workout routine that will allow you to work around your injuries. If you are looking to lose weight, eat fewer calories but maintain protein.
