Do you use knee sleeves?  Also, did you feel your knees caving in towards each other at all?

nope, never have. no caving. i don't even really cave on max attempts.

Any tips to work on self confidence in that regard... how where you able to change it? I'm also a wuss when it comes to talking to girls eventhough I look pretty decent.

Two main things, although I can't tell you what flipped the switch finally on either of them:
1. I stopped caring whether a woman I'm interested in is interested in me. If she is, wonderful. If not, okay.
2. I started actually believing that I'm attractive. People have told since I was in my early teens that I'm handsome. For the longest time, there was something blocking me from internalizing that. A little cockiness/vanity helps when it comes time to make a move.

Don't want to overemphasize the shift -- one the one hand, it's not like I'm Brad Pitt or anything, and on the other hand, I hooked up with and dated some attractive women over the years. Just never with the volume that I've had this year.

yeah i hadn't really been single as an adult until the last year. and i wasn't that self-confident as a younger dude. still a wuss in some ways, my buddy was making fun of me the other weekend for not wanting to go up to women at the bar we were at. i believe the quote was, "you're the best-looking dude in this bar but you have the self-confidence of a fourth grader." in my defense, that chick was a smoke show and i did end up going over to talk to her. nevertheless, i'm way more confident than i used to be and that has resulted in sex with a lot of different women. and lots of dates.

anyway, was rushed again last night. and tired, as i said.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee during squatting, in a weird new way
MENTAL STATE: out of it

- warm up
did some one-step jumps but height was so bad that i didn't press

- squat MSEM 305 x 4
felt like shit, knee hurt. got some power but felt unsteady. blah.

- fuck it

on the plus side, i got a full 8 hours of sleep last night. let the repairs begin.

no idea about balls for playing but cheap rubber is an interesting thought.

WEIGHT: 174.0 -- helloooo, set point
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: low back a little tight but okay
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- paused squat 290 x 5,5

late workout because had to go to a happy hour for a coworker who's leaving (didn't drink obviously) so i was a little rushed.

there is basically no chance your cardio is getting worse, unless you're getting emphysema or something. progressive overload doesn't work that way and you've been both adding miles and losing weight.

i've tried a few times but it messes so completely with my barely-over-the-rim jump height that it's very discouraging.

and i need a bouncier ball.

squats look sturdy but not quite full depth. don't quite understand what you didn't like about the shoes, if you had a little bit more heel i bet you could break parallel. OTOH if those are comfortable then there's no super compelling reason to go deeper. you're not prepping for a PL comp.

it's hard to tell on the DL, maybe because your shirt is wrinkly or something, but is your back rounding a little?
