I hope you didn't get a pair of shoes on the recommendation of unkle? He showed me the shittest pair of trainers I've ever seen and said what do you think? I got them from Japan, a special collectors edition they only cost £200!!! Oh my god I'm having flashbacks

To be fair it was just the opposite!
I'd been searching for them for ages, with no success. Then the obvious equation Sneakers=Uncle came to mind. Messaged him on WA, and five minutes later I had my new sneakers.
They're very comfy and mega cool. Maybe a bit soft for moving bigger weights, but fantastic on everything else. Now I want a smaller size for sprinting...

Nice work. I find breathing correctly for these really difficult. You kind of want to hold it in to maintain tension as you lower down but I find if I hold it in for the whole rep my head feels like it's about to pop!

For standing rolls breathing is not an issue because the time of the rep is really short and you can easily manage it. Pressure feels tough though!
On kneeling rolls I do longer reps and sets with a 5" pause at full stretch for 6 reps and a 10" pause for 3 reps with no rest in between, so I need to breathe and of course it makes things harder.
It's not strange that breathing during a rep is highly advised for improving the squat and the deadlift. By breathing you release the abdominal pressure and become more unstable, so you have to compensate.
