Muscle groups. Joints are pretty good.

Talking about joints, I need to fix up my squats. I'm using a machine at the moment (pads on shoulders, pushing with my body on a 50 degree incline), but I can't seem to push properly with my heels instead of the balls of my feet.

It's either my form, intrinsic foot problem or my shoes. Does anyone have experience squatting in running shoes while maintaining the weight on your heels? It's a likely problem since running shoes by design will try to aid you in your weight transition from the heel-strike to toe-off. Perhaps some flat shoes would work better in this case.

That, or I should try using balance-balls + wall to squat properly first.

I worked out on an empty stomach today (4 hours after previous meal), and didn't feel that I could work as hard as I did last time. Something just keeps failing me. Also, towards the end (5-6 hours post-meal) my stomach felt like it was digesting itself. Relief only came when I went home and ate stuff.
