today was my squat day and this training week i am starting 3x3 with squats. i used 315 for my work sets. this should be EASY for me to get 3x3 (my 5rm is probably around 335 or so), as i intend to work up with progressive resistance. well, my first set was way more difficult than it should have been, as the third rep was a slight struggle. i also felt some discomfort at the top of my front thighs right up near my hip. during my second set, the first two reps presented the same problem, but since i was expecting it i was trying to figure out what i was doing wrong just by feel. i wasn't pushing my hips far enough back. the third rep of the second set i was much better. the third set i got the groove back and got my hips back far enough; it felt so good compared to the previous two sets, i put up six reps for the hell of it. 
and after a bit more quad work, i am here writing this. and boy am i beat!
