First Week of 5/3/1 - Currently Adapting Training to My Newly Discovered Hip Joint Problems and Planning on Competing in Fall.
This was my first squat day for 5/3/1, I'm doing all my squats with just a belt right now, and working on finding an ideal stance that doesn't aggravate my hip. It was my "3s" week for 5/3/1 and my final set was 365x6, I followed that with 3 down sets (first set last) of 285x5 on beltless pause squats. After that I went and hit some GHR and then went to OU's fieldhouse to push the Prowler (10 trips of 40 yards was a lot harder than I expected!) I'm really liking the simplicity of training right now, and it's definitely been challenging.

a. Toe touch to leg swings
