Notes
Squats felt solid.  Per Gabe, I tried to initiate with a little more hip break.  I've been kind of intentionally knee-breaking so I don't fall into bad habits of excessive lumbar extension.  Today felt good.  Left the gym pain free.  Its pretty crazy, but I don't feel squatting in my hip joints at all anymore.

I utilized the 2-3-5 ladder progression.  It worked very well.  Much easier to do it this way rather than just hitting max reps each set and descending all the way down.  I felt relatively relaxed using this method.  There was no pressure, and no need to blow my guts out.  I'm going to utilize ladders from here on out for 50/20.
