I didn't get to do as many squats as I wanted because some people showed up early for class, but at least I got a solid 5x5 in . I felt quite a "pinch" in my left hip when I did the first 95lb squat. I was worried that it was going to end the night. I stretched for a minute and then jumped up to the pullup bar on the squat rack. I let my weight drop "forcefully" and I felt a lovely clunk in my low back that seemed to put everything back in line. I don't really recommend just dropping your weight like that, but it's what seems to work for me, so I'm good with that. 
I was going to do a strict 5x5 on presses, but by that time, everyone was in class and I didn't want to hold things up, so I figured I would try for a max (which I haven't done in quite some time). I'm super pleased to have hit a PR of 110lb! I haven't had a PR on anything in what seems like forever, so this made me feel great! I actually felt like I had a little more in me, but we'll save that for next time (wink wink).
Justin gave me an earful last week about not having a program to follow. So I made the effort to jump back into my 5x5. I'm recommitting myself to it and its structure and I'm also nailing down more time at home to get it done. Frank has surprised me with a squat rack so once that shows up and we maneuver it into the basement I'll be squatting like a maniac! (I hope).
So, anyhow....yup. New PR. hehehehe
