     I dialed the weight back to 155lb. I know I can do at least 3 at 165lb, but I don't want or need to be stressing my back to it's maximum right now, so 155lb was it. Quite frankly, I'm glad I didn't try and push any further. I've been fighting an infection the past few days and I felt it last night - low energy even though I'd eaten well. 
     Another issue I saw last night was the "misalignment" in myhips. I had unracked the weight and squatted but it felt wrong. I looked at myself and even though I had felt like I was straight, my right foot was a couple inches behind my left and my hips were angled. I reracked it, then tried again and made sure I was straight.
     The only thing I can think of is that even though my back is feeling better, my muscles are still tightening and pulling me out of alignment. With that in mind, I'm going to make sure to do deep squat holds throughout the day today. I've found that sitting into a squat for as long as I can comfortably hold it is great for realigning my hips. And it feels good too!
     Something else about my hips I've noticed that's odd comes up when I deadlift. Wearing a belt is sometimes necessary, but at times I feel like I want to put the belt around my hips. There are times when it's my low back that needs the support, but other times I feel very "loose" in the hip joints. Something to pay attention to. My body's giving me clues as to where it needs to be strengthened and I need to pay attention. Focusing on the posterior chain, adductors, abductors, and core will benefit me greatly. Squats will benefit me greatly, but I just have to be smart about it, and not rush.
