I have been told by Craig Hirota that it appears I do not use enough hip drive during squats. According to Paul Carter, doing pause squats should alleviate this problem. Therefore, I will be doing pause squats for the foreseeable future.
Pause Squats
138/7, 188/4, 228/3, 258/2, 278/1, 278/1, 228/3, 228/5
* Felt a tweak in my lower back on the first set of 278 while paused. This greatly affected the rest of my workout, especially deadlifts. It's only a minor tweak, so I should be healed relatively quickly. I will chalk it up to not really knowing the exercise yet, and will anticipate that it will stop occurring as I get used to the motion.
Deadlifts
183/5, 223/4, 273/3, 323/2
* Really felt my lower back on the sets of 273 and 323, so I stopped.
