Well as per the 5/3/1 ... you're supposed to "leave one in the tank" on the all out set... and usually that works out fine. Up until now I've been getting the reps I need without going to failure. The last couple of weeks has been a different story though.

Right now I am trying to gain some size but still strength is still probably priority over that. I have been putting on some weight the program is working in that sense and I'm eating enough.

I know I should be squatting more by now. Part of the problem is I squat A2G ... seriously I've seen maybe a handful of ppl that squat as low as I do. However, I still believe that my squat could be better. I should be squatting at least 3 plates by now.

I think I have to give the 5/3/1 a little more time. I think one of my problems is that i made some large increases between 5/3/1 cycles because I was gaining strength so fast after the injury but my body wasn't ready to do it yet.

Anyway, I'll still try to remember to get vids of my squat so you can see that it is LOW as F.
