Hip impingement is back and I don't know why.  I did the same mobility work to warm up, including a lot of hip flexor stretching and mobilizing the joint capsule using the resistance band for distraction force.  Don't know what's the problem but it is definitely affecting my squat, although I was able to do 3x5 of 255 again.  After that, with the 155 lb back off high rep set, I toyed with placing the hands closer and the back tightness did feel quite good!  I will have to try that closer grip with heavier weights next time.  To try to help with the hip impingement I think I will try to stand more shoulder width as opposed to hip width and push out the knees even more to try to create more space.  Hopefully that helps.  I'm quite peeved the impingement is back...
