Hips and knees actually didn't feel great all day and it was also a pretty tiring and stressful day so autoregulation wise, wasn't the best time for training, but pushed through it anyway.  260 felt a bit shaky, as did set 4 of the working sets, and I think the reason is because although I push my hips back and descend straight down, I realized that the weight was not over the heels enough and so the descent felt less solid and confident.  Also, had less power on the ascent.  Realized this most consciously during set 4 so for set 5 I focused more on the heels and things felt significantly better, despite it being the last set of the day.  Power was better out of the hole, and descent definitely sped up.  Hopefully I'll feel better by next squat session on Friday.
