Buh Bye Starting Strength, Hello 5-3-1!

From Starting Strength came 5-3-1 starting on the last day of February. I was dealing with a hip flexor problem, and this was going to be my golden ticket to getting back in the game. It was meant to regain the strength I had gained, especially in terms of my squat, by starting me off at a much lower max for healing.
5-3-1 has been a decent program, especially when dealing with injury, but I am getting a bit frustrated weekly due to the fact that I only squat 1 day a week. On Starting Strength I was handling 3 times a week, so this is easier, but very irritating.
