Well, I'm posting this on Tuesday the 8th...my ass/hamstrings/quads are finally recovered mostly.  I'm thinking maybe 3 sets of 8-10 on the squats may be more appropriate for the next couple weeks, until I'm used to the volume.  Because honestly I can barely walk the rest of the day here, and then for the next two days I'm stiff, sore, and slow no matter how much I try and stretch out.   Maybe 245-255-265 next week.  Split squats I need to start doing outside the squat rack because I keep banging the weight on the side of it when dipping down.  Other than that they went well.  Straight-leg kickbacks I posted a video of below. I do them standing up leaning against the column of the cable station though.  Added weight on to the paloffs, felt good.   Also of note, I feel like the pin squats are definitely helping me at the bottom of the regular squats, that start from the bottom with no momentum really has been a boon to regular squats.
