But I also think you're right. It could just be my body adjusting to a new stance. I am gonna go with wide stance and feet angled out for my entire next cycle of 5/3/1. If this pain continues, I'll re-evaluate. Nothing else in my training, recovery or stretching has changed so I can only think it's the change in foot position and lower hip position to initiate my deadlift that has caused some discomfort. But it is too early to tell if it's going to continue or if my body will get used to it as it's not a super severe pain.

yeah man definitely foam roll before squat/dl.. makes a huge difference.
