Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below For the past six months my legs have been constantly sore. I squat three days a week doing the 5x5. It is to the point where I am losing strength because unable to go as heavy as I would like. I try to push through but almost feels as if something is going to pull. The pain is on the sides of my quads from the middle on up. I have tried taking a break for a couple of weeks but no good. I have started going deeper in my squats maybe that has something to do with it. Anyone else had this or give any info.

squats 3 x week doing 5x5!!are you crazy? YOu are seriously over training buddy. All you need is one good intense 5x5 a week and you should have no desire to do legs again that week...if the intensity is high....
other than that drink a lot of water, eat bannanas, and take magnesium

Take a break from working out. If it goes away, then great. If not, then go see a doctor. Abdominal masses, tumors, and aneurysms of the aorta can sometimes entrap the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. Compression of L2 and L3 can also cause this sensation. Both of these are usually unilateral, whereas your symptoms are bilateral. This gives me the impression it's related to your workouts (overtraining it seems).
There is also a condition called meralgia paresthetica if I remember correctly. I think it's caused by hyperextension of the hip, but I have never diagnosed this in anyone and only remember it remotely from anatomy classes in medical school.
