I didn't feel this way when I was making rapid progress (adding 40lbs to my squat in just a few weeks) doing linear progression.
I'm doing 5-3-1 and find squatting 1x per week makes that effort a real bother.
It's harder than hell to focus on a fly ball after you've been staring at the ground.
On the other hand, I'm awfully happy with my chin ups lately and my other lifts aren't terrible compared to when I was on the other program. And I can run a mile in 8 1/2 minutes again.
Any ideas on how to gin up that killer instinct?
