Well, my workout today didn't really go well...
Worked up to 290x5 on DL's.
For some reason, I was completely drained after the DL's. I was already dealing with a bad headache, but after those DL's, my tank just went completely empty. 0 energy. Every warmup rep on squats felt heavy and couldn't even stay tight. I decided to stop and leave before I ended up just getting hurt. Gonna re-do squats, or at least try to, next workout. I honestly don't know what happened today. Not sure if I just didn't eat well enough, not enough rest. Not sure.
Hoping to bounce back next workout...

Why DL before squats? Are you squatting 3x/week?

This was something I've tried to figure out in the past, whether or not to DL or squat first. The consensus from everything I read, and from what others told me, is to DL first. The theory behind it is that DL'ing would serve as a "warmup" before squatting.
And yes, I'm squatting 3x a week. Gonna do some extra foam rolling today, dynamic stretching, eat a sh*t load, and re-do squats tomorrow. I still have no explanation as to what happened yesterday. Just weird. lolMy log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=136366931

Warmups: RC work & dynamic stretching
Squat
135x3
185x2
225x1
260x3x5 <-- Better.
Bench
135x5
185x2
210x1
240x3x5 <-- Somewhat difficult
Circuit <-- Was running short on time
BB Curls 75x3x12
Hanging Leg Raises 3x10
Tricep Rope Pushdowns 100x3x12
Overview:
Allright, much better. Light years better than last workout. Again, the weight is increasing, but the hip drive still feels strong. I've actually found sort of a new way of squatting. I used to literally take like 5 seconds in between reps. lol Now I sort of squat with a good tempo. Bench was a little difficult, more so than what I was hoping for. I'll see how things play out next week.My log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=136366931
