UAE - can see the re-up so possibly not that. Thanks for the link!
I cycle about 5km to the gym so legs are nicely warm but always, always start squatting with the bar before loading any plates on. Trying to go straight to work-sets (especially 1rm) is just not a smart idea. A good warm-up will let you lift MORE than going in cold (think about hitting a club 10 fresh out of the car). If you really need to hit a single big set then keep the warm-up sets but just drop the reps right back down (e.g. doubles and triples rather than 10/8/5/whatever).
Remember, you're there to build strength, not test it (especially with your goals).

Not in country so maybe that's got something to do with it? Thanks for the earlier summary anyway!
