Fatigued.
Also, I've been doing some research and I believe I have shin splints. Explains the pain in my upper shin bone, which originally only affected my left leg (this was months ago), but has recently been affecting my right leg. I believe one factor is the Oly shoes I wear when I lift- it seems the large heel limits the ROM of the dorsiflexors and tightens the plantarflexors over time. Probably feet position when I squat is too outward, although it doesnt feel like that. I also squat ATG, and use a high barbell position. Damn this.

Next time I do these I will do them before my squats. Ouch. Even though I was fatigued before I even started squatting, I'm satisfied I got some pretty heavy singles (at least for me). Will be doing some sort of squat (mostly BS) everyday and see where the so called Bulgarian system will take me.
