you will actually do less reps and more weight so you will be able to get use to the load. also I find the last set of slow and really focus on powering up fast helps with the muscle fibers firing off in a power lifting sort of way, (like doing speed lifting), just make sure you don't lock your knees, you could hurt yourself that way, just stop shy of lockout.

Your warm up is not wrong, it is good. I just wanted to share what I do and see if anybody else would have good results with it. what do you think?
I think that warm-up looks good man. I will giv'er a shot next time

But regardless, keep in mind that a warm-up, including the acclimations, shouldn't really be taxing to you. They should get you ready and enable you to lift to your maximum, but not take anything out of you really. The only reason I mention this is because you mentioned the number of sets you did including the warm-ups (and also the "tears"). Makes me thing they are impacting you in some way if only phsychologically.
I put the tears in because I was in the squat box for so long lol. The warm-up sets weren't super super easy, but they didn't take anything off of my workout sets. Thanks for looking out for me Eric.
