Stretching before is not good. Despite what many people think, static stretching before a workout will reduce strength in the muscle and can cause more injuries than without stretching. Plus most of the exercises you perform are within the normal range of motion, and most athletic/sports injuries are outside of the normal range of motion (which is why you stretch before those and even then static is not as good as dynamic but I won't get into that). It's better to warm up than it is to stretch, in the case of weight training.
Look at what you did for legs. You acclimated to a peak of 335x1 (max intensity for that day) then you dropped the intensity down and eventually killed it with the 135x30. You did sort of a low-med-high-med-verylow range of intensity, basically a pyramid. When you did these squats what were you trying to accomplish? It's a mix of 'strength', 'mass', and 'endurance' rolled into one.
Saying that you heard something from many people doesn't really fly well
