Best recovery plan for powerlifting?

Best recovery plan for powerlifting?TL;DR: Didn't feel like lifting. 5x5 Squat seemed more fatigued and missed a 85% max of 425lbs. Need help on a recover plan. Today was leg day. I usually lift in the morning so that throughout my day I can burn calories while walking around campus. Normal routine: 315x10 warm-up. 405x5 set, 425x2 set, 405x5, 385x5, 315x10. Felt more fatigued with squats with about 20mins of stretching. I usually take 2-4 minutes of rest per set. Today seemed a bit off, and I scratched my second set of 425x2. Legs and lower back weaken and pump is not active throughout workout. Is there a way to have a weekly recover plan? I.e. stretching, running, diet, sleep cycles. Should I lay off squats for a bit? submitted by /u/Drukarya [link] [comments]
