One Step Forward...Two Steps Back

Today was supposed to be the start of adding auto regulation into my program.

SQ - bar x 5/5, 135 x 5, 185 x 5. 225 x 5 (RPE 6.5), 255 x 5 (RPE 7.5), 275 x 5 Belted (RPE 8), 295 x 5 Belted (RPE 9)
I worked up to an RPE off 9. So far, so good. Then I took 5% off 280 x 2...outta nowhere, both hamstrings grabbed on that second rep coming out of the hole. I almost dumped the bar but managed to get it racked. F#ck!

I continued on with the BP
bar x 5, 95 x 5, 135 x 5 (RPE 6.5), 155 x 5 (RPE 8), 175 x 5 (RPE 9), 165 x 5 (RPE 9) Done.

I was getting annoyed so I decided to end with hammer curls. Set the timer for 5 minutes
35# each - 15,8,8,6,6. My hammies were aching so I quit before the time was up.

Everything seemed to be going so swimmingly until both hamstrings went. I never had anything like that happen before. Usually, I get a warning and foolishly continue before making it worse. Perhaps, I wasn't recovered fully from my last workout.
