The bar is 25.5kg and I added 10kg. It felt heavy but not that I expected not to be able to do it.

Indeed. I don't understand why the addition of 10kg would mean a reduction from 30 reps to 2 reps.

Sounds like a mental issue. Because it "feels heavier" your mind is distracted from everything and focused to much on the weight.

I've had that happen on DB benchpress, were I messed up my sets because the 75's just "felt heavy" before even trying the first rep.

I suggest, you load up the bar with the weight you want to use for the next workout and just get into the position and hold it for a few seconds to a minute. You'll force your body to become more acustom to the added weight and it'll feel more natural for the next time you perform the exercise.

Just my $.02 and something I've used before.

I've done this too.

Another thing you can do is to say "okay, I'm going to do ten reps today" - if you can do two, then do two. Then do another one or two later on, and then another one when you can... until you've done all ten reps. Eventually you'll be able to string 'em all together into one set.

That's where cheater quarter squats come in. I used to load up on my next week's target weight and do a set of 5-10 quarter squats. More mental than anything else.

I will be trying some of these things out when I get my strength back.
I am finding on this diet my legs are shaking after doing squats. I'm more likely to drop it. I don't want to risk injury
