I had a similar experience – what worked for me was dialing down the intensity for the entire set (i.e. make sure even the first couple reps are at an intensity I could do 10x). I think that’s better than going really hard out of the gate and then being too fatigued to finish the set.
If you still feel too fatigued even with starting “less explosive” then replacing the last couple SJS with regular split squats seems reasonable? I also feel like you’re probably already getting a ton of benefit even if you can’t quite finish the 10 reps.
I will also say that I followed the same training plan a couple years ago and found that I was not strong or fit enough to recover well between days. I think that plan in particular is well suited for someone with a solid training history because it’s pretty intense, but there are other plans out there that might be a better starting point if you find the same issue with recovery that I did. I ended up overtrained and got some tendon injuries that I dealt with for a year or so.
