Notes -  Good training session.  Deep squats, strong.  OHP - I am revising the Texas Method to basically get in 4 upper body lifts a week - 2 volume 5x5s on separate days (bench or OHP) and 2 1 x 5s or heavy singles on ID (Fridays).  I was doing some reading over the last week and I think this modification will be good for the upper body lifts, and get me benching and pressing 2x per week.  This will allow for a think a bit more progress on the lifts, which can be recovered from more readily than lower body squat and deadlift.
