Notes - Tough day, man those 5 x 5 squats are HARD.  Looking at the video, I keep good form all the way through the last rep and didn't cut depth.  Something to be proud of. Having to do 5x5 OHP right after is depressing, but I took a rest and got after it and that 5x5 was good, even though I am not getting all 5 sets these are good reps and I am getting stronger.  DLs were pretty good, I am trying to make a big chest and squeeze the bar off the floor.
