Notes - Overall a good day.  I had a long interruption after the OHP and before the DL for work calls, but stayed around and got it done.  The 5x5 squats were pretty damn hard. Looking at the video, there are some things to like, the bar placement is so much better and I am not having any issues anymore with my elbows or wrists, which is awesome.  The OHP was strong.  The 5x5 squats take a heavy toll and really create a lot of systemic fatigue, and I really had to grind to get the 5th rep on the 3rd and 4th sets, but got them, which was good.  That ran me out of steam for the last set so I had to go triple then double.  But overall a good day.
