Oh my days...had such a weird time at the gym was focused but can't even remember much of it now. Also had a nightmare about my deadlifts today due to not being switched on....
Squat 85 * 95 * 5 105 * 5 115 * 5 115 * 5 - This was pretty filthy, my legs are killing me now i think this is first time i've experienced doms as they are hurting loads and also feel like deadweights
Mil 22.5 * 5 37 * 5 47 * 5 52.5 * 3 - Hard Hard Hard last set was REALLY HARD thought my eyes where going to pop out!
Wide Chins + 5kg 8 7 7 - pretty happy with this bloody hard work though!
Deadlifts - well started of well 95 * 5 then i changed the weights thinking an extra 20 on each side thinking it would be
105 * 5 so i lifted and it was bloody hard! lost my form and stuff, i was like wtf! whats going on. tried again got 4 this time i was really pissed off. I go for a piss come back mate goes you finished with these 25? i was DAM!!!!!!!!!
So i did 95 * 5 115 * 5 120 * 4 120 * 4 pretty annoyed as it killed my back early on.
Never mind, hey ho!

You have to make your own pizza's they are soooo good!!
Today, Thinking of dropping squats for a while and replacing with leg press as i'm getting quite a lot lower back strain which i believe is slighty from leaning forwards on the squat and also want to change to stop my body getting used to the action.
Leg press - 180 x 5 200 x 5 210 x 5 220 x 5 230 x 5 240 x 3 220 x 8
Incline - 20 each arm x 5 22.5 x 5 25 x 5 27.5 x 5 30 x 5 32.5 x 2 really found this hard 27.5 x 8
Calf 90kg 3 x 8
Dips 10 3 x 8
Row 50 x 5 55 x 5 60 x 5 65 x 5 65 x 5 = can't go any higher as my form drops
Biecp 21's 2 x 21 on 30 HARD~!!!!
At the library trying to type but my arms are caining!!!
Thinking about changing my routine slightly and focus on 3 x 8 sets hmmmmm

Im probely not the best person to comment on this mate as im not the most experienced trainer out there
But i personally couldnt do deads and squats in the same session, i wouldnt be able to walk for the next week if i did
Maybe -
mon - back / bi's
wed - chest / tri's
fri - legs / shoulders
not the most original but it breaks the 3 main compounds up over the week ie. deads - mon, bench - wed and squats - fri.
Use 3 x 8 with maybe a couple of warm up sets on the bigger lifts eg. deads.
Just a thought, im sure roots or others will have futher suggestions.

squat and deadlift once per week at opposite ends of the week.
and bob is your uncle
i think squats 3 times per week was fantastic for you as a new trainer aiming to build mass and take advantage of 'newbie gains' and hats off to you for sticking to it as 99% of new trainers would much sooner do some curls 3 times a week. Lets be honest now though you are no longer a new trainer and are starting to move some impressive weights, with this in mind i think it's trime to drop the squats and DL's back to 1 or 2 times a week max, i think you will find good results from this change in strength, recovery and mass gained.
