You are giving the template a go then 
blame the Russians
Interestingly I often found the supposedly harder day easier, and that the lower rep one kind of served as anactive recovery day. All the sets where a big help for me, as it forced me to improve my setup, finding the same on bench now too

yes giving it a go mate cheers. Early days yet but 2nd was easier than 1st, hope that continues!
Already i think the reps will help my nonexistent squat form, we shall see.

It helped mine a lot, especially setting up and walking out. Made me think about form a lot more, and feel so much the better of it
Training is looking good Robert, sounds like you have a good plan in place so no doubt big PBs ahead!

Get yourself some Cissus for the bicep pain, and get some friction work done on it.
I had major problems with it earlier in the year, couldn't even do warmups OH, the combination of that got me through the North Isles comp and a good result in the OH at the Scottish final. Nothad any problems since either.
As for the squats, like I said before, you might find session 1 harder each week because you are just recovering from the harder one, but it makes session 2 easier. It did for me anyway. Think its going to be punishing on deads

Aye deads be solid davy!
I give cissus a go but whats friction work???
Try anything tho, want to squat, jus started again for a week or two and thats the pain started. You forget how bad it gets til it comes back again.
Friction work is massage along the tendon, where the friction of the massage helps break down buildups of toxins and stimulates bloodflow to promote recovery.
If you see a good sports physio they will be able to help, an NHS one will probably be a waste of time and make it worse if they are the same as here.
Are you squatting low bar? Mine flared up worse when I did that as I was supporting the bar with the arms, but using a mid bar possition now and its much more comfortable.
