Notes:
HS = Heavy Single (Work up to a heavy single. If you miss twice, you're done with that lift... so don't miss!)
OHS = Overhead Squat (probably easiest to unrack it behind the neck and jerk it up from there)
SLDL = Stiff Legged Dead Lift ( http://catalystathletics.com/exercises/exercise.php?exerciseID=86 )
se numbers are "by feel". If you can't do it with good form, drop the weight a little until you can do it with good form,
d make a note below the workout. Also note how you feel, misses, etc. Try to take a rest day between day 4 and 5.
