I have decided to drop the daily squats and reduce deadlifting to every third day rather than every other day due to adding in some running, set up will more than likely be as below

Day 1 - Squats - 1 set AMRAP @ 75% of 1rm
Day 2 - Squats - light day probably 2 sets of 3 reps @ 75% of 1rm
Day 3 - Deads - 1 set AMRAP @ 75% of 1rm
Day 4 - Squats - 1 set of 5 reps @ 85% of 1rm
Day 5 - Squats - as day 2
Day 6 - Deads - 1 set of 5 reps @ 85% of 1rm
Day 7 - Squats - 1 set of 2/3 reps @ 90% of 1rm
Day 8 - Squats - as day 2
Day 9 - Deads - 1 set of 2/3 reps @ 90% of 1rm
Day 10 - Squats - 1 single @ 95% of 1rm, occasionally will follow this with a new 1rm attempt
Day 11 - Squats - as day 2
Day 12 - Deads - 1 single @ 95% of 1rm, occasionally will follow this with a new 1rm attempt

Repeat

Coming to the end of SD and training starts back up on Saturday, decided to change things slightly where I will now be working working backwards from my 5rm in 2.5% increments starting week 1 @ 60% of 5rm, exercises will be the same a last cycle (Day 1 Supinated Chins and Dips, Day 2 Neutral Grip Chins and OH Press and repeat) and will look as follows, will possibly have one rest day per week but knowing me will just plough on with no rest days.

Edit

------
Starting with activation set of 25 reps @ 60% of 5 rep max followed by 2 or 3 myo rep sets of 5 reps (depending on how I feel on the day) until 25 reps cannot be achieved then dropping to activation set of 20 reps followed by 2 or 3 myo rep sets of 4 reps until 20 reps cannot be achieved then dropping to activation set of 15 reps followed by 2 or 3 myo sets of 3 reps until 15 reps cannot be achieved then dropping to 10 reps followed by 2 or 3 myo sets of 2 reps until 10 reps cannot be achieved then it will be 10 reps (cluster sets) increasing load until 5 reps not achieved, once all exercises have stalled at fewer than 5 reps I will retest 25, 20, 15 and 10 rep maxes (single set so no myo reps) followed by SD
------

Squats and Deadlifts will be as posted recently, see below

Day 1 - Squats - 1 set AMRAP @ 75% of 1rm
Day 2 - Squats - light day probably 2 sets of 3 reps @ 75% of 1rm

Weekly weigh in - Friday 19 February 2016

182.6lbs / 82.83kgs - down 1.2lbs / 0.54kgs

Average nett (after cardio) daily calorie intake - 2569 = last weeks body weight x 13.98
Average gross (before cardio) daily calorie intake - 2728 = last weeks body weight x 14.85

Note - was not supposed to lose weight this week as it was SD and at nett calorie intake of ~14 x body weight I would have thought my weight would have been stable, maybe the daily running (1.2 miles for approx 10/11 minutes) has a bigger impact on caloric intake than the suggested 130-140 kcals per mile burnt while running.

average daily macros (c/p/f are from food only)

carbs @ 30.2% (206g)
protein @ 39.4% (269g)
fats @ 30.4% (92g)
alcohol @ 0%
