GOMAD 5

Yesterday I managed another gallon and it was much easier than it has been.  I also seemd to have gained 3 pounds when I looked at my scale.  But then again I don;t really trust my scale and will double check on my girlfriends digital one.  After two days rest I felt strong yesterday.  I set 5RM PRs in all three lifts squatting 135, benching 124 and power cleaning 105.  Here's what it looked like:

Squat
45x5x2
65x5x2
85x5
105x5
125x5 this felt very easy and got me in a good headspace for 135
135x5x3 on the 2nd set I felt some immediate soreness in my upper outer quad (TFL).   I felt it on the 3rd set too but was able to lift the weight fine.  I rolled it out after the workout and it feels a bit better today but still tight during the concentric motion of the squat.  I will continue to roll it out tonight.

Bench Press
45x5x2
65x5
85x5
105x5
115x5
120x5
124x5x3 I felt strong on all of these.  I have very little experience with bench pressing, I have always leaned on the push up to build my pecs. However, I fell that the groove is getting greased up and I am getting more efficient with the movement and hope to see my numbers continue to rise.

Power Clean
65x5x2
75x5
95x5
105x5x3 I felt great on these.  PR'd by 10 pounds, this movement, much like the Bench Press is getting easier to do and I am becoming more efficient and graceful with it. 

I have just started thi sprogram but I can't help but wonder where it will take me.  I can;t wait for the day I am squatting 200 lbs and deadlifting 300.  I'm probably being optimistic but I would like that to happen in 2 months.  We shall see.
