Day 5

Just got back from the gym, and I feel pretty good. Today marks the fist week of my GOMAD plan. Today could have gone better, but I am not too upset. I weight in @ 206.5 once again, but I look a lot better in the mirror today. I don't look or feel as bloated as I did the last few days. I think my weight gain could have been much better if it was not Ramadan right now. This means that I cannot drink water, or eat any food during sunrise to sun set. I have tried my best to compensate by waking up at different hours of the night to drink my milk and eat 4 meals...but I failed last night by not being able to wake-up when the alarm went on. I only got 2 meals in and I 1/2 gallon of milk. Any ways this is what I was able to do today.

Squats 2*5@ 135 and 1*15 @ 250
I said on Tuesday that I would do 245 again, but my ego would not let me, and I ended up crashing on the 16th rep. I think if I was not so freaking hungry and thirsty than I may have been able to do it.

Pullovers 1*20 @ 30lb...all the 25 were gone :(

Stiffleg Deadlift 2*10 @135

Calves 3*20 @ 360

Lat Pull Down 3*10 @ 145

Rows 3*10 @ 160

The squats are definitely getting harder to do right now. But they seem to be affecting my lower back a little more. My form is correct, its just that holding that much weight without any belts for that long can be grueling.
