This workout still feels amazing. I felt strong while doing it even though I was kind of tired heading to the gym. Honestly, I thought my workout was going to suffer but it turns out once I got going I found my head of steam. Again, I could have lifted a little more weight but I'm still a week away from matching PRs so I don't want to rush the program and top out too soon. My body is taking the beating a little better this week and I'm not as sore after!
"Gumby" is probably the best word to describe the physical make-up of an ectomorph--long, stringy, thin, flat-chested, narrow shoulders, and pencil legs. Unfortunately for me my mom and dad unknowingly decided to pass the skinny genes on to me...Thanks guys. But, I do believe that all is not lost. By eating enough food and hitting the weights correctly we ectomorphs can better our builds! This is my attempt to do so.

Workout 5 (5/31)
Squats
135x5, 195x5, 230x5, 230x5
Military Press
65x5, 85x5, 105x5, 125x5
Deadlift
185x5, 225x5, 265x5, 305x5
Chinups: 9 reps, using hold method on last rep
The presses were tough today, but my deadlifts felt strong! I should definitely be hitting 315 next week and setting up to break some personal records (PRs) without the use of chalk, straps, wrist straps, gloves, or any other aid in lifting. I've been eating big and 95% clean foods which has been paying off. I'm still having some trouble sleeping, but this is normal for me and not any indication of overtraining (my lifts are all getting stronger and I have no other signs). I'm ready to hit some more deads next week!
