Well it's me again 
Anyways I'm pleased to announce that I made a full recovery from yesterday and did a workout, turns out all I needed was some more salt as I looked at my diet and was suprised that I was lacking in it, no matter now I'm drinking a glass of tomato juice a day and adding sodium through other ways as well. Now to the workout part!
Workout #5, 6-6-07
Lifts in Wieght/Reps/Sets format. *(Means that its a personal record)
1.Squat 95x5x3*
2.Bench 115x5x3*
3.Deadlift 95x5x3*
Comments: Was very pleased with how today turned out, I made a full recovery, increased all the weight over past workouts and had very good form. I just consider myself lucky that I didn't listen to a person in the gym that said I shouldn't squat deep cause it's bad for my knees cause tell you what I'm squatting deep! (Also said to use smith machine 'till I become balanced, screw that my balance is fine and even if it wasn't using heavier weights to learn balance is a bad idea!)
Anyways I'm very thankful that I found this website and that people gave me so much info to start me on the right track, probably would still be doing rubbish if I hadn't.
Also I weighed myself and I was at 187lbs, an increase of 5lbs over last time, so thats pretty cool, I just hope I can keep increasing it!

Workout #6 6-9-07
Weight: 185lbs, well I'm steadily weighing about 3-5lbs heavier then I was two weeks ago so I think I am gaining weight, still 15lbs heavier is my goal which might adjust it when I reach it If I feel like bulking more.
Warmed up by biking/brisk walking for about 10 minutes.
1.Squats, 45x5, 105x5x3, Did a warmup squat set just to make sure my legs where in good shape, the squats themselves felt good, went deep without any problems and had decent power.
2.Military Press, 75x5, 70x5, 65x5, Progressively lowered the weight as I was getting a little shaky at the end of each set.
3.Barbell Rows, 95x5x3, No problems there, felt it working on my abs though.
Extra stuff: 10 Needlesize Situps, 10 Hanging Leg-ups.
I think I am making good progress, I have trained for 2 weeks now and I have made a few mistakes but have since corrected them I wonder how far I can go on this program before I stall and have to move to the intermediate 5x5 program.
Anyways I have made more progress in week 2 then I did in week 1 so it's a good sign, I Just hope I don't stall in any of the leg lifts for awhile, arm lifts are expected to stall until I have a strong back/legs.

Ah, and as to this... I'm kind of stuck walking 15+ miles a day for my job, and although it's taken me about 5 months to get used to it I now have quite a bit of energy left over after work, so thats why I turned to weight lifting to bulk up some and increase my weight to about 200lbs which is only about 15lbs heavier then I am now, don't want to get to heavy though as I to much weight will slow me down to much.

I'm a cartpusher at Walmart currently, I'm Walking around constantly for 7 1/2 - 8 hours a day, I usually average 2-3 miles an hour although I have walked up to 5 in a very busy hour before.
So basically my minimums, 7.5x2=15 miles, some days I do quite a bit more though.
Workout #7 6-11-07
Nothing impressive today, just am doing a slightly lighter load because I'm hoping I will recover faster, last time I did deads it took me two days to recover so thats why, did have abit of extra energy so I targeted the abs as well though.
Squat, 95x5x3, nice and deep... almost coudn't pull myself out of the hole on the very last rep and set.
Bench, 95x5x3, Did a fairly light bench, no point in killing my arms if my legs arn't strong, not going to Bench more until I can squat more.
Deadlift, 95x5x3, Felt good, felt my leg abductors being worked.
Also for abs I did
10x2 Dip leg raised (hold myself up on dip bar and do leg raises since I'm to tall for the normal one)
10x2 Cable Crunches
10x2 Needsize Sit-Ups
10 Reverse Sit-ups
Right now I feel pretty good, hoping I don't feel to thrashed on Wednesday.

Workout #8 6-13-07
By far the sweatiest workout I've had in a while, the weights I used were fairly difficult but I managed and I am continuing to work on form, perfecting it is pretty hard.
Warmup: Walked 2/10ths of a mile and rode a gym bike for 3 miles or about 9 minutes.
Squat, 45x5, 100x5x3: Now I am happy with my squatting form managing to go deep every rep.
Military Press, 45x5, 70x5x3: Was pretty shakey on some of the last reps, need to get more stabilized, no more ab work for me for awhile.
Barbell Rows, 105x5, 95x5x2: Due to my legs having extreme difficulty holding the position for barbell rows after the first set I used a small platform today. My form however was exactly the same just my legs were in a more upright position. It did however let me focus on the lift more.

Workout #9 6-15-07
Well today didn't go so smooth, did my squats as normal and actually had less difficulty then last time, and then went to bench and did them fine, but it was deads that got me, I started out on them and managed to get 3 up decently but on my 4th one I completely stalled out, so I decided to lower the weight and managed to get 5 more up but I was still having difficulty so I decided to end the workout early, I guess I need a few days of rest now. Will return to the gym Tuesday hopefully stronger then ever.
BTW it's my leg abductors, guess their not used to all this lifting.
Anyways workout stats.
Warmup: 5 minutes on bike, 5 minutes on incline treadmill.
Squats: 45x8 (warmup), 100x5x2, 95x5x1
Bench: 105x5x3
Deadlift: 105x3, 85x5
I edited because I actually remember lowering the weight on squats by 5lbs because the low end was giving me trouble and I thought that would help, it did but points to me needing rest I think, so I'll stick to my plan and not workout until tuesday.
