synth's 5 x 5 log

So I finally remade my account because, for some reason, my old one would not allow me to post. All along I thought posting was reserved for platinum members.

Anyway, I have been on this 5x5 for about 7 weeks now with great results. My lifts have gone up about 50 lbs each in working sets, and I have gained nearly 20 lbs.

I was already in good shape, but this has given me a great increase in lower body mass and all of my lifts have increased dramatically.

Two weeks ago, I go calipered and it said my BF% was 6.3. I feel this is slightly inaccurate, but it's a decent estimate. I am 21 years old, 71 inches tall, and last week I weighed in at 204 lbs.

My diet is difficult for me because my school serves shit food, but I do what I can outside of the three squares a day they give me.

I generally eat something like the following:

Breakfast:
4 packets of oatmeal
1 container of yogurt
1 cup skim milk
sometimes some eggs or some peanut butter (not ANPB because it's not down at meal tables)

945ish:
2 scoops dymatize recoup, 10 oz skim milk
This is
423 calories, 7g fat, 30g protein, 60g carbs. + 10g protein and a few carbs from the milk

Lunch:
Whatever they serve, but I try to just eat a balanced meal

Pre workout:
10 oz skim milk
1 scoop whey
50g maltodextrin
5g creatine monohydrate

Post workout:
1 serving phosphagen elite (creatine + 30g dextrose)
An additional 45g dextrose

Dinner: (about 1 hour later)
Whatever they serve, but I try to just eat a balanced meal and a good amount of it

Between dinner and bed:
Either some more dymatize recoup or
1 serving almonds
10 oz skim milk or 1 scoop whey

Before bed:
10 oz milk
1 scoop whey

If I wake up to piss:
10 oz milk
1 scoop whey

Its hard for me to give my totals here, because I dont really know exactly, I just know they are high.

This week I am resting for my powerlifting meet on saturday... but here is a log of last wednesday and last friday's lifts:

I have been upping my working sets 10 lbs per week until now, but unfortunately, the meet has me at a halt.


All of my squats are ATG, and unless I report otherwise, everything is done with what I consider perfect form.

Wednesday:

Squat -
135 x 5
170 x 5
205 x 5
205 x 5

Military -
100 x 5
120 x 5
135 x 5
155 x 5

Deads -
245 x 5
295 x 5
345 x 5
395 x 5


Friday:

Squat - (these all went up fairly easy)
135 x 5
170 x 5
205 x 5
235 x 5
280 x 3
205 x 8

Bench - (the heaviest set was a little tough, but not failure)
135 x 5
170 x 5
205 x 5
235 x 5
280 x 3
205 x 8

Row - (90 degree bent over, stiff legs)
96 x 5
120 x 5
145 x 5
170 x 5
200 x 3 (pretty hard)
145 x 8

After suiting up with weeks, I have gotten 355 x 1 on bench with a bench shirt on, but it was a sloppy lockout. Also, I squatted 385 for one with no problem at all with a squat suit and knee wraps.
 
Don't forget to mention that I am the one who showed you the 5x5!

And you didn't give any stats for those meals they serve you in that hell hole...all 1500 calories of it for lunch and what was dinner again? 2000?

okay, now for some pics...

I'm terrible at posing, but I tried. And in my opinion, the lighting wasn't too flattering.









Keep in mind I am all natural and I'm trying to bulk right now.
 
Here's an important question that came to mind which I hope someone will answer.

After my meet on saturday in which I will only make three attempts for each exercise, should I back my 5 x 5 up a week, or just press on where I left off. I should also note that spring break is in two weeks, and like it or not, that basically means a week off from 5 x 5
 
well... I figured there would be someone out there with some knowledgeable advice. Am I looking in the wrong place or does nobody care to take the time to answer?
