It is still pretty easy. Although I definitely fell that I'm using my all body when doing this exercises. It's my first time that i've doing this kind of exercises. Before I always did just isolated ones.

I'm eating a lot. Still didn't count my calorie intake. My diet is basically consists of:
One or two Shakes daily with: Hemp protein, Sunflower seeds, Tahini, Spinach, Spirulina, Dates and two of the: apple/peach/banana
one or two quaker porridge daily - one early at the morning (6 AM) before the workout and one at the evening.
Big salads
Large Pasta or Rice or Quinoa at lunch
About 8 slices of breads a day with Tahini
Large bowl of baked sweet Potato, Zucchini and Onion
Thats about it.

Day 8: 07/26/2011

I'm moving to Kg instead of lbs...it's pretty annoying to convert all the number from Kg to lbs every time

Squat 37.5Kg 5x5 - OK
Overhead Press 27.5Kg 5x5 - OK
Deadlift 55Kg 1x5 - OK - but pretty hard to be honest

Day 9: 07/31/2011

I missed the 07/28 workout.... I just couldn't make it...so instead I continued it in the 07/31

Squats 40Kg 5x5 - OK
Bench Press 30Kg 5x5 - OK
Barbell Rows 40Kg 5x5 - OK - i'm pretty sure that i'm not doing this some right.

Day 10: 08/02/2011

I'm moving to Kg instead of lbs...it's pretty annoying to convert all the number from Kg to lbs every time

Squat 42.5Kg 5x5 - OK
Overhead Press 30Kg 5x5 - OK
Deadlift 60Kg 1x5 - OK - this was a really tough one for me. In the last repetition, I really struggled.

Day 11: 08/04/2011

Squats 45Kg 5x5 - OK
Bench Press 32.5Kg 5x5 - OK
Barbell Rows 42.5Kg 4x5 - OK - I gave up in the last set. I need to watch the clips again to see how to do this exercise the right way and I'm also planning on taking a private lesson soon.

It begins to be interesting for me. And I definitely start to see some minor changes in my muscles . It took time to me to get used to this workout routine, and now i'm starting to like it.
I'm eating quite a lot now, and I gain an extra 1.5kg. But I don't have yet a really planned diet program, beside some basic stuff like a shake after the workout and a big salad which I eat every day.
