I did the workout alright! And I did well.. I think. This is what I did:

Squats 65 lb
Press 30 lb
Deadlift 110 lb
Dumbbell Press 25 lb

I know I shouldn't be mixing stuff up with 5x5, but well, the reason is that I don't feel enough of what I want to feel. And Mehdi, being the educated informant that he is, has warned it times and again that exercise and workouts is not about feeling sore, it's about growing strong and fit, but well, what can I do? I wanted my pump. I am struggling with two of my exercises - rowing and press - and it is these that I do extra. And if I think about it, I am doing exactly the opposite of what I should. The flawed reasoning says workout these muscles more so you get more stronger next workout. But the truth is, since I am increasing weight every workout, I need to give my muscles enough time to recover, hence I shouldn't be doing anything extra if I want to complete my sets well. That also means nothing extra for biceps as well.

From tomorrow onward, I won't do anything extra. And if I need the 'feel' I will make my form even more strict. That's what I will do.
