Initial wiegth gain from heavy lifting

Options
This week i just went to 5x5 lift program from 3x15. As you might expect I really felt the difference. My weight popped up about 5 lbs and now has returned to normal.. I'm guessing it was inflamation? Has has anyone else experienced this?

    Water retention from muscle exertion :)
