Great baseline #'s.

Looking forward to seeing what they (and you) morph into

What's the reasoning behind the liver tabs?

Old trick used by Vince Gironda to keep aminos, B vitamins and other goodies floating around.

Works quite well for those that have tried it

Any problem if I start the workouts tomorrow? Today is the fourth day of feast, but it's fall break and I kinda wanna go fishin.

You're good to go. You have my blessings

Caught me a slab! Excited about the workout tomorrow! I think some fish is on the menu in the future.

I have no idea what a slab is but congratulations. Beats coming up empty. That's what my Dad told me whenever all I caught were pumpkin seeds

A slab is slang for any BIG panfish. Yesterday it was a 14" crappie. I'm callin it big cause that's the biggest crappie I've ever caught. I went home with seven so that should feed a few people.

Workout yesterday:

Bench 275x9, little help on 10, forced rep on 11, then a slow negative.

DB pullover 65x8. I haven't done those in FOREVER.

Squat 315x12 then a negative. I probably had a few more in me, but form was breaking down so I called it good.

Straight leg 225x12...shoulda gone heavier, I usually do those after doing a lot of other leg stuff, but I was in a hurry. I'll have to up it good next time.

I guess I missed the EDT block. I feel like an idiot.

Hey man, no worries.

We're here to learn. That goes for me too. Tell me how that long head of the tricep is feeling tomorrow from those pullover, K ?

Ok, I'm confused again. I just re-read it. In The Blueprint! it says

- Bench press for as many as you can get in the 8-10 rep range
- Immediately perform a set of heavy dumbell pullovers* (8-10 reps).
- Focus on maximally stretching the muscle at the bottom of the movement.
* Should be performed on a SLIGHT incline bench. If using an adjustable bench,
incline it one notch.
- Squats for as many reps as you can get in the 8-10 rep range
- Followed immediately by a set of stiff legged or Dimel deadlifts (8-10 reps).
- Focus on maximally stretching the muscle at the bottom of the movement.
That's your whole workout, so put 100% into your work sets!

do I do an EDT block also?

Yes. Here is an example of my first Feast workout -

FEAST WORKOUT #1

Bench Press - 8x135, 4x155, 9x195
DB Pullover - 10x50

EDT BLOCK #1
Incline DB press - 6x50, 6x50, 6x50, 6x50, 6x50
DB rows - 6x65, 6x65, 6x65, 6x65, 6x65
60 total sets

Squats - 8x135, 4x225, 9x265
Straight-legged Deadlifts - 8x185

EDT BLOCK #2
Deadlifts - 6x145, 6x145, 6x145, 6x145, 6x145
Leg Sled - 7x210, 6x210, 6x210, 6x210, 6x210
61 total sets

**green color = warmup**

I personally liked doing the EDT Blocks in between Bench and Squat, but Rob recommends doing Bench ---> Squats ---> EDT Block #1 ---> EDT Block #2, that way you are pouring all of your effort into the Bench and Squats. But ultimately it is up to you, and whatever works best.
