Sorry i got so busy and forgot to update this.

Today was Day 7 of Feast

Weight 163.5 (+ 6.5 lb)

Weight is rising nicely. Around day 10 I will start to taper my calories back down a little.

I did workout #1 on 10/20;
BB Bench - 160 x 9
DB Pullover - 40 x 10
EDT #1
Incline DB Press - 50 x (total of 29 reps)
BB Rows - 115 x (32 reps)
= 61 total reps EDT #1

BB Squats - 160 x 10
SLDL - 135 x 10
EDT#2
BB Curls - 75 x (28 reps)
Tricep BB Overhead Extensions - 55 x (36 reps)
= 64 total reps EDT #2

Workout #2 (Tonight)
BB Bench - 175 x 5
DB Pullover - 50 x 6
EDT #1
Incline DB Press - 50 x (33 reps)
BB Rows - 115 x (35 reps)
= 68 total reps EDT #1

BB Squat - 170 x 6
SLDL - 145 x 6
EDT #2
BB Curls - 75 x (31 reps)
Tricep Overhead BB Extension - 55 x (42 reps)
= 73 total reps EDT #2


Overall I feel excellent. Especially workout #2 doing the EDT blocks. I felt strong as ever.

If I had to critique my workout it would be to focus getting full ROM on bench press. When I do my warmups I have no problem, but adding weight I do. I feel I have gotten better. Some people I watch bench are very sloppy. I feel I have good form, but I dont always touch the barbell to my chest (Maybe 1" from it). I could just be being too hard on myself....

My squat form used to be horrible, so I basically started all over with them a while back to correct my form. I am getting better and it's becoming more natural. This is a lift I expect to really shoot up in weight here soon.

One tip on the bench (warmups) as this may very well help you:

Wow, my bad on the updates. Getting ready to move, and I have been very busy, but still doing my workouts.

Today is Day 13 of Feast
Weight is 163.5 (+6.5)

Workout #3 Sunday 10/24
BB Bench - 185 x 3
DB Pullover 50x4
EDT #1
Incline DB Press - 50
BB Rows - 110
- total of 78 reps (= increase in weight for next workout)

BB Squat - 180 x 3
SLDL - 150 x 3
EDT #2
BB Curls - 75
Tricep Ext - 55
- total of 75 reps

Workout #4 Wednesday 10/27
BB Bench - 170 x 6
DB Pullover 50 x 8
EDT #1
Incline DB Press - 55
BB Rows - 115
- total of 57 reps

BB Squat - 170 x 8
SLDL - 145 x 6
EDT #2
BB Curls - 75
Tricep Ext - 55
- total of 87 reps (= increase weight next workout)

My EDT blocks continue to increase. I had an awesome chest pump after this last workout. My weight seems to have leveled off. I will start to drop calories off a little from around 20x weight to 18x weight to minimize the fat gain.

Also, I have decided to continue on to the GLP process after this next workout instead of doing the Periodic. Since I am moving, I feel this route will be smoother to do especially being real busy and having to find a gym. I will do the Periodic in the future though!
