Wow, great work!! You really did your reading...
A few notes/clarifications:
"Add packet of salt to each meal" - Unclear as to how much a packet is. No need to add it to each meal. I'm just suggesting a higher sodium intake vs. Famine i.e. a few shakes of salt on 2-3 of your solid food meals. That's all... I don't recommend any type of sodium loading as that could be detrimental to your health.
Your feast workouts 1-5 look good. Note though that these are full range movements and not static holds. Also, you'll want to incorporate EDT blocks AFTER the big barbell lifts are completed. You may add a static hold here or there during Feast.

Other than that, I APPRECIATE the work you put into it!!

Day 1
Fast until 2pm: 15-20 cucumber slices and small box of pineapple juice
Pre-Workout 4pm: Medium apple and serving of almonds (24)
Workout (in pounds*)
Squat SS w/ DB Rows: 3 sets of 6 reps at 225 (squat) & 70 (Rows)
Seated cable rows SS w/ Chinups: 3 sets of 6 reps at 70 (cable rows)
BB Curls: 3 sets of 6 at 85
Incline DB Curls: 3 sets of 6 at 40
Preacher Curls on EZ bar with wide grip: 3 sets of 6 at 25 on each side
Post-workout 1745: Large lettuce salad w/ cucumbers & broccoli, small cup of grape juice, and medium pear
Snack 8pm: kiwi w/ skin (skin for nutrients and vitamins )
Pre-Bed:2 tbsp of organic PB
I was hurtin' at 2pm so i threw a snack in there which i know isnt a bad thing but i wanted to see if i could stick it out. i NEEDED the nutrition so i didnt necessarily feel bad about it. Other than that, this is going to be an intense 5 days that oddly enough i am looking forward to haha.
Just wondering if on my off days i should do cardio in the a.m. and snack small throughout the day or warrior till the afternoon then do cardio like on workout days.

Cardio before the big meal sounds better anyway.
After reading over the EDT information, i still think that i'm a little confused so here's what i came up with. the following will be my german loading pattern to be done twice a week in feast. i am just confused on when to add the edt block in there (if this is correct).
Workout 1: DB Pullovers (for prescribed sets and reps)
Workout 2:Cable Rows (for prescribed sets and reps)
Workout 3:Hack Squat (for prescribed sets and reps)
Workout 4:Leg Press (for prescribed sets and reps)
Workout 5:OH Tri Ext (for prescribed sets and reps)
Workout 6:Preachers (for prescribed sets and reps)
this is what i came up with from the german loading pattern. From what i understand, EDT is to be done in a superset fashion but what i dont understand is how to pair the exercises, how many sets/reps should be done, and where to place the EDT block.
if you can tell me these 3 things i think i will have everything down for when i start feast.

how to pair the exercises, how many sets/reps should be done, and where to place the EDT block...
A. The exercises are best paired in antagonistic fashion. Examples:
Chest/back
Bi's/Tris
Quads/Hams
etc.
How many sets/reps?
A. Begin with a weight that allows you to perform 10 clean reps. On your first set, do not go to (or near failure). Suggest 5-7 clean reps. Do your two jump sets, rest 2 min and repeat. First workout it's not important how many reps/how much weight you move. It IS important to establish a baseline. Then beat that baseline next workout.
Please see "How to contruct EDT blocks" in this section for more info (assuming you already haven't).
Where to place the EDT Blocks?
A. AFTER the big barbell work...
Hope that helps!

Day 2
Fast until 2pm: 25 cucumber slices and small box of pineapple juice
Pre-Workout 4:45pm: Medium apple and serving of almonds (24)
Cardio:
15 minutes of HIIT on Treadmill: 1min run & 30sec sprint
Post-workout 1745: Lettuce salad w/ cucumbers, collard greens, 1 whole grain roll with tbsp of omega 3 butter, small cup of grape juice, and 20 grapes
Snack 8pm: Medium Pear
Pre-Bed:2 tbsp of organic PB
Fasting today was even worse than yesterday but i know i'm doing good so it doesn't bother me as much..I am definately dropping weight and i THINK my love handles are slowly disappearing but i'll have to work hard to keep them off come feast time. I'm not over weight by any means but i was always lean and couldnt get rid of those darned love handles.
Does anyone recommend anything for my feast diet to stay away from or to add in order shed the last bit of belly fat besides cardio? i can see my top 4 abs so i know im close!
I got this !
