Should I up the weights on EDT? Or continue using the same weights

Once you've achieved a 20% increase in reps (from your fist workout), add 5% to the weight used.

There's your barometer

Quick question:
Will do my 1RM on Friday.. my question is.. should I do the EDT sets on my Max day [friday]? and.. i'm planning on doing something similar to this..

Bench: 5x135, 1x185, 1x205, 1x225, 1x245, 1x255, 1x275, 1x285 and up 10 pounds each time.. similar with squats, deadlifts.. etc

does this look okay?

the weight is probably just a large korean BBQ baby waiting to exit.. if you know what im sayin

Looking and feeling lean speaks well (really well) to a recomp and it's only going to accelerate once your next diet phase comes in..

Satisfy those 1RM PR's first, then proceed to EDT IF you have the energy. Is this being all done on one day?

If so that's a tall order. But again, if you have the energy do the EDT blocks AFTER the 1RM is satisfied. That goes for all 3 big lifts. Meaning get all your PR's first in the compounds.

Then proceed to EDT to finish the workout. Boy I envy you younger guys...
