Ah ok sounds good, hopefully that comes today

Ive got the eating part down just fine haha. After cutting for 3 months, then going into famine, this eating in feast is just awesome it is hard to not eat too much.

Since I can't bench I wanted to throw chest into an EDT block, so I have a few questions about that:

1) Is an EDT block of pec flyes/lat pulldowns OK?
2) Since I dont have the bench/pullovers in, is it OK to throw in a couple extra sets(Not EDT blocks) of muscles I didn't work that day?

Feast Workout #3

Warmup Squat(135x5,185x4,245x3, 295x1)

Squat 295x3 <--Was expecting to get 2 reps barely, but got 3 without too much trouble so I counted that as a last warmup

Squat 305x3 <--I probably could have done one more, definitely a new PR, since last workout 275x5 was a PR
Stiff-leg DL 225x3

EDT #1
Curl 105x6,5,4,3,3,2
Skullcrusher 40lb DBsx6,5,4,3(last rep bad form),3(last rep bad form), 3

Total Reps=47

EDT #2
Lat Pulldown(Close grip, supinated) 135x6,5,4,4,4,4
Pec Flyes(Machine) 150x6,4,4,3,3,3

Total Reps=50

Feeling pretty good about this now, I find it hard to eat a lot of lifting days, yet too easy to eat a lot on the off days. Currently at 1660cals/170g protein today, I believe my maintenance is about 2200, so I will aim for 2700 today. My right pec/inner shoulder is still messed up, I didnt aggravate it or anything but still have a slight pain, I still plan to rest it throughout the rest of this BP run except for the pec flyes.

New PR's!

Fantastic man, and you had gas left on some. Proud of you

Yeah those PRs are awesome, this is the first time in my life I have enjoyed doing squats, my favorite workout now actually.

As I read some other journals I notice not everyone does what I think is the standard feast workout + 2 EDT blocks, maybe it isn't the standard and I just thought it was. Anyways, do you recommend that for a recomp I continue to do the workout +2 EDT blocks, or workout +1EDT block and a certain amount of sets/reps on just one workout at a time rather than a superset?

Whatever works for you. I like the 2 EDT block format myself...

Plus, new PR's give me LOTS of energy for those 2 EDT blocks, if you know what I mean!

I think I will stick with the 2 EDT blocks. What are your thoughts on doing 2 EDT blocks plus a few individual sets? Should I just go based on how I am feeling at that point?

Hey man, just wanted to let you know you got a good log going and I'm def gonna be following. I'm a little bit behind you right now (just about to finish Famine), and your post-Famine workouts are giving me inspiration!

Keep it up bro!

Yes, listen to your body.... it will tell you when enough is enough.

That's what I was thinking Rob, thanks for clarification.

Cappla thanks man, it is nice to know some people out there are reading this and hopefully learning from it.

We're all here to learn, share and grow.

That goes for me too

Although I did almost all of the reps on EDT blocks, it was still a struggle and a good workout for those muscles, so I didn't adjust weight during the middle of them. I was focused on the form a lot more since it wasn't too heavy, although I will up it next time. I took a break from curls/triceps EDT block today to hopefully smash through it on fridays workout.

EDIT - Very happy after I just checked the scale post workout, I drank 1.75 gallons of water so far today to flush some carb weight out, and came in at 218. At the beginning of famine I was 223.5, so to lose 5.5 pounds and gain strength is awesome, recomp is what I am aiming for.

Feast Workout #4

Warmup Squat(135x4,185x4,225x3,275x1)

Squat 275x8 <--1RM calc of 341, last week I did 305x3 which is 1RM calc of 332.5
SLDL 225x6 (Form was shabby on last two reps, but last week I barely got 3 reps out of that)

EDT #1
DB Row 80sx6,6,6,6,6,6 <--Unfortunately the local HS gym only goes up to 80 for DBs, but at college in 20 days I can get heavier ones
BB Shrugs 225x6,6,6,6,6,6

EDT #2
Leg Press 405x6,6,6,6,6,6 <--Next time I will up it more, but it wasn't easy as I went very deep with them. The leg press machine is weird at this gym, at my old gym I normally would have done this with 550 or more.
Supinated Lat Pulldowns 135x6,6,6,6,5,5

That is terrific!

Congrats on the new PR's and weight loss to boot!

Feast Workout #5

Squat Warmup 135x4,185x4,225x3,275x1,315x1

Squat 315x8 <-- In a state of absolute shock. Spotters said I did 9, but the last one was questionable form, reps 7 and 8 were tough and form slightly off but still went deep. I dont know what to say right now, I was in the zone but god damn, Wednesday I did 275x8(1RM calc 341) and today my 1RM calculates out to 390.6.....I was hoping for 3-5 reps on this set. Thank you Rob is all I can say, and to MuscleMass, are you sure there are no roids in your Kre-Anabolyn/Adaptogen-N?
SLDL 225x6 <-- Same as last week but much better form, I was pretty light headed from these and squats afterwards

EDT#1 (I got what feels like shin splints in my forearms during preachers so I switched to DB halfway)
Preacher Curl 105x6,5,3 THEN 40lb DBs x6,5,5
DB Skullcrushers 40lb DBs x6,6,6,4,4,6

I only did one EDT block, gym is closed sat-monday so I just went and hit everything else hard with:

Wide grip rows 160x5,4 140x5

Supersetted groin machines (Not sure what they are called, you know the girl machines of spreading legs and the other machine of squeezing legs)
170x10/10, 15/15

Cable Flyes(Right shoulder/Outer pec still hurt, wanted to hit them lightly)
140x6,4,4

Strict Shoulder Press(Slight pain in right shoulder, stopped doing this)
110x6

Wrist Curls
135x15

T-Bar Row(Focused on strict form of pinching shoulder blades together, minimized biceps)
85x10

One Legged Calf Raises
BWx50 each leg

WOW!!

That is terrific. Soooo happy for you man. You BLEW AWAY your projected rep totals.

Happy happy going into a 3 day weekend. No thank you necessary. My priviledge to be part of this. You're doing the hard work, I just supply the information..
