Is this basically the first five days?
Day 1
Bench Press (Warm-Up) 2 x 10 (light)
Bench Press 1 x 8-10 w/ Dumbbell Pullover 1 x 8-10
Squat (Warm-Up) 2 x 10 (light)
Squat 1 x 8-10 w/ Stiff Legged Deadlift 1 x 8-10
A. After the BB lifts are completed for bench, you'd proceed to these EDT blocks for the following:
Incline DB press
Tbar rows
Incline DB curl
Lying tricep extension
After the big BB movement for the squat, you'd finish with this EDT block:
Romanian Deadlifts
Leg Sled
DONE!
Day 2
Bench Press (Warm-Up) 2 x 10 (light)
Bench Press 1 x 4-6 w/ Dumbbell Pullover 1 x 4-6
Squat (Warm-Up) 2 x 10 (light)
Squat 1 x 4-6 w/ Stiff Legged Deadlift 1 x 4-6
A. Same EDT additional work, but you repeat with the same weight and GET MORE REPS in the same time period!
DONE!
Day 3
Bench Press (Warm-Up) 2 x 10 (light)
Bench Press 1 x 2-3 w/ Dumbbell Pullover 1 x 2-3
Squat (Warm-Up) 2 x 10 (light)
Squat 1 x 2-3 w/ Stiff Legged Deadlift 1 x 2-3
A. Same EDT comments as above
DONE!
Day 4
Bench Press (Warm-Up) 2 x 10 (light)
Bench Press 1 x 6-8 w/ Dumbbell Pullover 1 x 6-8
Squat (Warm-Up) 2 x 10 (light)
Squat 1 x 6-8 w/ Stiff Legged Deadlift 1 x 6-8
A. Same EDT comments as above, except the EDT blocs are optional here - recall it is a deload workout so if you're in the mood - either cuts the sets in half or skip it altogether. Your body will tell you what's right..try and listen to it!
DONE!
Day 5
Bench Press (Warm-Up) 2 x 10 (light)
Bench Press 1 x 1 RM w/ Dumbbell Pullover 1 x 5 RM
Squat (Warm-Up) 2 x 10 (light)
Squat 1 x 5 RM w/ Stiff Legged Deadlift 1 x 5 RM
A. Finish with same EDT workouts as described in workouts 1-3 but again, moving more total reps!
DONE!
-After I am done the workout above am I able to do some other compound lifts for other body part? (ie. Shoulder Press, Shrugs, Barbell Curls, Close Grip Bench, Wrist Curls)
A. Suggest covering these in the EDT blocks I mentioned. I don't like wasting lots of time on "smaller" muscle groups but you may differ. If you have the time/energy/recovery ability by all means address via EDT work.
Take 2-3 days off and begin the GLP workouts based upon your new 1RM
-For GLP,
Day 1
Bench Press 6 x 10, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8
Day 2
Squat 6 x 10, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8
Day 3
Bench Press 6 x 10, 8, 6, 6, 6, 6
Day 4
Squat 6 x 10, 8, 6, 6, 6, 6
Day 5
Bench Press 6 x 10, 8, 6, 4, 4, 4
Day 6
Squat 6 x 10, 8, 6, 4, 4, 4
- Rest at least three minutes between sets
- What lifts do I do after BP and SQ; I see a lot about EDT and how it is done, but I just don't know what exercises to do on what days. I know in GLP I do stretch position movement after GLP, but I don't know what it is, the exercises, and the sets and reps.
A. OK for your GLP weights/sets/reps please use this EXCELLENT tool brought to us by DropTheBeats!!

Now for your stretch position movements AFTER the GLP work suggest the following be incorporated:
- For upper body day... suggest you address the stretch position movments via an EDT block:
Wide grip decline barbell or DB pressess paired with..
Dumbell pullovers.
Refer to the EDT sticky above for set/rep/weight recommendations.
- For your lower body day suggest EDT block with the following
The stiff legged deadlift paired with
The hack squat OR leg extension
Refer to the EDT sticky above for set/rep/weight recommendations.
These EDT blocks will maximize efficiency insofar as total tonnage, intensity and density while incorporating a quality stretch position movment (DB pullovers for upper body/stiff legged deads for lower body) all in one shot!
If you have the time/energy, by all means you can incorporate additional work. If you do, I'd highly suggest a static hold of some sort.
For upper body: Consider 1-2 holds of 5-10 sec duration in the strongest range in the DECLINE bench press with a BARBELL as a finisher.
For the lower body: Consider 1-2 holds of 5 sec duration in the strongest range in the TOP RANGE rack pull.
