hmmm.... do u know your max for bb deadlift? So what i see so far is deadlift pretty heavy on workout1 with bent over rows, then DL pretty heavy again for workout 2 with 3 day rest?? Muscles recover fast but its the CNS you gotta watchout for.

It's very helpful to know your % on all your major lifts so you allow recovery.

For me, I actually omitted some of the deadlifts in 3.0, not only because of my injury, but because i learned from my injury to pay attention and not follow EVERYTHING BY THE BOOK. I got injured because I was following a program blow by blow that basically forces me to do squats, dl, and bent ovr rows in the same workout 3 days a week! Looking back is very funny I didn't pick up on that.

anyways, I prefer to only deadlift once a week, no more than 3 reps for any set and never part of an edt block, same for squats.
I prefer perform accessory work such as high rep good mornings with just the bar (better to put into an EDT block than a DL IMHO), hyperextensions weighted and BW only, neck work (check out spud inc neck trainer!), forearm (check out ironmind captain of crush), glute/ham raise, single leg deadlift, and also allow me to extol the virtues of the spud oblique and long ab straps. If you ain't got those straps bro, you're missing out!!!!

So far looks cool though!

Thank you for commenting. My max DL is 385lbs. I don't know the percentages, I'm just assuming that with each workout, less reps are required, so logically I would have to go heavier. I hear you on the CNS recovery, I think DL once a week is in order from now on!

Bent-over rows are being done the day after DL, since my EDTs are done separate from my workouts.

For Workout #4 in feast I deviated from the BP and did a little isolation work for my chest, arms, and abs. It was a deload day anyway so I'm not worried. Soon I'll do my 1 rep max and plug it into the GLP#1.
