Yeah, great call. I find 10lbs a push to be very accurate, at least for me...

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

There's your barometer :)

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...
