First Ever Run of Blueprint (3.0)

Hello, this is my first run of blueprint and still not 100% on everything so any and all advice/tips is welcome.

Just finished a cut and decided to run 3.0/recomp to stay lean for the rest of summer.

Today is my 3rd into Famine. My mind is craving meat and my workout numbers were pretty weak but besides that I feel just fine. Hunger is manageable and feel in good spirits. Suppose to talk to Rob tomorrow and see if I need the 3rd workout or not.

So getting ready for feast next week, I have some ?'s regarding the workouts. There is no direct chest or shoulder work in 3.0 (besides static holds). Rob said I could add some in, but i was looking for some examples of how people have done it before maybe? Thanks!

You should have direct chest work as part of one of your upper body EDT blocks.

If you want more direct shoulder work, you can do an EDT block with three movements. If you check out my log, you'll see that I'm doing an EDT block with shoulders, triceps, and biceps. It works pretty well, but is even a little more brutal than normal.
