So I have on week of EDT under my belt, yay!

I’m sure you’re figuring this out now, but EDT really starts to kick my butt starting with the second week. Once you have your PRs set and you try to beat them, you really start to push yourself even harder during your subsequent PR Zones.
It’s a lot of fun though, isn’t it?
Looking forward to your progress.
It IS a lot of fun! It’s an awesome feeling knowing that I completed more work in 15min than I probably would have in a normal routine.
This is my second week, and I haven’t done the same exercise twice though. I guess it would be best to have set exercises in place in order to beat PRs? So far, my goal has just been to get 60 reps per exercise…
But like I mentioned before, I am going to use the WS template for my core exercises, and I will know exactly what to do for the assistance stuff and try to beat it each week…
Should be a blast! 
I have my food all planned out for today…take a look!
I haven’t been posting it cause it’s pretty boring, and I typically eat the same things all the time…
830am- 4 eggwhites
turkey sausage
medium apple
1130-12- 4oz chicken
2 cups strawberries w/all bran buds and yogurt+ 11 almonds
230- beef jerkey
celery w/npb
530-6pm- more chicken
brocoli w/.5 tbsp olive oil

My son is home sick today, and the hubby doesn’t get home til 530pm or so…not sure if I will make my walk, but I have a bunch of goofy cardio videos I can dig out

Well, that’s how I do it, as far using the same exercises each week. If you are enjoying what you are doing and getting results from it, I see no reason to change.
I’m pretty sure the first time I did EDT, I played around with the exercises for a few weeks until I found the ones that I enjoyed doing and felt were most effective when done in an PR Zone.

Be careful with the jerky. I am not sure if you make your own or buy it but it has a very high sodium content and can typically be packed with other junk.
Actually somebody posted a question re: Jerky for protein content on Thib’s Q&A a few days ago and he says use it as a ‘last last last resort’.
If you’re looking for more protein from beef, why not use beef? 
(Court will attest to me being a sarcastic a$$ sometimes…especially on no/low carbs)

Don’t mind him. We haven’t let him out in public lately because he’s a cranky sarcastic ass right now. His bodybuilding comp is on Saturday, so hopefully after that he will turn back into the fun-loving Todd we like. Right now I’m not even sure his own mother would love him.
But to be honest, I thought the same thing about the jerky. Yes it’s delish, but if it’s store-bought it’s probably crap and high in sodium. When Todd speaks, he sometimes knows what he is talking about. 
Hey, thanks for chiming in! It’s jerky I picked up from the local health nut store…zero nitrites, and all that stuff…

I have been going really good, making steady progress, have you been able to get on top of the thyroid issues. been good catching up.
yes, I think the thyroid issues are ok now…I’ve been on meds for over two months now…I have another full workup here shortly, and I’m going to plea to my nurse to test EVERYTHING, not just my Tsh and T4…anyhow, I’m feeling better than I have in years, but I think theres room for improvement.
Actually was thinking about taking HOT-ROX…my only concern is it’s conversion of T3…what happens when you STOP taking it, you know?

Glad to hear you are feeling better
I’ve taken HOT-ROX and I had no issues with my thyroid while taking it or when I stopped. I’m sure if you take it you will be fine.
Bench-
1x10xbar
1x10x85
2x8x95
1x5x105
1x3x110
1x3x125-PR!
PR ZONE #1
Incline bench-30lbs
Bent over row-25s

PR ZONE #2
Straight arm push downs-25lb
Db bicep curls-15s
16x5=80 reps each

I plan on measuring myself tomorrow morning…its been two weeks since I started EDT.
Congrats on 125, you should have no problem with 135 now.
Aww, thanks…still going to work with the 125 some more…admittedly it was still 2 inches above my chest, and it was pretty,um, challenging to get it back up, especially that 3rd rep, whew!
Hows the new program going?
Well, since OCT 1st, I have gained two pounds…
And since OCT 13th, I lost 1.5" around my belly, could have just been bloated around the 13th…hmph…
Maybe I am really, truly the type that can never EVER have a carb again…there was lots of eating out this month…but it just boggles me how I can gain so easily when Im working that hard…and its not like Ive over eaten 7000 calories to gain 2 pounds…W.T.F
Back to the drawing board.
Muscle weighs more than fat, a scale is nothing to go by really, try using a fat caliper to measure your body fat. Program is going great for me thanks for asking. I have been sore after every workout…a great feeling for me
ya, I’ve heard that before…some how I don’t think it applies to my situation…you would think if that were the case, my body shape would be changing at least, and its not.
Rethinking things this morning, I think I need to step up my intensity with the cardio…maybe its not the food at all?? scratches head
I mean walking is good, but maybe its not intense enough, and its not enough to create a deficit?
Hey…congratulations on the bench PR. That’s excellent. I’m dying to get to that weight. I’ve been stuck forever.

You lost inches right? Do you measure everything or just your waist?
You should try HITT during cardio time.
