Barriers to Escalating Density Program

Hi. Appreciated all the feedback I got about how to do the EDT correctly. Have a couple more questions, and hoping to hear any feedback with those who’ve done it before. I’ve been doing EDT one week now. I find one built in obstacle with the program. Because it requires you to cram as many reps into a twenty minute time frame, it seems that it’s not a good idea to be doing this routine during the peak gym hours right after work, because all the machines are occupied then. This obviously limits the amount of time you can be working out, and consequently limits the amount of reps you can squeeze out in 20 minutes. Of course a solution would be to train during off hours.

THis leads to my second question…which I offer with a degree of embarrassment, but hey, we all had to start somewhere. I have just started the 12 week Body for Life program. I had been out of the weight training loop for a long time, and after such a long absence, I needed something to get me motivated on a regular, consistent basis. I don’t know what you guys think about the program, but I figure if it hooks me into a dedicated routine, and gets me back into the gym with the same dedication I was used to, it will serve its purpose. So my question is, would EDT be a good routine to start the Body for Life program? Before I fell out of my weight training mode, I was following more or less the Body for Life training program, but found it way too lengthy with too many repititions and sets. So, I am looking for a new program to follow as I begin my journey back to good shape, and thought EDT would be a start. Perhaps because the BFL program took so long to complete, the EDT workout seems almost too quick! (40 minutes per workout) If anybody would offer their feedback, I’d be appreciative. Thanks a lot.

What’s wrong with entering a contest to win prizes and money?

Try it for yourself and you will find out that those 40 minutes don’t come fast enough. Really, EDT will whup your ass. As far as the dieting part of Body for Life, start reading everything about dieting on t-mag. Body for life doesn’t give enough info for things like good fats, caloric needs, and protein needs. Isn’t the body for life program training program only 3 days a week. I didn’t find it to be too intense. Wait till you try EDT.
