I was thinking about taking on an EDT style of training and was wondering what splits have been the most successful for you guys…
(On a side note I’m at the gym 5 times/week)
Appreciate the input fellas!
Don’t worry about ‘best’. I use EDT as a complete variation to the previous program, kind of like a volume cycle after i’ve been pushing hards and my joints are sore from heavy lifting. I do 3X a week, full body. Last night was 4X5 Military press, 1x5 deadlift, before 2 PR zones of rack pullups to neck/reverse crunch with DB between ankles, and Power cleans/tricep extension. Feel good today. I’m not saying that this is the greatest ever, but it’s cool. Cleans will make you sweat! I usually do something like this- some big exrcises, some BB stuff. I get my best gains on this after low volume, high intensity, as a kind of rebound
sounds pretty intense.
I can’t do a full body though cuz I plan on cycling this program through 5 days/week.
I was thiking of doing a 3 day split that I could repeat after one days rest. Maybe something like 2 twenty minute PR zones per day:
Day 1 - Chest and Biceps
Day 2 - Legs and Abs
Day 3 - Back and Triceps
and maybe just do some shoulder work at the end of one of these days, because I can’t seem to figure out where I’d be able to fit it in!
I have a four day program, 2 on, 1 off, 2 on, 2 off. I like it so far. Day 1 and Day 3 are full body plus, Day 2 and 4 are arms only using an EDT arm program.
