I’ve got a question about EDT. The goal is to do as many reps as you can in the 15 minute time frame. When I’m working out I always try to have a slow controlled eccentric phase, should I not worry about that when performing this kind of training? I’m not saying I’ll be bouncing bars off my chest or anything like that, but what would you guys suggest for the eccentric phase?
Good question. I’m actually trying out the EDT myself and let me just say, it is really awesome. My thoughts are to lift with the same form you would normally use which is hopefully stopping just short of your chest with CONTROLLED motions. The reason I say this is because the goal is to increase your volume of work during a certain period of time, not to learn bad training habits or good ways to injure yourself. I recommend your goal to be to decrease rest periods or throw in an extra rep each set preferably the former of the two. Good luck with it.
The main goal of EDT is to beat your numbers from the last workout so thats really the main thing you have to worry about 
come up wit ha method to beat it!
I believe you should should lift the weight as fast as possible under full control. This will increase the amount of tension and force generated, and thereby increasing the amount of ‘work’ you do. The amount of ‘work’ you do directly impacts the amount of gain you get. Also, think of yourself as ‘flexing muscles’ instead of ‘lifting weights’. Maybe that helps, if not toss it out the window.
Ethan’s got it completely right? control does NOT equal slow…you can be fast and still contolled.
Also, the task of quickly reversing a rapid eccentric phase creates high tensions, leading to strength increases.
while on the subject, what kind of rep numbers are you guys getting in each 15 minute set, I’m getting anywhere from 65-90 reps depending on the excercise, is that about right? I guess my great results should be the answer. I’ve never tried a workout routine that gave me the results thet EDT does.
