Hang cleans
Military press
Alternate for 7 minutes and repeat

Dumbbell bench press
Biceps curl
Lateral raise

That is not EDT. It’s a weird conglomeration that might be EDT-“inspired”, but you’d be far better off just doing it the way Staley laid it out.

Two EDT zones per workout, 15 minutes each, two exercises per zone (or one exercise if it’s unilateral). The stuff you listed is trying to make things way more complicated with no real benefit.

For fat loss in general, pay more attention to nutrition than training. For example, your listed macro numbers end up 100 calories less than your listed daily total calories. That kind of inaccuracy can end up slowing down progress.

Thank you Chris! Appreciate the reply. I will clean up my diet and pay more attention to my macros. Will try and stick to the letter and spirit of Staley’s EDT
