Escalating Density Training

I stumbled upon Escalating Density Training about 4 weeks ago and have been trying to learn more ever since.  Turns out Andrew Durniat gave a talk about EDT after the Gripmas Contest last week!  There is a summary of the talk at Josh Dale's Blog, the Peoples' Dietitian.  This list of advantages quoted from Josh's write up is exactly why I've been training this way:

Advantages
  • This system works great for those trying to get stronger without putting on additional weight
  • This system also lends itself to those wanting to lose fat/exercising for body composition
  • Everybody has 10-15 min/day. I repeat EVERYBODY has this much time and if you say you don't you're a liar.
  • It has a built-in deload week to avoid burn-out and injury. Do you have a scheduled deload week in your current program; it's a yes or no question.
