That was more intense than I was anticipating.

EDT 12/9/08
I think I have EDT figured out now.
Yesterday my PR zone 1 20min: 5 reps each 9 rounds total
a) SNGL arm floor press 32 kg bell
b) SNGL arm row 32kg bell
5:00 min rest
PR zone 2 15 min:
a) DBL MP 24 kg bells x5 9 rounds
b) Pull-ups BW x5 2 rounds; x4 2rounds; x3 5 rounds
9 rounds total for PR zone 2; pull-ups did not go like I thought they would. Goal 5 pull-ups all 9 rounds.
I am enjoying EDT. I stay focused on my mission, I stay in my set time frame, in and out in less than an hour, and feel strong when I am done.

Partner training
Everybody knows it can be more motivating to have some there to train with you. For a long time now I have trained by myself. I enjoy training by my self it is my time to escape from day to day life.
My wife has been training consistently now for 12 weeks and I am very proud of the progress she has made.
Today we were able to train together and I truly enjoyed it.
When we first started dating we tried it, but we are both hard headed and it was not pretty. I have become more patient and she has learned to tolerate me. I think both of these contribute to our success.

Training 12/03/08
I have been reading a lot about EDT (Escalating Density Training) and I am intrigued about what people have to say. Zack Even-esh of Underground Strength Coach speaks very highly of it.
I have decided to give it a shot.
Warm up: I had extra time this morning so I decided to spend more time in my warm up mainly in the mobility drills.
core routine
abb work
counter movement jumps
mobility drills
The two exercises I chose for EDT
DBL front squats w/ 24 kg bells X5
Band swings w/ jump stretch band & 24 kg bell X5
Work time=20min. Performed 14 rounds
After I felt great, not completely spent, but new I had worked hard.
Finished with long cool down period of static stretching.
