EDT Parte2
? Motivation: When you do an EDT workout, you know when it'll start, but more importantly, you know precisely when it will END. Also, you know exactly what you need to do in that time period. In other words, you have an explicit goal ? A definite purpose, and a well-defined time frame for accomplishing your goal. You have to experience this in order to fully appreciate how easily it is to get "up" for ED workouts.
? Auto-Regulation: Forget about sets and reps. Forget about rest intervals. Forget about time under tension. I'm totally serious ? All of these parameters distract you from the essential truth ? That you need to do more work this time than you did last time. It literally took me over 20 years of studying these factors to realize that they don't matter. So take out your training log, see how many total repetitions you did during your last workout for the same muscle groups, start the stopwatch, and beat that number. That's all. If you do this every workout, you'll grow. And if you don't you won't. Any questions?
? Clarity of Progression: EDT workouts don't allow you to hide from the essential truth of training ? Progression. You may think you were abiding by the law of progressive overload before, but with EDT, you KNOW you are.
Q2 Principles: Fatigue Management
Perhaps the most limiting belief that people have about exercise is that it must hurt (either during and/or afterward) to be effective. Now, it's true that a certain amount of discomfort always accompanies getting out of one's comfort zone. But to gauge the effectiveness of a workout by how bad you feel afterward is insane. There are far more efficient ways to make yourself sore, such as taking a job as Lennox Lewis' sparring partner, or applying for a job as a test dummy!
EDT involves doing a workout, measuring how much work was done, and then consistently and gradually increasing that amount of work. When you do, muscle will grow, metabolism will increase, and you'll have a leaner, more muscular body. Now, as it turns out, there's a paradox at work here. Because good fatigue management strategies allow you to do a lot more work, you'll end up plenty sore anyway, so for you masochists out there, fear not ? You'll be in plenty of pain.
The EDT Program
In this first installment, I'll set you up with one month's worth of training to get you on your way. While I've presented the basic concepts of EDT in this article, there are a number of techniques and strategies that I haven't provided. So if you find this system as valuable as many of my clients have, just send me a note and we'll set you up with a new mesocycle each month. Good luck ? You have no idea what you're getting into!
