Read our EDT review
by Charles Staley is a world class strength and size program. Charles Staley is a sports performance specialist who has trained elite athletes from many sports including Olympic weightlifting and bodybuilding. EDT is a simple and very effective strength program. EDT will make you sore, but the strength and size payoff is well worth it. With EDT you are not concerned with sets, reps, time under tension or rest intervals. Your goal is simply to do more reps this workout than last workout. How it works: Alternate antagonistic muscle exercises in short sets in a specified time period. Staley's example is 20 minutes, (called a PR Zone). You will perform two PR Zones per workout.

Your goal is to do as many reps with good form as possible in the PR Zone. Do not work to, or near failure in the early sets. You may reach failure at the end as you try to beat your previous record. After you are able to do 20% more reps than your original workout, increase the load by 5% and begin again. The Workout:
