"Charles Staley's EDT is the most fool-proof method of building muscle I have ever come across. And it is not fake muscles of a pump artist; EDT muscles are as strong as they look." - Pavel Tsatsouline, the author of 'Power to the People!' and 'The Russian Kettlebell Challenge'

Here's a dirty little secret that no one wants you to know, but I'll tell you anyway, EVERYONE, at one point or another, feels confused about how to train. Actually, 'confused' might be too tame a word. Perhaps 'exasperated' is a better term.

Whatever you want to call it, we've all felt it. In fact, I've experienced it myself, and (as I like to put it with my clients) it's 'not happy times.'

Let's face it, training is hard enough, without adding in the fact that you're not confident about your program. It just flat out sucks to slug it out at the gym 3-4 times a week, all the while wondering if your sweat and tears are going to lead to the body you're looking for.

"I have been using EDT for about a year. I have been very happy with my results. I am a hard gainer and have gone from 155 to 170 while only increasing body fat from 10% to 11%.

Now the good part: I just got your DVD and I can definitely say learning by example is the way to go. I have been trying to make the 5 reps as long as possible, watching the DVD cleared this area up. The first day of dropping to 4, 3, 2, then 1, my 'PR' jumped from 55 to 75, WOW. Needless to say I was sore, but it felt great. I love competing against myself, it keeps me going, and lets me know I am making progress, even on those hard days. Thanks for the great system. And I would encourage anyone one using EDT to get the DVD, excellent work." Dan Foster, San Antonio, TX

I'm sure you know what I'm taking about. But if you don't, you shouldn't read any further, because you should never change what's already working (my friend and colleague Dan John has a great quote about fixing things that aren't broken: 'That program worked so well, I stopped doing it!')

Still reading? Good, that means you're ready for a change. And you should congratulate yourself for having the smarts to fix what ISN'T working. Because too many of us struggle needlessly with training programs that simply don't deliver the goods. And let me state right here and now that it isn't your fault, it's the program's fault. A lot of my colleagues will chastise me for saying that, but I'm going to say it anyway, because it's true.

By the way, have you ever wondered why most training programs don't really work? I certainly have. And in my case, that 'wondering' gradually evolved into a lifetime worth of study and 'in the trenches' experimentation, both on myself and hundreds of clients, over a period of many years. The result of this fundamental dissatisfaction with the status quo is a system called Escalating Density Training, or EDT for short.

I first released the EDT system to the general public through an article I wrote for Testosterone magazine about 3 years ago. I wasn't sure how the article would be received because EDT is so incredibly simple, I thought most people might not grasp the significance of what I was offering. Boy was I wrong!

That article created a firestorm of controversy and my e-mail inbox was almost immediately flooded with questions about my system. I couldn't have been more surprised to be honest with you. In fact, I really didn't think EDT would capture this type of attention, because frankly, EDT is so simple, it's actually difficult to convey the essence of it through the written word. And even if I COULD, people tend to think that 'simple' means 'simplistic.'

Which is a mistaken idea by the way, I recently watched a Discovery Channel special about the Apollo 11 moon landing, and one of the scientists was talking about how critical it was that the engine for the lunar lander (the one that would return the astronauts back to their space capsule) worked perfectly. After all, if it didn't, the Apollo astronauts would have never returned from the moon). Anyway, the scientist expressed their engineering philosophy by saying 'In rocketry, 'simple' means 'reliable."

In training, 'simple' means 'reliable' also! Now, EDT can be a 'tough sell' because it isn't very 'sexy' to some people. I mean, you've probably seen articles that feature these really cool looking programs that are detailed beyond imagination. All that detail leads you to believe that the program MUST work because so much thought and imagination went into it. As for me 'been there, done that.'

Unfortunately, those programs, as cool as they seemed, didn't do what I wanted them to do. And I'm impatient by the way, I'm not looking for a slight, barely noticeable change in my physique or performance over a 6-month period! I'm looking for BIG changes, and I don't want to have to rely on reincarnation to get them.

Are we on the same page here?!?! All right, I don't want to beat this thing to death, but it's important that you understand where I'm coming from and the type of person EDT was designed for.

"I just got my copy of EDT on DVD and I have one word to describe it BRILLIANT!!! You are so right, the concepts are very simple and almost cause you to over-think them, yet there it is, easy to follow and very intuitive...thanks for a great product!!!! Thanks again for a training epiphany." Chris Smith

Now if you're on board, if you 'get' what I'm talking about, and you're ready for a change, I've got great news for you. Ever since that first article, people have been hounding me to create a DVD on the Escalating Density Training system. At first I basically ignored all these requests, because again, I just thought the EDT system was so simple that there'd be no way I could actually produce a full length DVD on the subject. But I did some thinking, and started going through all those questions that people had e-mailed to me, and eventually I came up with over 130 questions that (apparently) I hadn't managed to answer in any of my writings on the subject. And I felt like an idiot because suddenly it occurred to me that I had PLENTY of material for a DVD. So the decision was made.

But I didn't want this to be like everyone's else's videos. I didn't want this product to simply be a 4-hour lecture from yours truly. I wanted it to be not only instructional, but also dynamic and motivational to boot. Then it hit me: I'd call Tim Larkin. Tim (in addition to being the creator of the Target-Focus Training personal protection system) is a client/training partner/mentor of mine with a physique you'd disown your mother for, and fortunately for me, he credits his striking physical attributes (Tim's 6-1 and about 225 at 6% bodyfat!) to EDT.

Tim not only agreed to do the shoot with me, he was enthusiastic about the project, and as it turns out Tim actually agreed to perform one of the training sessions for the video, and that scene, trust me when I tell you, will get your attention in a BIG way.

"I just had to let someone connected with EDT know about the progress I have made using Mr. Staley's EDT program. I am a 43 year old physical education teacher and high school football coach. I have been lifting weights as a hobby for several years. I haven't made any real progress in years. I had come to the conclusion that I had reached my genetic potential and I could only maintain my current gains. I stumbled across Charles Staley's EDT program. I decided to give it a try. Now, at age 43, I am making gains in strength nearly every time I go to workout. The program is easy to follow and simply uses common since. Thanks so much for a program that has renewed my enthusiasm for lifting weights. EDT is the best program out today." Clay Ford, Conway, South Carolina

We flew Tim out to Arizona, we hired a great videographer, and got down to the business of creating a DVD that would not only answer every question you could ever have about EDT, it would also inspire and educate you about everything from training to goal orientation, to correct exercise biomechanics, to effective journaling, and much, much more. We set out to make this DVD a complete guide to resistance training, and I'm happy to say that we succeeded.

"I gained 3/4 of an inch on my arms in a month, arms went from 16" to 16 3/4". I was also able to max curl and max tricep press about 20 lbs more after EDT. I could see results occur weekly, which was really motivating." Kevin Grivois, Madawaska, ME
