"EDT DVD by Charles Staley"
 What
is Escalating Density Training? EDT by Charles Staley is
now available on DVD! Here is a quick section-by-section list of
just some of the jewels that you will find on Charles Staley's EDT
DVD:
PART ONE: Introduction and Principles
- Meet and listen to Tim Larkin, who was one of the first guinea
pigs for EDT...hear it in his own words! Then watch Tim as he
blasts through a dynamic PR Zone with a pair of kettlebells.
- Learn the VERY surprising origins of EDT
- It's not about high reps, it's about SMART reps (We'll explain)
- Why everyone needs to employ the 'distraction principle.'
- How EDT creates a specific purpose for each and every workout
- Core Principle: Impose time limits for your workouts, THEN see
how much you can get done (NOT vice versa)
- Why the performance you achieve tells you EXACTLY what you need
to do next workout.
- Are the workouts too brief? Watch Tim Larkin and coach Troy
Anderson performing their PR Zones and THEN decide.
- Learn what density really means and how it relates to intensity
and volume
- Tim explains why EDT is a 'high concept.' I'm glad we brought
Tim to the shoot because he has insights into the system that
never even occurred to me!
- People are using EDT everywhere you go, here's how to tell when
you're watching EDT at a commercial gym.
- EDT makes the trainer's job easier...all you have to do is what
their biomechanics
- Who was Dr. Sherrington and why do most people break his 'law.'
- Why standard rep intervals will kill your efficiency (and your
joints)
- EDT defies your common sense...UNTIL you experience it
- Discover the three essential categories of antagonistic pairings
and how to use them to maximum effect
- Abandon fixed loading parameters! I've written about this ad
nauseum, but when you see it on tape, you'll finally 'get' it.
- No more guesswork! If you screw up, the system will fix it.
- Listen and watch as we distinguish the difference between 1RM's
and 'momentary maximum strength.'
- Don't take the knucklehead approach when you first try EDT!
We demonstrate the right and wrong way.
- If you don't beat your numbers, there is a formulaic prescription
for what you should do next time...no other system does this
- Cultivate your own 'competitive itch.'
- Why people focus on pain, and why it's a BIG mistake
- Once you make the switch from fatigue to performance, everything
changes
PART TWO: A Look Under The Hood: PR Zone Demonstration

than 10

PR Zone

- Some meathead stole your station and won't get off the cell
phone? We'll show you how to fix it
- Find out how tension, not weight, leads to authentic gains
- By the way, your instincts aren't always right, rely on cold,
hard numbers instead. This DVD shows you how.

training goals

sessions

ever would and why you'll love it anyway

Bonus! Essentials Of Weight Training Technique
I've been wanting to do a video on this topic for years, and we
finally did it. This section is your one-stop, tell-all compendium
of how to lift weights properly and safely (and you won't even need
a protractor!) This section includes:
- What 'good form' does and (more importantly) doesn't mean
- How tension leads to greater safety
- Grip and stance determine everything
- The two twins of good form: symmetry and balance
- My proactive approach to monitoring your technique. All successful
athletes use it whether they know it or not.
- Using neutral spine theory to keep your back happy even during
the heaviest squat and deadlift sessions.
- My 4 simple cues to a perfect squat every time
- Limb length VS torso length: the essential formula for squat
and pulling technique.
- Using 'forefoot drag' to increase lunge intensity - ouch! (We
love tricks like this!)
- Do more with less, not less with more!
- First ask 'why?'
- Over-contraction for maximum lifting safety
- How to optimize your technical rehearsal during the warm-up
- Learn the 'economy walkout' for squats and set a new PR right
away!
- Learn why MACHINES are more dangerous than free weights despite
what everyone else thinks
- Make eye contact with others for safety
- What a back hoe machine can teach you about bench pressing
- Isolation or integration?
- How shorter range of motion (not longer!) increases lifting
efficiency and safety.
- The breathing / stabilization connection
- Locking out your joints versus slamming them shut
- Making the best use of a trainer or coach...proximity bias
- And much, much more...
Truth be told, there's just so much information and demonstration
jammed onto the DVD that I can't even list all of it here online,
this has gotten long enough already. The bottom line is this: if
you're not happy with your current training program...if you're
not getting the results you want...if you're spending too much time
in the gym, EDT is your solution. And if you've already read about
EDT but still have unanswered questions, this DVD will be an invaluable
coach as we walk you through the EDT training system firsthand.
Buy now and also receive ‘Secrets Of
Training Economy: Do More…MUCH More, With Less.’
This FREE one-hour interview of Coach Staley, conducted by T-Nation’s
Chris Shugart, reveals the coaches secrets of whipping his clients
into peak condition in a hurry.
Although the term ‘training economy’ comes from the
athletic conditioning field, it also has great application for everyday
people who cannot afford to waste time and energy in their training.
So the question becomes, ‘How can I get the biggest bang for
my training buck?’ Charles speaks authoritatively and in-depth
on the following subjects:
* Be Clear About Your Objective! You must have a context outside
of your training with which to assess the effectiveness of that
training.
* Start With The Minimum! In terms of overall volume (or the amount
of training that you do), when you’re setting up a program,
start with a level of volume that seems far too small. Charles shows
how this principle can be applied to a number of variables, including
training frequency, the number of exercises per session, the number
of sets per exercise, and so on.
* Choose Global Exercises! A ‘good theory’ is a simple
explanation that explains a lot of things, whereas a poor theory
is a more complex explanation that explains fewer things. Charles
shows how this premise applies to your workouts
* Look For Dynamic Correspondence! Everyone talks about specificity,
but this might be the first time you truly understand it…
* Isolate The Experimental Variable! A basic tactic of the scientific
method is to isolate a single variable. Are you applying this to
your workouts? Charles shows you how.
* Minimize Redundancy! Don’t repeat yourself over and over
in your training (Charles calls this ‘broken record’
training.
