Escalating Density Training (EDT) - Legs...

My training looked like this today:

PR One - 10 Minutes

Goblet Squat - 24kg bell - 68 reps - 3590lbs
KB Deadlift - 48kg bell - 68 reps - 7181lbs

3 Minute Rest

PR Two - 5 Minutes

Dragon Walks - 20 steps each leg - 6600lbs
One Leg DL - 24kg bell - 20 reps each leg - 2112lbs

15 minutes of work - 216 reps - 19,482lbs lifted!

Last week I did 256 reps and lifted 23,839 lbs in 25 minutes of work time which translates into 10.2 reps per minute and 954 lbs lifted per minute. This week I did 216 reps and lifted 19,482 lbs in 15 minutes of work time which is 14.4 reps per minute and 1299 lbs lifted per minute.

The increase from last week was: 41% increase in reps per minute and 36% increase in lbs lifted per minute. This is THE definition of EDT. More work.....less time!
