With all due respect to Charles Staley - I love his advice - I felt his EDT article was a bit confusing (or, maybe I got cross-eyed after the 4th reading).
He introduces the program, saying there are 3 core exercises done per workout each with a 15 minute “PR-zone”, alternated with 2 circuits. However, from looking at his very well detailed example, there is only 1 core movement per workout (3 per week), and the PR-zone is for the circuits, not for the core lifts??!!
I tried to find other posts to help me first, but could not find anyting definite. I’d like to start this soon, so please help ASAP!
hey Top, which article are you referring to? maybe I can help you out…

I think I pulled an older article by Charles, “Lose The Fat, Keep The Strength: Escalating Density Training For Body Comp Breakthroughs”. Should I just follow his example to the letter, and disregard his somewhat contradictory intro?
apayne-
That’s an interesting format, but I’m insterested in the just the clarification of the above article. I don’t know if the one you are referring to is the same or has been manipulated or what have you. I’m just trying to keep it simple and clear and follow a program with a very detailed example.
