I'll be darn. I've never heard of EDT before. Read about it and the assumptions seems to be around the theory that during your initial first few rep you're exerting much greater force than the resistance used. Hence, by lower reps and not repeating to failure, you keep the muscles trained at that higher level. Doesn't matter. I've been giving it a shot for the last few days. Maybe to early to jump into conclusion, but I do notice increase in performance (reps and resistances). Dunno, maybe it's the food I ate (which is inconsistent), the Rammstein music? Well, I'll keep it up for a few more weeks and we'll see. I also found that it's a very safe method to get back to exercise and high level of resistance that haven't been done in a while. Feel like a wuss for abandoning crossfit, and replacing it with EDT though 
I found equipment to be the obstacle in doing the Blitz system. Need to find gym with those bowflex type machines.
