Kettlebell Opus – Newsletter #13

    A basic tenet of weight training is progressive overload. Progressive overload can involve many factors such as total amount of weight lifted, number of sets and reps completed, and amount of time a workout\exercise takes to complete.

    *EDT training automatically tracks and records all of the above. The time frame is pre set. You already have a pre-existing record of the previous workout’s sets and reps. You know exactly how much weight and how many times a specific weight was lifted. Your goal in the next workout is to exceed the volume of work completed in the previous workout. In other words you are clearly defining your goals and progressions leaving nothing to chance. 

    The beauty of *EDT training lies in its simplicity. Applying *EDT to your kettlebell training will provide you with challenging, progressive workouts. Check out *EDT training with kettlebells at www.kettlebellopus.com
