Escalating Density Training (EDT) is an approach to training that's focused on density during strength training — and that can mean big results in a shorter period of time while exercising.

Joe Meier, CSCS, PN2, explains what EDT is and what it looks in practice, including how it's progressive and scalable for any fitness level. He also shares the nine-week EDT program that he created for Experience Life that anyone can follow.
