Anyone with EDT experience here?
I've been playing around with some simple EDT workouts (dumbbell bench + dumbbell rows) as I thought I was going to be living out of a hotel for a month and would only have access to typical hotel gym dumbbells .
I might after all be staying at home and would have access to KBs, but I'd like to give the EDT a shot, maybe for 6 weeks before going back to a more Strongfirst approach.
I see a youtube video with Charles Staley himself overseeing a workout combining KB clean and thrusters with pull ups. That's about perfect as I don't want to lose progress on my C&P. Staley mentions bench press + front squats, which could easily be double kb clean and front squat.
Any other good antagonistic exercises incorporating KBs that come to mind?
Also, I was kinda toying with combining just one PR zone per workout (instead of 2 or 3) and daily dose deadlifts, and maybe 3x5 of something else. I'm probably not going to go down the road of curls/tricep extensions, so maybe I don't need so many PR zones. Any thoughts there?

Here's what Pavel said a long time ago about EDT. “Charles Staley’s EDT is the most foolproof method of building muscle I have ever come across. And it is not the fake muscles of a pump artist; EDT muscles are as strong as they look!”
