Well, the first thing that comes to mind is Eastern Daylight Time. A Google search located this.

I think he's referring to Esclated Density Training by Charles Staley. Try taking a look at these 2 articles, which will explain EDT better than I can:

I think Fin got that, especially since he linked to one of the two t-nation articles.

I am on my third week of EDT and I love it. A very simple explanation of EDT is that you work two opposing muscle groups doing as many lifts as you can for a PR Zone (15 Minutes) doing 5 reps and then moving to 5 reps of the other exercise. You rest only long enough in between to get through your next set of lifts. You set your starting weight at your 10 rep max. It is very fast paced and you just get to keep lifting. You can start with a single PR zone and move up to 3 per workout depending on your fitness level. There is much more to the science of it but that lays out the basics. You can also check out my log "Never ending quest to be leaner, stronger and faster" for some specific examples. It is all laid out in the Book "Muscle Logic" as well and it is a great read.
