It's definitely a tough workout, but the intensity automatically adjusts as the beginner does fewer reps in the alloted time.

Beginners do more reps at a higher intensity.

Please explain what you're talking about, Thremp. I was referring to EDT where the primary variable is the number of reps you're able to accomplish in the allotted time. Obviously a beginner will not be able to do as many reps in the same time period as an experienced lifter whose work capacity is much greater. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Yeah in concrete terms of lbs lifted compared to a copy of himself. But he'll be able to work at a much greater intensity. IE he'll complete more reps at a higher % of his 1RM than someone who's been lifting for a long period.

Also many people don't work to increase work capacity unless its a set goal. Almost no one moves to the point of just destroying themselves using compound movements for 2 hours.

Once a beginner sees his CNS adaptations come in, most of his initial advantage will go away.
