Escalating Density Training - Push Up, Row, Squat, Knee Raise - Implementing the Programs

15 minutes each of two sessions

Push Up & Row:  174 total reps, largely in sets of 12 and 10.  This is considerably higher than my last total and I feel I need to increase the difficulty either by using weight or higher reps each set.  Maybe sets of 20 to start or feet elevated.  Or both.

Squat and Knee Raise:  157 reps in sets of largely 10 reps, some 12 and one 15.  This also substantially beat my last score.

Thoughts and plans:  I need to dial up the intensity and dial down the volume and frequency.  These easy exercises are boring even though it's challenging to do so many of them in such a short period of time.  Stay with the harder exercises.  As much as I like the concept of whole body every day, I probably won't continue to make gains with it and I will probably continue aches and pains and joint issues.

Consider a split of push, pull, legs and do Grease the Groove on the "rest" day and combine it with New Exercises.  Consider GTG/New Exercises/Work On Skills for the non-worked body part on a day. Consider picking the favorite "programs" and do each for a week.  So, EDT for a week, Sore in Six for a week, 5 x 5 for a week, etc.  Consider dialing EDT down to 12 minutes rather than 15 so it's twice "sore in six".  Consider dropping Pump because it's similar to EDT and Sore in Six.  Consider 5 x 5 being weighted dips, chins and squats / deadlift.  Come closer to failure.  Get better at measuring strength and as strength increases, continue to decrease volume and frequency.

Maybe cycle through the programs with a push/pull/legs split on days, each program for a week, then go to upper / lower and then whole body and then cycle back again.
