German Volume Training

I've been looking at GVT for a couple of weeks. Reading this filled in all the blanks and gave me exactly what I needed to know. I plan on starting this for upper body this week. An old injury keeps me from going heavy so GVT is a perfect fit.

Thanks for posting this!!!!

I use GVT pretty often I think its a great curve ball to throw into your training to restart gains. I know everyone responds differently but for me it works great

Just did GVT for biceps. 5x10 with a 70# bar and 5x10 with 35# DBs. I thought my biceps were gonna blow out! I can't believe I can even type this!!!

No cardio. Doing 10x10 compound lifts with 90 seconds between sets will be plenty of cardio on it's own. Especially on leg day.

I honestly don't do any cardio with this. The main point of GVT is mass, so I wouldn't recommend heavy cardio with it (unless you want to make it harder to recover/have to eat tons more food). If anything you want to stretch a lot and get a lot of sleep. Maybe do some light stair climber work to get the blood circulating.

Your CNS is going to have enough fun with the weights, so if you do want to do cardio, do the routine for a couple of weeks first and ease yourself into it.

I have always been interested in this. But feel bad for hogging one machine/bench/etc. for that large amount of time, my gym is constantly crowded.

Gvm is killer, currently.hitting.chest after an.off week and had to reduce weight.from 205 to 185'after 6 sets

I have been on gvt for 5 weeks and this program definitely works.
