Shock My Muscles ?

S.O.S · 01-23-2004, 02:06 AM

I was thinking of adding german volum training ( I think thats what its called) to my chest workouts.
Thats where you do 10 x 10 at about 50% of 1RM.
I work my chest on Mon and Fri. one week and Wed the next. Repeat.
My question is if i was to add this in at every third workout (2-3 times every 4 weeks) along with A heavy workout at 90 - 95% 1RM once every 4 weeks and my normal workout at 75% the other days, would this shock my mucsle and help with more muscle growth. Or will this just help promote strength increases.

Also i would try and add about 5 lbs to GVT evry time i did it.

Thanks for any advice,
Sean

Well, I would think so. You will have your muscles so confused, they want know whether to push or pull.

GVT is great. Try it with squats and deadlifts and they'll have to call an ambulance to bring you home. I believe you don't have your figures exactly dialed in, though, not all sets are performed with the same weight, but rather vary from set to set. Do a search on it or something, because I remember that's not the programme I used...

Peace.

I have tried GVT before, and its a hell of way to stress your muscles, that's for sure. Really exhausts them completely with all of the sets. Especially sets 6-10, takes a lot of guts to complete them properly, without cheating, etc.
