If you have some experience under your belt, I would look into the "advanced" GVT routine that Poliquin wrote. I am loosely following that now. It calls for higher intensities with the weights and a more periodized approach with the weights and rep schemes.

I can't comment on the original because I have no experience with it, but I prefer to use heavier loads than 60% of my 1RM for all my exercises.

I've used GVT a few times with favorable results. Not to say its the end all workout program, but it's nice for a change of pace.

Im sure it does work, to a point.

Is it an optimal routine, absolutely not.

I would say its for advanced trainees only, who are 110 percent sure of what they are doing and why they are doing it.
