Reply With QuoteI remember reading this thread awhile back: German Volume Training (GVT)- why does it work so well?
The general consensus was: It works but not forever, better to vary training.

I just started doing this and it's kicking my butt.
Very impressed with it.

My uncle did it for a while and saw some good results with it but I agree that it's not going to last forever.. you'll have to switch things up because you'll most likely hit a stall point

I think it's a shit ton of volume with kind of a light weight. If you find a good place to apply something like that in your program, then go for it.

Some people rave about it for pure bodybuilding purposes. I imagine it would be good for sarcoplasmic hypertrophy/carb depletion purposes. I would think muscular endurance would also improve if you keep the rest interval moderate to low. Originally Posted by P-funk

I would assume if you were really used to a low volume routine, if you use this for a month or so......I would think your body would respond nicely.....

What would you think of a routine that consisted of: Originally Posted by CowPimp

Not as high a rep range as most GVT programs, however a similar principle. I have no interest in using a press program of only bench, just currious as to its effectiveness.
