German VOLume TRAining Questions!

**meatNcreatine** · 05-03-2009, 12:59 PM

I have posted on some other boards and noone seems to understand what i am trying to ask....

OK...I keep reading "supersets" in every GVT article i come across alon wth 90seconds rest between sets. What exactly am I supersetting?? Lets say i am doing Chest + Back:

Flat Bench 10x10
BB rows 10x10
Incline Hammer PRess 3x10
Chins 3x10

AM i supersetiing bench/rows?? like i was thinking of it:
bench - 10 reps....rest 90 sec then row - 10 reps..rest 90 sec then bench - 10 reps...etc.

OR am i just supersetting the supplementary work?

Please, can someone read and understand my question fully since no one else on the internet can!

Thanks.

I've never read anything on GVT, but i shouldn't think it really matters.

Superset the 3x10s or something. Either way it's not going to make or break the program.

no offense but if you have read nothing on GVT then please do not reply to my thread. i appreciate your advice and help but honestly that really doesnt help me. i'd rather get input someone who actually knows about GVT not trying to be an a-hole man, just being frustrated with the lack of clarity on this program

lol, yeah Gaz, what would you know.......

GVT is not some special routine that doesnt follow the basic factors of physiology, so whether or not Gaz has read about it is irrelevant. And if your trying to add mass I wouldnt says its the best routine for you.

German Volume Training (GVT)- why does it work so well?

if you scroll down to the 21st post and beyond, the various moderators discuss different ways that you can superset the movements

Your question isn't directly answered, but it should give you the right idea

1. Go to google.

2. Type in "german volume training".

3. Click the first fucking link (Bodybuilding.com - Charles Poliquin - German Volume Training!)

4. Scroll down about halfway and look at the program layout.

5. See where its got helpful little labels for each exercise "A1/A2" and "B1/B2"? Those are your supersets. Hence why they are labeled the same.

I know dick all about GVT, but all that took was 60 seconds, basic reading comprehension, and an ass without a stick in it. Have a nice day

because basic fucking rules of physiology apply. Gaz is merely telling you that it wont make a big difference. GVT isnt the end all, be all of training.
That being said, try looking at Gaz's credentials before writing him off as being an asshole.
Go read a book peckerhead.

btw Gaz, nice work on linear periodization. Just read it.

woah woah man relax i wasnt calling anyone an asshole. But now i'd probably call you an asshole...i understand that GVT isnt "be all end all", nothing is. Just looking for a decent program that will pack on some muscle during the summer, not caring about strength, so get the sand out of your vagina pal.

but anyway i do appreciate the reply(s) that are here...didnt mean to bash or come off as a basher or whatever just looking for some clarity. jeez!

A little tip - when you've got three posts to your name and a moderator bothers to address your question, for free, when you could EASILY have googled a reply, you might try a reply that's a little less condescending.

Translation: we don't know you. You just joined here. Get to know us for a bit, THEN mouth off, k?

LOL! Boys...

Oh and I know I am an asshole.

He really does. Ask any of the mods.

<blows kisses at juggernaut>

Don't worry baby, you're not just ANY asshole. You're my pet asshole!

**nkira** · 05-04-2009, 04:10 AM

meatNcreatine, you ARE new here & with just 4 post you should really watch your mouth. You ask for help & when you get some you start throwing around insults as if you own the place. May b the other forums did not respond to your posts cos you probably did the same bullshit there.

Most IMF members are "stand up" persons, so you better watch yourself.

Want help? Be polite & show some respect cos YOU are asking for help, otherwise just leave.

I just find it hilarious that i managed to find the answer in the first google link i clicked.

Google - 1
Humanity - 0

:-P
