    Yo Bigsexy, today was my first complete week of the GVT. I started last Monday. It feels good. Different then heavy and light lifting. I dont feel real

    beat up after, but I do feel like I got a good workout, and the next day I really feel it.

    Like I said I had to tweak things because I only workout at home with a DB bench, and DB's.

    So heres what I did for me....

    Monday Chest/Back
    DB press 10X10
    DB fly's 10X10
    DB row 10X10
    DB pull over 10X10
    pull ups 3Xfailure

    Tuesday Legs
    squats 10X10
    lunges 10X10
    calf raise 10X10

    Wed off..

    Thursday shoulders
    Military press 10X10
    front delt 10X10
    side delt 10X10

    Friday arms
    preacher curl 10X10
    hammer curl 10X10
    DB skullcrusher 10X10
    bench dips 4Xfailure

    Sat/Sun
    cardio/abs/kettlebell/whatever I want

    gonna keep it up for the 6 weeks like most gvt training programs do

    I would something like this for chest

    bench 10x10 60%
    incline dumbell press 2x8-10
    Flyes 2x8-10

    You are suppose to progress each week so start out slow. Same with5x5.progress.

    Bump for Nark.

    this seems a little bit to much...maybe not for you but to me it seems like overtraining

    I've done it for 6 weeks and 12 weeks.

    I prefer to keep phases shorter however... Training techniques should be seen as tools, as opposed to being seen as absolutes.

    6 weeks is generally when adaptation starts to set in for some with moderate-intensity techniques. For some, exhaustion may set in prior to this however... so keeping it shorter may be beneficial.
