anyone used this method to add mass?? I have been reading a lot of european ideas and have decided to try german volume training to try and gain some more lean mass. Please let me know how it worked for you, thanks in advance BP2

i tried it for 3 months, and it was decent for me, a good bro of mine who competes does it about once a year and he is jacked up bigtime.. he swears by it.. so take from that what u will.. try it and evaluate from the end of your test period

I think its a great change of pace. If you hit a plateau or you need something to help stimulate growth, GVT could be very useful for a few weeks.

I've used it before for legs and it does work great.

I'll be using it for chest after my partial pec tear completely heals.

German Volume training kicks ass. Every time I do it I pack on new muscle. I havent done it in over a year and a half now, but I think I'm going to hit it up again as soon as my fall shows are done with

i was looking at doing the advanced gvt programme. May give it a go. looks interesting and i havent read any negative feedback about it.

bump.....for all the info I have read about GVT I have yet to see traps worked into this training method???anyone know why not, also if someone was to work traps into this method would it be better suited for back or shoulder day????

[Giantz11]

I think Traps on a back day would be good, also this type of training suits the trap as higher reps seems to stimulate trap growth.

Why the hell would you train with 20 sets for arms and 6 for delts???????

What are you talking about?

Be sure to read the entire protocol, you never do 20 sets of anything you do 10.
You are to choose from the exercises listed, you just glanced at it and added everything up.

Slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow down.......just like the diet forum. Slow down, read, and understand.

GVT is something anyone interested in strength training should be familar with. The best interpretation I have seen is from coach Charles Poliquin. GVT is an old theory that you should deffinitly try... remember to watch your rest intervals and begin using the right load...
