Anyone tried German Volume Training? I wanna try it next week but am having trouble finding some good workouts. Anyone got any recommendations?

Cheers

Did you see good gains?

Will try next week

My gym doesn't have decline, so I'm gonna do incline bench.

I done chest on Saturday so will start with legs. I find squats annoying, so 10 sets will definetly put the super pump 250 I will take to the test

Yes I had gians, but nothing extraordinary, but still very worthwhile for something different.

I done the legs part on Monday and done the chest one today. I nearly threw up after the leg workout :S

Yes i know the feeling. Technically you should not be able to get all 10 reps on the last set or 2 otherwise you weight was too light. This way it ensures complete failure.

Yeah, I was getting that. I could only do 8 on the last 2. I thought I was being a pussy Guess I got the right weight.

What do you think of the arm workout on it? I added military press and shrug into it before the shoulder part. My tris and bis didn't really seem too stimulated after it.

I was very stimulated. 10 sets of dips absolutely fried my tris and i only used bodyweight.
Did you just use bodyweight or did you hang some weight of you?

 

[Shrek]

Also remember you do not have to get 10 reps for every set, but keep the same weight until you do, then you can increase it.

 

[howzit]

Oh, I see. Will try that.
