I have been looking at mixing up my routine to kickstart some new mass/size gains recently.

Ive looked at incorporating some strength specific training into my regeme. The Doug Hepburn Method looked like something I could have tweaked to suit...

Buuut... then i came across German Volume Training... twice this week ive put this into practice and BUGGER ME talk about ka-razy insane pumps... LOVING the pain...

Anyone else used this method... lay your thoughts on me ;)
 
Firstly, BOOM is copyright to PTC Perth :)

Secondly, got a link to share on the program? I love reading that kinda stuff, even if I have no intention of doing the program.
 
as you can only pick one excercise per muscle what would everyone pick for each muscle be?
which do you feel would give you the best result? below examples taken from the first article
mine would be

Chest - incline press (would do barbell as its easier to set up and get positioning right with limited rest time)
Shoulders - standing military press
Triceps - dumbell skull crushers
Back - pull ups or chin ups
Biceps - inlcine dumbell curl
Abs - hanging leg lifts
Quads - squats
Hamstrings - deadlifts
Calves - standing calf raises

Your sets should be 50 seconds each, stressing the negative for 4 seconds, otherwise your just wasting your time lifting tiny weights.


Good training method for training around injuries.
 
Ive done it before (5 years ago) and will be starting it again after my comp this weekend. Not looking forward to it haha!
Main lifts will be deads, squats and log press for me with high rep accessory work
 
I'm considering doing something similar just on weekends lol.

But the actual GVT program seems pretty good. Similar to Vince Gironda's 8 x 8 [MENTION=9251]Darkoz[/MENTION];
 
The difficulty is in the weight used.
Use a light weight, relative to your strength and its a piece of cake..
If you can get 10x10 then the weight is too light.
 
The Body for Life program is along the same lines with the 12 10 8 6 12 12 sets.

When i use to do it i felt a heap stronger
