German Volume Training (GVT)
On a day when you’re a bit illl, very tired, decision fatigued, but still want to train as it’s been 6 weeks!! GVT is a fantastic option.
GVT is a hypertrophy training system following the law of repeated effort, 10 working sets of the same exercise results in massive exposure to a single stimulus. My old mentor Charles Poliquin always said, if you don’t know what muscles a given exercise works, do GVT on it and you’ll feel the answer the next day!
