Re: GVT explained

Within the last 3 weeks started a 5x5 Program. Little revised tho.

Push 5x5
Pull 5x5
Legs 5x5

All compound movements three days a week and all different movements. Seeing shocking results. Honestly for me its rapid growth. That low rep range seems to be my sweet spot but also high sets as well. Anyone think the GVT would b just as good? It looks so intriguing and pretty similar in a few ways.

Going to use it for all body parts...I do these once in a while in my garage gym...pick incline presses and just do 10 sets of 10 reps and by the 7 set the muscles are so full of blood and pumped it is painful...LOVE IT!!!

Re: GVT explained

The 10x10 can be very effectively combined with the 5x5. It is called Block Training. For both modules you use straight weights for your work sets. That means no adding or subtracting weight. If you cant do the full amount of sets then you keep that weight till you can. Tempo is not too important in this kind of graining. Each module would last from 5-8 weeks. Then a week off and go on to the other module. Sound interesting to anyone?

Re: GVT explained

Eh, Gvt isn't well rounded enough for me and it kills strength. Almost the same volume, more variety with exercises, lower reps per set = Max-OT.

Low reps, high volume. Max-OT, basically. Juicers best friend and program.
