GVT stands for German Volume Training.
You basically choose a basic exercise for each major group and aim for 10 sets of 10 reps with a certain amount of weight. Once you accomplish that, you raise weight by 5% or so until you can do 10 reps on your next set. And repeat.
I used it years ago and it was a simple, yet good method to train.
I still recommend it to folks just starting out at the gym.
No love for GVT, huh?
Sorry Mario, a bit backed up with research … seems to be something worth to be tried.
never tried it . Ive done the 5×5 but I can see where GVT can be effective . some of the power lifters in my gym do it once in a while
I remember Bev Francis mentioning that she built her base around GVT. Simple and heavy usually works.
Exactly.
