This video provides an insight about performing German Volume Training (GVT) to increase muscle strength and hypertrophy. GVT was originally developed by Rolf Feser in the 1970’s as coach of the German weightlifting team.
GVT was successfully used by the Canadian weightlifter Jacques Demers who won Silver in the in the 75kg category at the 1984 Olympic games.
GVT is very effective in eliciting hypertrophy and concomitant strength gains, with ~4.5kg of muscle being gained in six weeks in some individuals.

Terrific video. Really informative. There's so much misinformation out there when it comes to sports science, so I'm really glad I found your videos.

Thank you for the kind comment Lexi Letters. I am glad the videos are proving useful, and I am planning to block some time to make new videos shortly.

You are good. Very good just spent 2 hours watching these vids!!

@physiologymadeeasy216 4 года назад

Thanks Rob for taking time to leave this comment. I am pleased the videos could help your training in some way.

@robertjoycetraining3126 4 года назад

Thank you! Yes definitely it’s funny how understanding the physiology more in depth actually makes things simpler when it comes to training!

I tried this a while back with squats. The last three sets were the hardest sets of my life.

@physiologymadeeasy216 2 года назад

Yes, it's a hardcore program. See my latest video for information about modified German Volume program which is slightly easier but just as effective as the 10x10 approach. Link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sViZdtY_2oE.html

Keep it simple. Old school GVT is 10 sets 10 reps with 90 second break and No supersets etc. always use best compound exercise and begin with 50-60% of your 1 rep max if possible. Add 5lbs each week if successful and eat healthy and eat a lot, rest a lot also and you’ll get the results

@stelliumeleven2889 7 лет назад

Awesome description. I've followed this program for 3 months and gained 20 pounds hahahha. My starting weight on squat was 135 and by the end of it I was at 195 and on the deadlift from 185 to 245. I gained most of it in my back and legs. Might have to go back to get through my current weight gaining plateau.

@physiologymadeeasy216 7 лет назад

Thanks for dropping by to leave that great comment Randy. It is pleasing to hear that this 'old school' program has made a big difference in your muscle and strength gain. Those are pretty impressive squat and dead-lift figures...All the best with the training.

I hope that’s in kgs and not pounds otherwise otherwise I’m not impressed

@stelliumeleven2889 Год назад

@@ver_nax3162 190kg for 10x10 on squats and 245kg for a 10x10 on deadlifts would be freak level strength! I could only imagine. Lol the best 10x10 I have done on squats lately has been 110kg and it was awful.

@alanwood3072 6 лет назад

Is this more sarcoplasmic hypertrophy?

@physiologymadeeasy216 6 лет назад

Both will occur with this training method. The chronic adaptation is myofibrillar hypertrophy which associates with greater force output by muscle, while the acute effects include sarcoplasmic hypertrophy. The sarcoplasmic hypertrophy may provide a stimulus to induce greater myofribrillar hypertrophy. I hope this helps. Good luck with your training.
