I am considering jumping on the German Volume Training bandwagon for a 6 week cycle. For those who do not know, it is 10 sets of 10 reps with the same weight. It sounds like absolute torture but the results I see online look pretty impressive for mass.
The main pro seems to be the sheer volume and the metabolic demand, but the con is obviously the recovery time. I am a bit older now and I am not sure if my joints can handle 100 reps of squats in a single session. It sounds like a recipe for a bad knee.
Have any of you actually finished a full 6 or 8 week cycle of GVT? Did you actually gain a significant amount of muscle or was it mostly just water weight and inflammation? I would love some honest feedback before I commit to this madness.
