About this program

12-Week/4-day Program

This 12-Week works by targeting a group of motor units (nerves that cause a specific group of muscle fibers to contract) and subjecting them to an extensive volume of repeated efforts. Specifically, 10 sets of a single exercise performed with the same reps for each set. The body adapts to this extraordinary stress by increasing the size of the targeted fibers. The German Volume Training program is one of the most difficult workout programs you will ever perform, and it is not for everyone. But if you are up to the challenge, you will find as countless others have who have tried it, GVT is the fastest way to achieve maximum muscle growth. This program will work on a 5-day rotation, which is also fully described within the program as well.
