German Volume Training


Having worked as a fitness instructor for a number of years I have tried and tested a number of training methods. Instead of going through each training method myself I have linked a number of websites detailing a few of my most successful programs:

German Volume Training- 10 x 10 Method

 If you struggle to grow with your current workout, mix it up and try the german volume method. We carried out a test using this training method using  8 subjects of mixed training experience.

The Workout:

 Day 1 - Chest & Back

Bench Press- 10 sets of 10 reps - 90 sec rest between sets
Wide Grip Pull Ups - 10x10 - 90 sec rest between sets

Superset x 3- DB Flyes - 12 Reps  - 60 sec rest
                      Seated Row/Bent Row - 12 Reps

Day 2- Legs

Squats- 10 sets of 10 reps - 90 sec rest between sets
Leg Curls- 10 sets of 10 reps- 90 sec rest between sets

Day 3- Rest

Day 4- Arms

Barbell Curls- 10 sets of 10 reps - 90 sec rest between sets
Close Grip Bench/Dips - 10 sets of 10 reps- 90 sec between sets

Superset x 3- Hammer Curls x 12 - 60 sec rest
                      Skull Crushers x 12

Day 5- Rest

Day 6- Repeat Day 1

Here are the results we achieved after 5 weeks of this workout!



We decided to measure different parts of the body at the beginning of the 5 week program and at the end. As you can see there was a great increase in size and mass of each bodypart allround and I greatly suggest you try this method of training.
