Crazy man, but intriguing. I think I may steal your leg routine... Are you doing this to gain, or lean, or does it matter depending on foods?

I am always trying to get rid of this flab, while gaining lean mass - in hopes that eventually there will be something for the skin to hold on to. The short rest periods are really bringing an aerobic aspect into the fold though.

GVT is a great mass builder, and can even build some mass while leaning you up. Even if done with 90 seconds rest it still tends to lean you up a little while adding a decent amount of muscle if nutrition is right.

GVT was actually the training program the German Strength Coach used in off season for his weight lifters when they took the team Gold @ the Olympics several years back. So it is also good for lifters concerned with strength and power even though it has such a slow tempo.

Alright Simon,
I am sitting here on the ****ter planning my workout, I have decided on a GVT style shoulder routine. Maybe add some Triceps in as well.
But def shoulders.
I will let you know how it goes.
 
11/2/13

Dosed a full scoop of Stimul8 on my way out the door this morning for a 6km run. I really enjoy that boost of energy about 15 minutes after my run starts.


Arms

SuperSet 1

Close Grip Bench Press:
130x10
130x10
130x10
130x10
130x10
130x10
130x10
130x9
130x9
130x8

Ez Bar Curls:

85x10
85x10
85x10
85x8
85x10
85x9

- did a bit better this time around, crazy how quickly the arms just pump right up.


Superset 2

Rope Pushdown:
90x15
90x15
90x15
90x12

- thinking I will rotate different accessory exercises through

Preacher Curls:
70x15
70x15
70x14
70x12

- also different rep ranges to keep things interesting (ie did 80x4x10 last time)

Superset 3

Overhead Tricep Extensions:
100x10
100x10
100x10

Concentration Curls:
30x10/10
30x10/9
30x8/7


Arms were just dead by the time I hit the concentration curls. Only allowed for 2 assistance reps before calling it in sets 2 and 3.

Really focused, and energy levels through the roof.
 
Will probably go for a run in the morning tomorrow, but will be a planned day off from the weights (as I did just 4 in a row).
 
Solid session bro.
Do you think your running is hindering any mass gains? Obviously not strength, but I read a lot about running causing too much muscle catabolism. I have also noticed that I am able to grow and keep my growth a lot easier since I am unable to run much. Granted it takes a lot more dietary discipline to lose fat now too.
 
Solid, Wasme! Were are you getting the GVT workouts from?

I looked a Simply Shredded and then a mix of what Montego and Kleen had to say. Montego had the back width/thickness days which I really liked so credit to him there.

No problem. Give it a try sometime. So far I am really liking it.

Depending how you look at it, it can be boring, but the challenge of trying to get 10x10 and the right tempo is actually engaging. And of course the mental aspect when you are at sets 4-5 and realize you have 5 or 6 more to go. I decided to start rotating through different accessory exercises and rep ranges too when possible to just keep it fresh.

I'm thinking of trying out the 10x10 with your 4.0.X.0 tempo, but with my own variation of exercises. If I super set like you do, how many different exercises do you think I could do in an hour? That's my weekday time limit after warmup.

I actually timed my Back Width/Shoulder workout.. it was 41 minutes and was 6 exercises (2 of which were 10x10).. so probably 8.

Nice session bud. What kind of rest periods do you use?
 
Very Impressive on the volume on benching wasme!! I'd tap out after just few sets of 10 reps lol. How's things been going?

Thanks Andrew. The energy and focus I am getting off Stimul8 is just making it that much more intense.

LOL, yes I am able to down the shake. The appetite suppression is still there just not as strong, but far more apparent on a morning dosing when fasted.

Day started as per norm with a run (5.5km) fasted.

Then was off to work.

I bet those squats were killer! What rest did you use for these?

Sorry for butting in. Don't start with a full scoop. Go just under to access tolerance.. Last night I dosed a full scoop after not taking it for a couple weeks and i was too stimmed out, and over tingly! 3/4 is my ss.

Might try 3/4 scoop homie. I liked two scoops of Condense and one scoop of Muscle Marinade mixed and a heaping scoop of Stimul8 makes me ZOOM!

Rest has been pretty consistent on all days 30-45 seconds.. basically the time it takes to go from leg curls and get set up under the bar, take a deep breath and hold on tight! lol.. The supersetting fashion is an awesome addition to GVT.

Go with a full scoop ... you are a total stim junkie like myself (even more so). And you will be surprised how a full scoop will prove to be all you'll need.

Stimul8 at 1 full scoop is awesome... 3/4 of a scoop though is all I truly need to power me through (with a great hang time), and be in the zone.
