"German Volume Training has always had a bit of lore in the gym; this ultra-intense form of training is guaranteed to put on pounds of muscle. But while intense, it's a simple training method that has you perform 100 reps of your favorite compound exercise in 10-15 minutes - it's a ton of volume in little time. As muscle hypertrophy is dependent on training volume, this should definitely work!"
"German Volume Training (GVT) is a classic old-school training method that comes from Germany (obviously) and was made famous by the German national weight-lifting coach, Rolf Feser, in the 1970s. It was then made famous in North America by the late, great Coach Charles Paloquin. Coach Paloquin first introduced GVT in the early 90s, but introduced it to the general population with his 1997 book The Poliquin Principles and later in an article published in Muscle Media in 2000."
German Volume Training (GVT) originated in Germany and was popularized by Rolf Feser and later Charles Poliquin. GVT centers on a 10x10 rep scheme performed at roughly 60% of 1RM with 60–90 seconds intra-set rest to deliver 100 reps quickly and create high volume, tension, and metabolic stress. Muscle hypertrophy correlates with training volume, so GVT can be effective but outcomes vary and research offers mixed findings. GVT primarily targets compound movements, though it can be applied to isolation work. Exercise difficulty and load adjustments are necessary for harder movements such as overhead pressing.
