German Volume Training
 
OK!! Guys this is somethin u need to try.

ill be honest i dont know what it is fully, havent looked into it yet but...

i havent been able to make my chest hurt the nest day for MONTHS so my friend suggested this training

he said "get 60-70% Of your maximum weight, and do 10 sets of 10 with 1 min rest between

then 3 sets of dumbell flys....

and ur done... *(i added another set of 3 cable crossovers to faliure & 3 sets on the chest press machin for failiure after)

THIS WORKS!!! end of but u should probably look more into it first online....

bt if u have trouble with chest, have a try

So essentially, more sets and keep the rest in between down?

I have started to do more sets, but your form starts to break down after 3-4 sets, so I drop the weight down as I go, hitting failure at each. By the end I'm at about 40-50% of my 1-rep max and fooked. Definitely makes the difference.
Doesn't just have to be your chest, can be done with any weights workout.

Started this in March. It's an 8-10 week programme. You can do the same with whatever mucles you training. I used Shoulder Press (10 x 10, 1 minute rest) for my Shoulder exercise. Barbel Curl for my Bicep. Skull Crusher for Tricep. Bent Over Row for Back.

I was fine for up to the 7th set and it killed me afer that. Was gonna started this again last week but the guy I trained with broke his wrist. So Im training on my own at the moment. Good exercise and highly recommended. Good luck!

10 sets, 10 reps and exactly 1 minute in between sets. It was trial and error when I first started as I didnt know what weight I could lift till the 10th set without losing form. But in all honesty, it was hard to keep on till the 10th set. I needed a spotter haha!!

The bit I don't get is this:
You aren't gonna be able to continue to lift 70% of your 1-rep max after 10 sets.
Or do you mean 70% of your typical 10-rep set? Would make more sense...

It is this and not your 70% of your 1-rep max. You mad?

actually i was told its 60% - 70% of ur 1 rep max... wich for me is 80k ish, but i started on 60 the other day, got all 100 reps out. but what ur supposed to do is rep to fail, so if 7 set in u can only get 4 out, just get them...

do this 10 times, eventually once u can do 10 for 10 move up a weight,

keeps ur muscle guessing and worked harder than the time before

u do really need a spotter to o it properly but even at lesser weight is effective
