and are you supposed to rest on days 5,6, and 7?

i read your article about OVT, and i was wondering how much weight you are supposed to use for your sets? like bench press for example. Are you supposed to take just 60% of your max? because that is not difficult at all only 5 times

I just read your article on OVT. Once I calculate the max 1 rep & start the first set with 60% do I keep that or increase it for the following sets and at what increase/set?

hey, I'm a powerlifter that's hit a bit of a plateau while me and my partner were training. We checked for something to switch things up a bit and found your GVT article. As someone who's been lifting for 3 years I think it's phenominal. Mind if I reference you to the workout on my profile?

Hey man, I started German Volume Training this morning and I based it on your article. I'm going to keep at it the next 4 weeks...I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks, Dave

Yeah, I'm starting to think that the folding chairs is the way to go. They can be a little wobbly, and you may have to put some padding where your hands go, but that still may be the best way to go.

Looks a little wide to me. But how does it work? I've thought about using something like that before, but using a lat tower. It was too wide though.

Yeah getting rid of the fat is probably the hardest part. I was lucky with my metabolism in that regard but I eat clean as hell when I'm trying to drop the fat. Damn near no bad food for weeks at a time. It's tough. Not a very social thing to do either lol.

That's all I do them is once a week. The core gets a lot of work with things like front squats and stuff on other days. I kept a log book and every week would try and get more reps on those crunches. Eventually, I worked my way up to 35 reps with 35 Lbs. of weight on my chest. Did it while I was bulking and yeah they did grow that way, at least for me.

I bought some cheap plastic ones. I think that building your own may be a better idea though. Either way, it's cool because you can adjust the width of them easily, and you can spot yourself with your legs since you're so close to the floor. Chairs can work too.

Thanks bro, a ton of hard work and crunching with 25-35 Lbs. of weight on my chest. Fun fun fun.
