Legs #2 - German Volume Training

Now, German Volume Training is something that can be done for any body part, but we find it particularly effective when done for legs.  It's a program that essentially will work with any multi-joint exercise.

Here's essentially how it works:

• Perform a multi-joint exercise for 10 reps close to failure
• Rest for 90 seconds
• Do the same set with the same weight and the same reps
• Do this for a total of 10 sets of 10 reps

Anytime you do legs, we feel it's a good idea to start off with leg extensions which are a safe way to get the joints warmed up before using them to lift heavier weights when you squat.

So here's the GVT workout we like for legs:

Remember to warm up for at least 5 minutes prior to the workout and cool down for about the same period of time.
