Arms this morning.

And, for the twenty-third week in a row, I forgot to do forearm work.

More like alternating sets, I take 30 seconds or so to catch my breath.

Get way better response to doing chest than arms that's just how i've found it over the years.. Better response from back than shoulders.. Legs have been in the middle.. Good ab genetics while not having the best waist genetics.. i've found that when you have smaller waist it looks better from the back but a little bigger from the front? And when you have an above average to average waist it will look good from the front when you're at 12% or below but from behind you're a little thicker and takes away from a aesthetically pleasing physique.. Well to an extent.. Average person thinks everyone looks great that lifts.. Talking about from bodybuidlers

I've been contemplating switching to German Volume Training for about the last two weeks. Today, on the drive home from work, I decided that tonight would be the night.

For compound upper body work, I've decided to perform 10x10 of a primary movement followed by 3-4 sets of an "accessory" movement.
So, tonight's workout consisted of chest and back and looked like this:

Flat dumbbell presses - 10x10
Pec-deck - 4x12
Pull-downs - 10x10
Machine pull-overs - 4x10-12

Tonight - and, I suspect the next week or two - was and will consist of some experimenting to get the weights right. I'm excited to see how this turns out for me. I've read lots of positive feedback from trainers who've used the GVT principles, including some of the variations. The use of "accessory" exercises is from something I read years ago in a Charles Poliquin article.
