well there are a few methods to it,but basically your workout is 10x10. its about overloading your muscles with volume not weight.kind of like 5x5 workout but more reps and sets,the same guidelines though.

be sure to keep me updated send me a message or something i really like that idea and might try it but it would take more than a couple weeks to notice the results

I think it is a great idea to mix up your training and go for high volume training.

A few of the nattie competitive BBers I know have used this.

I have done this with squats, OMG.

I do think it is a better workout for the compounds, you wouldn't want to be doing ten sets of ten reps for bicep curls.

i use it but get bored easily and it wreaks havoc on my shoulders. it is effective though

like i said im doin a spilt routine. 3x10 on each exercise for three exercises then 1x10 that isn't a compound move. heres a chest routine
3x10 incline
3x10 flat
3x10 decline
1x10 files

I did try GVT for a while but not an entire workout,
I will only do one exercise 10x10. It was brutal!
I can't say that I gained much either but it's good change of pace. I'm sure if I did some fine tuning I could have gotten it work for me. I think that my first mistake was to do this for bicep curls

If I have to do it again I will stick with flat bench, squats and maybe deads

There's a think red led between high volume training (intensity) and over-training. If you don't supplement well, eat very well, sleep great, then chances are your training will be more catabolic than anabolic.

For sure, from my experience of most heavy duty routines is that I can't go more than max of 8 weeks then I need a break.
6 weeks is my ideal blast then I cruise for 2-3 weeks or more
