German Volume Training

I must say that it was amazing.. great for strength gains. However, you will peak in around 4-6 weeks. -------------- .o0 Arnold 0o...o0 theaustrianoak@hotmail.com 0o.

Only question is what lifts should I pick for each muscle group??? I know for biceps I could do dumbbell curls, but what lifts should i do for the tricpes and chest???? -------------- "Imagine what you could do, if you could do what you imagine."

For legs, Squats or leg press. Shoulders, seated BB or DB presses. For the smaller muscle groups do 3 sets of 15. The slpit it recomends is Day 1 Chest and back Day 2 rest Day 3 Legs calfs and abs Day 4 rest Day 5 Shoulders bis and tris Day 6 rest Day 7 rest I can forward you the article if you like. -------------- do or do not, there is no try.
