German Volume Training
(10 sets of 10 reps)
If you are at a plateau in your training or would just like to try
something different, you should give the "German Volume Training"
method a try. This is a great program for packing on muscle mass
quickly. Gains of ten lbs or more in six weeks are not uncommon!
The "German Volume Training" method is easy to follow. The goal is
to do ten sets of ten reps with the same w eight for each exercise.
You need to start off with a light w eight, approximately 50-60% of
your 1 rep max w eight. For example, if you can squat 300 lbs for
1 rep, then you would use between 150 and 180 lbs for working out
with this exercise.
For this workout you do only 1 compound exercise for each body part.
Some good exercises include:
Chest:
Barbell or Dumbbell bench press
Back:
Barbell rows or Cable rows
Legs:
Squats or Leg press
Shoulders:
Seated barbell or dumbbell press
For smaller muscle groups such as biceps, triceps, calfs, abs,
etc. you can do 3 sets of 10-15 reps. (i.e. 3 sets of bicep curls,
3 sets of tricep push downs, 3 sets of calf raises, etc.)
Here is a sample workout schedule that you can follow:
Monday:
Chest & Back
- one exercise for each and do 10 sets of 10 reps
Wednesday:
Legs, calfs, and abs
- 10 sets of 10 reps for legs
- 3 sets of 15+ reps for calfs and abs
Friday:
Shoulders, biceps, and triceps
- 10 sets of 10 reps for shoulders
- 3 sets of 10+ reps for biceps and triceps
Do not workout on Tuesday, Thursday, and weekends. This will give
your body plenty of time to rest and grow.
Rest only 60-90 seconds between sets. The first few sets will feel
easy, but as you progress through the workout the sets will get
harder as you fatigue. When you can complete all 10 sets of 10
reps with good form increase the w eight by 5%.
Give this program a try for 6 weeks and I am sure that you will
be pleased with the results.

Motivation
By Zach Bashore
Being motivated is very important in fitness, only the truly
motivated will reach their goals. How do you keep from eating
junk food? How do you keep training day after day while only
seeing little to no improvement with your body? If you are
serious about achieving your fitness goals, being motivated
is the only way of obtaining them.
You've all heard the story about the mom lifting up a car to
rescue her baby as it is trapped underneath. Why do you think
she was able to lift up the car when on a normal day she
wouldn`t have been able to lift up a tire? It is the same
way when you are at a job or getting ready for a big test at
school. You have a motive of doing something and will
achieve what you want at all cost.
So how do you improve your motivation? Well first, set a goal.
This will give you an outside source to look at and as you
review it everyday, you will become more and more motivated
as you come closer to achieving it. Having to look in the
mirror everyday is enough motivation for me and seeing a big
f at roll hanging out of my shirt would make me feel ashamed.
You also need to give yourself treats like buying a new
supplement or having a small cheat meal when the weekend
comes around. I always know that after I get done training
that I get some simple carbs which keeps me motivated to
finish the workout.
You have to love the feeling when people compliment your
body. It is a feeling of satisfaction and makes you want
to keep going. On the flip side, you also hear the
complainers and people with sorry excuses to why they
are f at and out of shape. These people put everyone else
down because of their jealousy. So you must decide, which
one of these people do you want to be. The one receiving
the compliments or the ones doing the complaining. It's
your choice.
Editors note: If you've ever felt there was something holding
you back in life, ruining your plans and stopping you from
being who you want to be, you were right.
The fact is, there is a single source of all your problems,
stress, unhappiness and self-doubt. It’s called the reactive
mind - the hidden part of your mind that stores all painful
experiences and then uses them against you.
Dianetics gets rid of the reactive mind. It’s the only thing
that does. Get and Read Dianetics by L. Ron Hubbard.
