Did chest/tris/shoulders yesterday
Went heavier with the dumbells and that was a mistakeI used 105lbers for DB incline bench 10x10, the last 4 sets I did 6, 4, 8, 6 and my chest was and is completely destroyed. I could only get 6 sets of shoulders out, they could not take anything else. Hit my biceps for the second time this week, did some more 21s for biceps, by far the best shyt you can do for them so props to wheoever recommended them and I did tricep cable pulldowns & dips to finish up.
My chest is on fire right now, arms are shaking anytime I hold them up.....I love you GVT.
Interview with my chest during the 4th set -
I took more than the 60-90 second rest they recommend
It was like 2-3 minutes between sets, I even asked for a spot towards the end. Definitely bit off more than I can chew.

just reading through you guys talking about GVT has me scared to even try it. i thought PHAT had a lot of volume, but these 10x10s are insane. even when im doing my warmups on compounds like 135 on bench or squats i try imagining busting out 10 solids sets of 10 reps with short rest and i can already feel my body laughing at me.
It's by far the hardest routine I have ever done, there are times I feel like quitting and wondering why I'm doing it to begin with. But you see such rapid improvement in strength and your body that it's hard to stop. I'm sitting there with my headphones on giving myself a motivational speech around the the 7th set, no joke either on some "you can do this" shyt.
You don't have to always hit 10 reps, the thing is you have to try to go for it. If you can't you stop and regroup for the next set.

Anybody have a good calisthenics leg routine? I'm recovering from a pulled hammy and want to rehab a little with body weight before I get back under the bar
