When you say that it "worked", do you mean it worked in the sense that you were like,
"Whoa, I'm so much more swole now! Everything's bigger!"

Just curious is all. I am thinking of doing the same training I'm doing now, but do GVT for just biceps . . . see what happens.

not so much bigger, there were some gains, just the strength that came with it

GVT is not for strength, just to pump the muscles.

i understand that but i really only gained strength from it to honest..the pump was great but size was not noticeable to me

That isnt correct. I also gain tons of strenght after doing a month or so of GVT, bench goes up a lot, pump in the gym of course but strenght in the long run.

Not even close bro........ The overload of volume actually stimulates growth through a different pathway..... By CNS overload and the nervous system trying to adapt defensively to the shock. Good science behind the program when performed correctly with proper rest intervals, exercise selection, and progressive overload over the weeks.

I use it once per year and really like it for growth when calories are kept in a surplus.
