I decided to switch to from Escalating Density Training (EDT) to German Volume Training for the next couple of months or so.
The goal of the German Volume Training method is to complete ten sets of ten reps with the same weight for each exercise. You want to begin with a weight you could lift for 20 reps to failure if you had to. For most people, on most exercises, that would represent 60% of their 1RM load. Therefore, if you can bench press 300 lbs for 1 rep, you would use 180 lbs for this exercise.

My training looked like this:
Kettlebell Incline Press- 24kg bells - 10 sets of 10 - 100 reps
Chin Ups- Bodyweight - 10 sets of 10 - 100 reps
I finished with:
Double Kettlebell Swings - 24kg bells- 2 sets of 10 - 20 reps
One Arm KB Rows - 32kg bells - 2 sets of 10 each arm - 20 reps each arm
My workout log for the last 16 years. Every workout that I have done since February of 2007 is listed here. I decided to move my training log from a notebook to online and needed a name for the URL. I was training with mostly Kettlebells back then, thus the name - Kettlbellrob.
