Is German Volume training good for beginners?

 

German Volume Training is not good for beginners, especially when done with a barbell. The body has to get used to high volume and movement patterns. You should also gain some experience in how to pick weights for yourself before starting a GVT cycle. A good alternative is Stronglifts 5x5.
