Can you mix German Volume Training and Stronglifts 5x5 ?
My personal take on it
Based on 10 month on 5x5 & one month of GVT
No, if focus is muscle gains
I found GVT to be the best program I have been for muscle gain with 5kg in month while losing strength. Therefore focus on GVT only
Yes, if you have the time
By all mean if you have the time to do a session of 10x10 and 5x5 on the same day, be my guest. Maybe cyle the routines in a way that you do upper 5x5 / lower 10x10 on one day and 10x10 Upper / 5x5 lower on other days. Otherwise you will put yourself through even more unnecessary pain if you do 5x5 and 10x10 upper.
