Does German Volume Training Actually Build Muscle Fast?

German volume training is (typically) where in a session, you perform no more than 2 compound exercises each for 10 sets of 10 repetitions with a 60% one-rep max load, while using 60-90 seconds of rest between sets.

This method appears to have originated from 1970's Germany, where it's believed the national weightlifting team established this method to significantly increase the muscle mass of their athletes during the off-season.

It's quite common to see individuals on the internet claiming German volume training is highly effective for putting on muscle mass fast. In this video, we aim to verify these claims with help from the scientific research.
