T-Bros…
Looking for some advice. I’m looking to put some strength/mass onto my arms and shoulders. I’m wondering if the EDT for arms program or new Advanced GVT would be better for adding strength and some mass. I’ve been training seriously for a little over 5 years and would consider myself an experienced lifter. Just wondering if anyone’s had enough time to try/compare the two methods. Thanks
EDT is superior in every respect. No doubt. CP’s load recommendations are the same as EDT, but EDT allows for an organic workout. You adjust your set by set rest period according to momentary fatigue. It boils all the details down to the essentials. Best gains on my arms of any program. If you understand the underlying principles of EDT, you realize that it is really the best workout concept there is. Sheer simplicity. Brutal simplicity. Takes all the arguable variables that a room full of “gurus” could argue for a decade and creates a perfectly adaptable program.
Waterbury stuff is far better than AGVT, as CW shows you how to increase frequency above once every 5 days. CP is old school on this. Conjugate periodization is superior. Check out the Waterbury Method article.

Yes. What he said.
Don’t dismiss CP…back in my bodybuilding days, I hardly completed a cycle of the original GVT. Every workout was boring and difficult as hell…but the program worked like a charm.
Good point about the boring, I remember that too. Can’t do boring.
Thanks for the advice guys, looks like EDT, that should piss off the gym-goers round here.
