GVT while cutting?!

Hey Community ,

I finished my 12 week 3split Plan for cutting and i want to go harder now. At the moment i eat about 2400kcal with ~280g Protein , ~240g Carbs and under ~33g Fat.
I know GVT is for gaining muscles - but can i use it for remaining as much muscles and decrease the loss of muscles while cutting?
My workout routine would look like this:

Mo:Chest/Back
SuperSet
10x10 Bench Press
10x10 Bent Over Barbell Rows
SuperSet
10x10 Dumbell Flys
10x10 ChinUps (with help)

Tue:Cardio
30min low/mid Cardio

Wen:Leg/Abs
SuperSet
10x10 Squats
10x10 LegRaise
SuperSet
10x10 LegPress
10xfailure Crunches

Thur:Rest/Off

Fri:Shoulder/Arms
SuperSet
10x10 Dumbell Shoulder Press
10x10 Bicep Curls
SuperSet
10x10 Lateral Rise
10x10 Skull Crushers

Sa:Cardio
30min low/mid Cardio
or
20min HiiT Sprinting/Walking

would this routine be productive while cutting or just a waste of time?
Hope you can help me! :)

No.

GVT is a short term bulking/strength-endurance program designed to be used on a calorie surplus.

And has little more than half the volume of what you posted:

Notice that you only do 10 x 10 for one big exercise and one complementary exercise.

Assistance work is lower volume......so it won't cut into progress in the big exercises.

GVT
Advanced German Volume Training(AGVT)
Smolov
Junior Smolov
etc

They are "over-reaching" programs.

They just about drive you into the ground(when you are eating like an alpha predator), then you reduce volume for a couple weeks or so to recover. Then you can test or do another intensive cycle, not necessarily the same.

Eg

GVT
low volume recovery
Intermediate GVT
low volume recovery
Advanced GVT

That should get your attention:).

You would expect to be heavier after that if you eat enough to do it at all without getting weak/ill/injured.

On a cut, the rule of thumb is to use lower volume. You cut reps/sets/assistance exercises. But you try to maintain intensity(percent of max) by keeping the load high to keep muscle.

On a bulk, the rule of thumb is to use higher volume. You add sets/reps/exercises. But you try to increase the load progressively. The extra calories will help you handle the volume and the increasing load.

Wow thanks , very informative! :)

Sorry.

MFT28 is another supplement sales pitch, disguised as a program.

Apart from the real over-overreaching programs mentioned, and a few others(5 3 1 Boring But Big Three Month Challenge comes to mind), anything that promises big gains in 4 or 6 weeks is probably an all out scam, like MFT28.

That's why nobody bothers to recommend them here(except the guys trying to sell you dodgy supps*).

GVT is a real program.

*There a few proven supps that are perfectly healthy, and perfectly cheap.

Okay thank you again - will check these out. :)
