A weight training manual by Cody Lefever, creator of the GZCL Method. General Gainz is how he has trained himself and his clients for the past seven years. This is not your typical percentage-based programming! Using his proven tier system, Cody (GZCL) has aligned each tier (T1/T2/T3) with Rep Maxes (RM) and associated "Volume Drop Sets" (VDS), a feature that makes General Gainz unique among training programs and methods. The benefits of VDS are many, but faster average bar speed and higher rep quality are two of the foremost considerations, as they enable more productive training and easier recovery.
This manual outlines the structure, covers critical concepts and details, and provides several template programs. But, with all the information provided, General Gainz can be (and should be!) tailored to your goals and abilities. This manual also covers how and why those changes might be implemented in the gym. Whether your goals are powerlifting, bodybuilding, or just generally (as the name implies) improving your size, strength, and endurance, General Gainz is for you.
