Have not tried it.
Lifting heavy and getting muscle is not the same thing, when you get under 4 reps per set then you train just for strenght, not for muscles. 4-8, 6-10 and 8-12 is the optimum rep ranges that focus on muscle growth.
Try it out for a while and report back on your gains and experiences.

It's VERY intense. Thats what matters, the intensity of the training. Dont ask if someone found it good or found it bad, try it out for yourself and see if YOU make gains with it. Cause as we all know every body is different.
You might be worried that you wont make gains over the X amount of time you're trying it out, but thats cool, if not then you havnt done any damage. If it works, then thats ace and you've just found yourself a new way of lifting.
Goodluck with it

German Volume Training is discussed in the march 2004 issue of muscle & fitness by tim scheett. It says to perform the sets going fast and as you progress the reps will become harder/slower. It requires 2 minutes of rest between sets. There is also a 5x5 workout plan that is also great for building strength.
