German Volume Training: The Ten Sets of Ten Workout (10 X 10)
By Tom Venuto
QUESTION: "What's the deal with German Volume Training? Do you have any experience using this method? I have been reading up on it and it promises some serious muscle gain, somewhere in the order of 10 lbs in 10 weeks. I haven't found much in the way of what's recommended nutrition and calorie wise on such a program, but I'm assuming a decent surplus would be needed to add that kind of mass. I was thinking I might give this a shot once I get leaner and would love to know if it's worth trying or just another workout gimmick." . . .

Training with Low Reps (4-6) and Max-OT: Is This The Best Way To Gain Muscle and Strength?
by Tom Venuto
QUESTION: Tom, I know you have respect for Skip Lacour, who was with AST Sports Supplements, because I noticed that you've mentioned Skip in a positive fashion before.

Now I'm confused know which way is right. Both sides make very compelling arguments. Can you shed some light on this? . . .

Tempo and Tension Maximization For Bodybuilders
By Tom Venuto
Repetition speed, also known as "tempo" refers to how quickly you lift a weight (concentric action or positive part of rep) and how quickly you lower the weight (eccentric action or negative part of rep).

| Here's what people are saying about Burn The Fat and the Inner Circle...
"Tom Venuto is a credible, qualified professional who knows his stuff. More than that, he has a genuine concern for the people he's helping. His "Inner Circle" is a premier quality resource - well worth the money, and a benefit to anyone, anywhere, of any age who is trying to lose weight. I highly recommend it!"
Paul Crane, UltimateFatBurner.com
"I just listened to the first "Burn the Fat Show" and this one 20-minute message is at the top of my list. I have motivational CD's and books coming out the wazoo and you've set a standard in your show that I look forward to listening to again and again. Keep up the GREAT work!"."
Steve Wiebusch
The support here is incredible for my morale. I'm excited about the inches I've lost. In the past when I'd get halfway there, I'd lose motivation and quit. I've never made it this far and still felt motivated to keep going. "
Rikki Fougere
"I have many people everyday ask me what my secret is and how I lost 137 pounds. I tell them the same thing - I use Tom Venuto's Burn The Fat - Feed The Muscle program and it all boils down to "How bad do you want it?"
Mike Ogorek
"I've been following the Burn The Fat recommendations and I now fit into a pair of jeans that I havent worn in a long time. The Salvation Army must love me these days, as I've liberated 12 clothes hangers and two shelves of oversized clothes since New Years!"
