Thoughts on GVT?

GVT, assuming you are referring to 10x10, IMO is really unnecessary. That is just too much volume, and really when you do this you are working more on muscular endurance that anything else, so if this is what you want then fine but for hypertrophy the 5x5 or something like that will produce better gains.
I did this program a few times before, and really didn't get much out if it except for VERY sore legs after squats. To get bigger you need to get stronger, and 10x10 for strength is far from ideal.

According to the article I read, that is only for the first 2wks of the program. After than you should be doing a set/rep scheme of 10/6, 10/5 and 10/4 in consecutive weeks. Increasing the weight each time. Then take the weight you do 10/5 and use that to do 10/6 with it.
Here's the article:

Thats a variation on the original GVT program, which is 10x10. As JDub said, its not the best program for muscular gains. IMO, its better for fat loss than strength or muscle gains. The caloric expenditure for that program is incredible.

Im surpriced then that Charles Poliquin recommends this for size gains.
What about the way the old timer George Turner trained 10x10?
Dropping down in weight every second set.
