Max-OT

[back2thegym]

There seems to be a number of posts on this forum recommending Max-OT, and they're from some dudes who sound like thay have it together.

I'd like to try it, but I'm wary of routines that you have to *buy*. Here's a blast from the past for ya: Remember "Cybergenics"? It was HUGE about ten years ago. I went for it whole hog, followed it strictly, spent ****loads of money -- and saw no real gains.

So, you can understand why I'm a little gun-shy. Is there any links to sites that explain (in detail) what Max-OT is?

max ot is free u don't have to spend a penny to use the program... alhough they do advertise their supps in the articles, but you don't have to buy. you can still follow their training methods.

Bro, Max-OT is free. You don't have to buy a damn thing. Go to www.ast-ss.com and check it out. You have to sign up. I usually takes a day or so. If you want my password, post here and I'll PM it to you.

Cool -- I'm a dork, sorry. I saw the sign-up **** and I thought they were gonna hit me up for some cash. Thanks bros.

Allright. I signed up and have read through the philosophy and week one description. It certainly makes a lot of sense to me. I'm sych'd -- think I'll give it a try. I'm travelling this week and the hotel gym is bare bones, so I'll begin in eight days.

Since I workout alone, I like that the routines don't incorporate negative failure or other things that definitely require a spotter/partner. I'm down with almost all of it, but the 2-3 mins between sets might be the hardest thing to get used to (I usually rest 1 min). I guess you just have to fend off the other dudes who want to get onto the equipment while you're resting between sets.

Tips anyone?

I usually make like i'm stretching for a good minute in front of the machine and then sit back down on if the equipment has a seat =). 2 min isn't that long if you need it too

Alright im week 2 Max-OT... gotta slight problem... Ill use today's workout, arms and abs as the example.
Max OT principle #5... rest 2-3 minutes btwn sets.
Alright Tuesday: 18 sets for 4 muscle areas... Add 5 warm up/acclimation sets per muscle area and a grand total of 38 sets. say you rest 2 minutes btwn sets thats 76 minutes of rest, havent even added in the time that the actual sets take.... its not quite in line with...
Max OT principle #1... Each workout should last approximately 30 to 40 minutes.

Im guessing this is just something i should shut up about til i get further along in the course but any explanation of what is going on would be appreciated.

I've just been using their basic principles in my workouts, for example, chest day (today)

2 sets of flat BB bench press, warm-up
3 sets of 6 flat BB bench press
3 sets of 6 incline BB bench press
3 sets of 6 decline flyes
3 sets of 6 weighted dips

this normally takes about 45 minutes, counting the stretching and warm-up. I think the most important part is to go "roid rage"max-intensity on the first set of each exercise, but still maintain perfect form. It's a lot harder than it sounds! :lol:

I have heard a bunch of people say, that training each bodypart once a week is not enough, and that Max-OT ONLY leads to gains in strength, not size. What do you think?

[C Man]

Enough people have gained size using it or they wouldn't still be using it. No program is perfect for everyone, that's the law of individual differences at work.
