MAx-OT

[John G]

Has anyone followed this program? What were your results like?

 

[Bobba]

Yupp! And the results are great so far. I would absolutely recommend it.

 

[rich197]

yeah I loved it for bulking but I started to try and cut and it seems a bit on the low side but that is great for bulk hard and short.

 

[Elite_Fry]

[Parabellum]

Max-Ot is a fantastic workout. Give it a try, you will not regret it!!! Try it for six months, you'll be amazed.

hmmm..ok had to sign up

Yep, been following it for 6 months with great results.
Short and fast.
But I tweak it by putting in some "light" weeks in here and there. Heavy lifting for such a long time is B-O-R-I-N-G!

Thats funny, I would say that light lifting is pretty boring, I live for the heavy stuff...

 

[PANTS]

I agree, but then anything done for too long becomes tedious. So I think a bit of periodisation has its place. Just made some great gains on my 2 light weeks after 8 weeks of heavy.
Now I'm really amped for the heavy again!

My first day trying it and man i got a workout like never before. they always say that intensity is needed to grow, well this program is perfect for that. Worked my back and man i'm still shaking. I never thought 6 reps would be enough but 6 reps is just fine when your trying to move that type of weight.

I'm using it right now - the only problem is the order of the workouts in some of the routines. For example, in week 1 they have you work legs on Monday and then the upper body work Tuesday - Friday. That doesn't work for a lot of people (like me) - if I worked upper body four days in a row, I'd be the poster boy for the Tendonitis and Joint Pain Club. So I keep their workouts but rearrange the order: chest, legs, arms, off, shoulders, back, off. That way I never work upper body more than two days in a row, and lets me keep chest and shoulder workouts as far apart as possible.

 

[cure]

I just re-arranged everything. The main thing i liked about the workouts is that i never thought i could go so heavy. It's mind over muscles folks. 6 reps is the best. Enables you to lift heavy while keeping your concentration on form. Works wonders.

Max OT

I've been following Max-OT protocol for a while and have been amazed with the results. My strength has gone through the freaking roof. You've gotta do this.

 

[PANTS]

MAX-OT rules.
Short workout= max gains

 

[Complete Muscle]

I just took a week off of training and started a Max OT style program this week. It's brutal. I like it! I still feel pain from Monday's work out (it's Fri. now). I had been working out in the 8 rep range for the last few months. Who'd think there'd be such a difference between doing 8 reps vs doing 6. I really like the warm up/acclimation thing: True warm-up w/o fatigue. I can tell this is going to give me some good gains if I can keep up the intensity. Cheers to Max OT!

 

[voodoo]

I like it alot. Sooner or later you end up changing everything around. I had to add sets here and there for lagging parts for a week or two.

In the end you will find what works best for you, but the ideas surronding it are very good.

Give it a try, you should see results

 

[Needhelp]

Do you gain mass or mainly strength?

 

[Needhelp]

How much weight have you guys gained? Gain much fat, lose fat?

And for some reason, it's been 2 days and they haven't sent me any emails but the autoresponder......

 

[Frackal]

Using Max-OT principles I went from 155 to 195 naturally in less than a year...it's fucking unbeatable, I still do the 4-6 rep training today.

 

[Needhelp]

I signed up again yesterday, and still nothing..
nice progress frack, how much did your bf increase, or did it decrease?

 

[Needhelp]

Well, still no email...

Is MAX OT divided up into different phases? What's the first phase/week of training look like?

Do they give you specific routines, or just outlines like 4-6 rep range, only 10 sets each WO, etc...?

It gives nutrtional advice, too, right?

I'm starting @ 160, so basically like you Frack

According to their nutritional calculator that you don't need to sign in for, I should do this:

AST Sports Science Nutritional Calculator
Here is your daily macro-nutrient breakdown for building lean muscle mass without adding unwanted body fat.

Calories - 2400
With an ectomorph body type at a body weight of 160 pounds and a "Slightly Active" activity level, your total daily caloric intake should be 2400 calories.

Protein: 306 grams
Of these 2400 calories 1224 should come strictly from protein. That equals 306 grams of protein per day.

Carbohydrates: 216 grams
The calories derived strictly from carbohydrates each day should total 864 calories. This means your total carbohydrate intake per day in grams should be 216.

Fat: 34.67 grams
Fat intake should always be kept to a minimum. Out of the 2400 calories you consume a day only 312 or less should come from fat. That's a total of 34.67 or less grams of fat per day.

Did you start out like that frack? I know you eat like a madman now , but what did you do then?

I'd love to get up around 190 w/o too much bf gain, or even bf loss
