MAX-OT

Anybody tried this programme? results?

All positive as far as I know and yes, been training like that most of my life. Suppose it does matter wha you want to reach?

Want to build muscle...and a bit of strength but mainly muscle

I got more strength than size from this work out, But obiously strong muscles aren't going to stay small and will eventually grow..
im now adding in different exercizes, supersets, dropsets and im looking leaner and fuller.. i guess its body specific. You have to try different training methods and see which one suits you

Checked it out this morning. I would only use this if you've hit a plateau or need to increase strength.

Increased strenght means heavier weights = bigger muscles?
Am I missing something?

maybe. depends on what side your bucks are on. Mine are on the 'slightly higher reps 8-10.

Im not trying to make MAX-OT look like hog wash. Im sure it does work. But In my personal opinion the old famous 8-10 rep range is king for growing muscles fast.

And Besides, Arnold didnt max his reps at 6 :)and he's the KING!

He would mix things up -- sometimes he'd even work out twice a day. He did a lot of forced reps and pyramids by adding weight to each set. He preferred doing 6 to 10 reps per set and sometimes (to break though plateaus) did 20 sets per body part.

@ Hustler

Think you misunderstood me a bit. I'm all for Max-q BUT when you hit a plato you have to change your program a bit (diet also maybe)

I also then revert to supersets especially. It all boils down to you knowing your body. My one partner was a monster and he believed in 10-12 rep sets. Whatever works for you - for me its best to use Max-q type of traing most of the time.

Also I'm not into BB, I like working with a bit heavier weight.

@ LSJ

I think you misunderstood me too
Like I said above, I too think that it would work best for strength training or when you've hit a plateau.

However, I think with our arguments, we've both come to the same conclusion! haha

Oh well, peace bro
