thanks, repped.

For those of you who do not know the Principles of Max-OT, here they are.


1. Train 1-2 muscle groups each workout.
2. Performing 4-6 reps every set.
3. Performing 6-9 heavy sets for each muscle.
4. Rest times are 2-3 minutes.
5. Workouts should last 30-40 minutes (30 minutes is optimal for max intensity).
6. Each muscle should only be trained once every 5-7 days.
7. A break of 1 week of rest and relaxation should be taken every 8-10 weeks.

I will try and stick to this as close as possible.

thanks, yeah hopefully.

i've only ever done like high frequency training, e.g. benching twice per week, squatting 2-3 times. So hopefully this should be a good switch up and i will see both strength and size gains.

Strength is kinda more important to me atm though.
