I just started MaxOT and according to the MaxOT program, pyramids are really bad.

whats wrong with just doing straight sets of between 6-10 reps? thats size training all day.....warm up some, then do 3-5 sets at the same weight etc
5x5 aint strictly a "size" workout"Humility comes before honor"

max ot has THE best warmup 'philosophy' ever. and i only say that cuz everyone else seems to forget the basics: dont fatigue the muscle until u get to your working sets.
pretty simple.
