I'm 6' 181 right now. I've noticed that it has made me somewhat thicker overall, especially my upper body. That is not to say that my lower body hasn't felt it either, but I believe that my legs and my back are my strongest points.

During the summer I had to go to a 3-4 day split because I didn't have availibilty to the gym much due to traveling, etc. I still adhered to some max-ot principles, but I didn't get to do individual training sessions like I do with the 5 day. I will probably do this for another month then switch to another form of training.

I'd suggest you try Max-OT out though. There are a few 'max-ot disciples' on here that can help you out (e.g. Rich Wallace).

Fire and jager are probably the max-ot experts. Good chest workout overall

Alright...we'll still be there for support when she isn't...remember that.

I know that, without BB.com I dont know who else I would whine to. I used to bottle it up and take it out on other people eventually

**BRADP3** · 08-28-2005, 09:46 PM

I wish I could sympathize with you. Not having much trouble in that department of women

Sarcasm? Hey I was tired..need to get my sleep schedule in check

**sword_** · 08-30-2005, 04:48 PM

After doing 5 sets of squats and 3 sets of fronts, it's taxing. After that I did some Leg Curls and Leg Extensions. Exhausted, I decided to push calves to another day (e.g. shoulders or chest). Despite going lower in weight on my squats and front..slightly..I still felt it was a great workout. Beads of sweat were running down my head.

Squats 135x10 225x8 315x4 315x4 295x5 (am i getting weak?)
Front Squats 195x5 195x4 195x4
Leg Curls 280x9 (MAX) 280x7 (MAX)
Leg Extensions 240x7 250x6

**waitlifter82** · 08-30-2005, 05:00 PM

Yup, looks like a solid workout...... but I only count 3 (real) sets of squats there

I 'worked' from 7:30 to 7 and I'm still not done

By work, I mean recitation, office hours, class, and grading differential equations. Haven't even thought about my hw

**MXdawg2** · 08-31-2005, 03:39 PM

Everything looks good so far, strong workouts. Your going to abide by this program before long, it's some addictive ****.

**de_rog_blixum** · 08-31-2005, 03:41 PM

Sorry for the late response guys...as I am a computer nerd (linux guy here) I somehow ****ed up my partition table and needed to reconfig my system. Luckily everything is in tact.

Anyways..I have an arm workout I did today that I will post later on.

JFP, I hope to reach 185 by my birthday (oct 19th) and 190+ by christmas time / end of the year. Being an ecto..or being that I apparantly don't always consistently imput the calories I need it takes me a SLOW ass time to gain muscle mass.

I'm eventually going to a non max-ot workout in about a month. It will more than likely be a 3-4 day split instead of the 5 im doing now.

**sword_** · 09-02-2005, 05:07 PM

Here's a tip: Don't go with lazy ass partners. GhostFaceKillah knows who im talking about...and I had to abridge my workout for him due to his whining.

I still got a good bit of tris and bis in, but next time I will either tell my boy to cowboy the **** up or go hizzome

Skull Crushers 85x8 95x6 95x6
Reverse Pushdowns 150x6 150x6 150x4
Tricep Pushdown 145x6 145x5
Hammer Curls 45x8 45x6
Cable Curls 125x8 135x6 135x5

**sword_** · 09-02-2005, 05:13 PM

I had to skip the shoulder workout yesterday to finish up some math work so here's the plan:

-I did back today
-I I will do chest/shoulders tommorrow (some makeshift hybrid workout)

Back day is always my favorite day. So many motivational lifts and it is one of my strongest points on my body. Today I met a very cute girl named Beth and explained to her why NOT to use the smith machine with squats as i saw her doing them with it. So I 'spotted' her on a real squat within a squat rack and I went down with her

Anyways..

Deadlifts 135x12 225x10 325x6 335x5 335x6
Barbell Bent Over Row 175x5 175x6 175x5
Got bored waiting for cable rows... 15 pullups
Seated Cable Row 190x6 190x5 190x6
Bored again...10 pullups
Lat Pulldown 180x7 180x6

Impressive deads, there

**sword_** · 09-04-2005, 10:36 AM

I missed those two workouts during the middle of the week, so I decided to do them together, since they work similar muscles. 14 sets. After the clean and presses, incline dumbell press, and dips, my flat barbell press was horrible due to my exhaustion. Considering the amout of time I put into this, this was a good workout. Oh and after that I went to a pre labor day bbq since we dont have monday off.

Clean and Press 85x8 115x6 135x4 135x4
Incline Dumbell Press 55x8 70x6 70x5 70x4
Dips 50x9 50x6 50x6
Flat Barbell Press 185x4 165x5 155x5
