So i have done the first 8 weeks of Max-OT, and am finishing my week off...

so my question is...whats next?

do i just switch up the exercises? and do similar compound exercises or should i stay with the same routine? the first 8 weeks was awsome...

anyone who has advice or even better, personal experience is appreciated

The rules of Max-OT do not change, but I think it's suggested by the creator that you change up your splits, and some of your workouts. Of course you're going to keep the mainstays like bench press and squats.

By the way, did you track your exact progress through 8 weeks? I'm about to complete my 4th week of Max-OT and I'm pleased with the results so far.

I have gone from 202 pounds to 216 pounds in 4 weeks, but my waist has stayed the same at 36.5 inches (flexed) I'm 6'5" so that 36 inches doesn't look as big as it does on most people.

I didn't mind Max-OT, I got a good strength gain, however I didn't get much for size. I changed up my routine to a 6-8 rep range, and changed a few of my exercises. Mainly it was due to no longer having a spotter to help me with heavier weights, however, I also wanted to change things up and try a different rep range with a more complete ROM. I found that with MAX-OT it's easier to cheat on the ROM than with a higher rep range, as you have better control over a lighter weight than a heavier one.

I think that MAX-OT is a decent way to work out. However, I also just like working out, and enjoying the ability to put my body through strenuous ranges of motion. With MAX-OT it felt more like a struggle to complete a bare minimum, not a progressive work. Perhaps it was just preference, but I enjoy a higher rep range.

With my whole routine, i actually lost fat...but i could see and feel the strength gains...

im thinking ill keep some of the excersises, like squats which was mentioned before...and then add/change an exercise or 2 for each muscle group, and change the rep and weights to an 6-8 rep instead of 4...

i found that wiht only 4 reps it was harder to push out reps properly, i was just worried about lifting and just DOING it, rather then form and other things...

the reason i am going to do this is becuase im looking more towards a cut...im around 23-25% bf so that should be my main concern right now
