Sorry to bring up a old thread, but thought it to be a better idea than creating a new one. Anyways, I have recently started Max-OT, and have reached week 3 (first routine change), and I am noticing that there are NO oblique lifts (are these really needed?), and that this routine is seriously lacking in the deadlift department (oh sure there are SLDL, but I need REAL DL's!). And I looked ahead and the routine, and it goes to the 3 workouts a week (with more volume), and then the 3on 1 off routine. Well, with me being a meso-endo, I try to stray from only 3 workouts a week, and I really am new to the 3on 1off routine, and have had no experience with it.
I guess my question is, should I use the Max-OT principles (the overloading, and intensity), and create my own routine (complete with swapping of days, and lift changes) or should I just continue for the 12 weeks and see how my results go. I am not one for wasting 12 weeks of training, so I would like some opinions on some of the lacking points of Max-OT, as I am sure you all know more about training than me (a troubled teen trying to act like abodybuilder
). Also, did everyone who has attempted it take the week off every 4 weeks?
