MAX-OT (Maximum Overload Training) Workout
In this workout we’re going to focus on stimulating maximum muscular overload with the MAX-OT Program! MAX-OT is a training program that was created by Paul Delia from AST Sports Science supplement company. This program has been available online since the early 2000’s and it’s a very effective strength and muscle building program.
Natural Drug-Free Bodybuilding Champion, Skip La Cour, really helped to promote this style of training when he was a sponsored athlete with AST Sports Science. It was from following Skip’s programs where I learned about MAX-OT training.
I first followed this program back in 2004 while I was preparing for a bodybuilding competition and I was pleased with the results. It’s definitely one of those programs that stands out in my mind as a very effective workout for making measurable gains, in both size and strength, in a relatively short period of time.
MAX-OT stands for Maximum Overload Training, the idea here is to cut through all the fluff and training hype and simply focus your training purely on stimulating maximum muscular overload in the most efficient means possible.
In a nut shell this is a 5 day per week workout program that works each major muscle group once per week. The training sessions are short and should not take you any more than 45 minutes to complete.
The workouts themselves are based around heavy compound strength training exercises. Most exercises will be worked in the 4-6 repetition. However, some smaller moves for the calves, abs, and forearms will be worked with higher reps in the 8-15 rep range.
The rest periods between sets are purposely kept long, usually between 2-3 minutes between sets, and even longer if you feel you need more rest to fully recover and handle maximum weight. The main idea behind MAX-OT is to overload the muscles and push yourself with honest heavy lifting, NOT simply pumping and fatiguing the muscles with a temporary lactic acid burn and cardiovascular exhaustion due to lack of rest between sets.
