Overload is more important than variety.

I don’t believe in the idea that you need to confuse your body with different exercises on a regular basis in order to get continual results. As long as the overload is progressively increased over time, your muscles will keep being triggered to respond to the heavier weights they are subjected to. I use myself as a prime example. I’ve done the same basic exercises for years on end...

I was recently asked if I could address the issue of bringing up lagging body parts. This is a pretty common question and here’s my take on it. It is inevitable that you will have some body parts that seem to respond quicker than others. Following a smart plan like Max-OT will naturally improve overall balance.

Max-OT Cardio Tips

Posted by on Jan 15, 2010 in body building, cardio, drug free, Max-OT | 33 comments

Remember not to over complicate Max-OT cardio. The goal of Max-OT style cardio is to work out of your comfort zone for 16-20 minutes. You need to be “huffing and puffing” throughout the session. Simply put, if you complete 16 minutes and it feels easy then you are not working hard enough. Don’t worry too much about what program setting you choose, what machine you are on or how...
