I thought it would be a good idea to keep this thread updated.
I am still doing the Max OT program and have moved into the "2nd program/phase" of workouts.
Currently I am very pleased with this program, I am setting new set records almost every workout. This alone feels great, but I am also developing additional size as well. Nothing major, but I had mentioned either here or in a previous thread that I am in a "cutting" mode. I haved gained three pounds, and have lost body fat, which is a good thing. I need to measure my gains in my muscle groups, but I have been sort of lazy about it.
Well now I have moved into the 3rd phase of the program. However I am confused on where I go from here. Before, in the other stages, you are given precise workouts to do. Now (as best as I can tell) there are types of workouts to pick. So I need to sit down and figure out what the hell I want to do, but I digress.
This program is great. My strength levels have continued to rise every week. What used to be a "maximum" lift are now my minimums on the program, I talking consistent, not "I am glad I ate my Wheaties today." I have also continued to gain size without gaining too much fat. This of course isn't exclusively thanks to the program, but also to my diet as well. I am currently @ 210 lbs.
Well enough bull-shit I will share some of my new records.
Leg Press 900/4 three times and 950/4 once (most recent) I have done mid 800's consitantly throughout. Using this type of Leg Press
Standing Calf RaisesHave improved from 580lbs to performing sets of 600's and 700's consistently. Using a device similar in construction to this...
Deadlift has improved to 415 for 4 reps consistently
Incline Bench has gone up to 315 for 4-5 reps consistently
On all the dumbbell pressing movements I have moved into 120lbs, which is an improvement.
I am proud of the last two, because for the longest time I was on a plateau.
There are other big improvements that I have made, but these are the ones that I am most happy for so I will stop.
I don't know what else to say this post is too fucking long anyway...so I guess if I think of anything else I will post it.
