How do you decide when to move up in weight on your exercises?
I train in a 4-6 repetition range using the Max-OT principles. I select a weight that allows me to get at least 4 reps on my own but no more than 6.
Max-OT – Progressive Overload, Progressive Gains
We all know progressive overload with the Max-OT principles is the key to continual muscle gains but how much weight should you add to an exercise and when should you add it?
Off Season Max-OT Cardio
After Max-OT Cardio you create a period of increased nutrient uptake potential similar to after intense weight training which makes it anabolic in that sense. Max-OT Cardio will help you increase muscle!
Hey Jeff, how exactly do you use GABA in your supplement program?
GABA (Gamma Aminobutyric Acid) is an amino acid that has been shown to increase growth hormone levels, enhance recovery, increase muscle mass, reduce body fat, and help promote restful sleep.
Are supersets good for building muscle?
Regardless of what many magazine articles may tell you, supersets are not a very efficient method for building muscle.
Real Growth Begins When the Workout Ends
You can have the best training approach in the world but if you are not supplying yourself with the fuels your body needs you will only experience a small degree of the results that you could.
I read that most of your Max-OT workouts last between 30 and 45 minutes. I usually do six sets per body part (which is working much better than the 9-12 sets I used to do) and my workouts generally last closer to 20 minutes. Is this okay? I rest two to three minutes between sets like I’m supposed to.
Doing excessive set volume and extending the duration of your workout is counter productive to muscle gains from both physiological and mental standpoints.
I really want to focus on my upper chest development and I was thinking of raising the bench so the incline is a lot steeper. Is that a good way to really target the upper chest?
I recommend starting your chest workout with 3 sets of an incline movement, bar or dumbbell and keep the angle of the incline at about 25-30 degrees.
