No I meant the opposite of the way you took it. I'm saying not to do the Max-OT until you train your muscles to get to that point. Max-OT is a waste of time if you use lighter weights. The whole idea behind it is to add more weight and reps each workout through the course of time. To build muscle you need to increase the workload. If you want to follow the dynamics behind it until you feel good to go, then these guidelines will help. I modified some of them from what Max-OT teaches:

-Only compound movements
-Start off with 9-10 sets in a workout
-Warmup the way I described in the incline flyes post.
-One muscle group per day

If you follow these fundamentals, it should get your muscles ready to begin the actual Max-OT program. Take at least 2-3 weeks to record what exactly you should start with for weight.
