-This is the end of my first week going lighter than I should've. Next week I'm picking up the weight to where it should be, pushing myself. For the above exercises, I hit a biceps exercise, rested 2 minutes, then hit the triceps exercise underneath it. I maximized my recovery time while keeping the gym time under an hour by fluctuating between bodyparts. I measured my biceps after that tremendous workout and they were 19 1/4! Great pump! Tomorrow I'm taking a day off, then hitting legs, then another day off before I start chest again. I just don't like taking 2 days off in a row.

Skip to 2:50- Beginning of show.
At 6:20 he talks about how everyone has different muscle fiber types but the program still works.
At 11:40 they talk about the importance of loose form allowing the most overload while preventing injury.

My rest day. I upped my carbs and protein each by 100 grams because I view off days as growing days. I also got a full 8 hours of sleep today which normally I wouldn't get.

-Under an hour gym time. I added some more exercises than before for my quads because I want them bigger. I did 4 warmups for squats. The hack squats I did using a machine so I can spare my back for the stiffleg deadlifts. I could've went a little heavier in almost all the lifts but I just didn't have the motivation too. Mainly because I'm working 12 hours through the night tonight. :(

Chest
1.Barbell Bench Press: 305 X 6, 315 X 5, 315 X 5
2.Incline Bench Press: 255 X 6, 275 X 5
3.Incline Dumbbell Press: 110 X 6, 115 X 6
4.Weighted Dips: BW X 12, 35 X 10, 35 X 8
5.Speed Bench: 6 Plates X 10
-Started off with an extra ten pounds on my first set of bench press. The rest stayed the same. I could've went a little heavier on the second and third one, but my triceps were really hurting for some reason. All these numbers are without a spotter touching the bar. Increased my inclines, both the barbell and dumbbell. Obviously I could've went alot heavier on my weighted dips, but I still feel like I'm still not used to the Max-OT workouts quite yet. As for speed bench, I did this just to finish off my chest. It isn't something Max-OT recommends, but I felt up to it. I used a machine and loaded three 45 lb plates per side. When I did my reps, I pushed as fast as I could, held for a second at the top of the movement, then had a good three second negative. I let the machine go all the way back until it touched the beginning, then did it again. I like the variation of using this method because it really strengthens my fast twitch muscles and joints for the heavier loads to come.

Sounds like you like hitting your legs the best. I've only just started lifting legs after years of neglecting them. I think I do pretty good considering I just started lifting them about a month and a half ago :eek:
