Well, according to them, yes. But, my example was for someone who isn't following Max-OT's 4-6 reps. So, it's beneficial IMO to do more reps with that weight and go from there. Max-OT's standpoint is if you can do 225 x 5, then start with 235 x 5. This warmup I posted is a good guideline to give people a rough idea of the proper way to warmup. Depending upon who's doing it, the weight used, reps needed...That'll dictate how to incorperate this into their plan.
For your average Joe Blow weightlifter looking for hypertrophy->mass...I recommend the above example, using that same weight but more reps. For strength->mass, I recommend their example using 4-6 reps and adding more weight. Please note that 4-6 reps does achieve hypertrophy, but to a smaller extent.
For Max-OT training, I feel it's perfect to begin your training routine with. Results in both strength and size come quickly in the first few weeks IMO. After that I recommend changing gears (periodization) and both condensing muscle groups together and adding more reps (8-12) followed by a week off.
