Maximum Overload Training pairs heavy weights with brief workouts.
THERE'S NO SHORTAGE OF TRAINING PROGRAMS that promise to add strength and size if followed to the letter. That being said, not all of those programs will fulfill that promise to produce results and get you out of the door in about 30 minutes.
Enter Max-OT: a program somewhere between power bodybuilding and high intensity that incorporates lower reps and volume and short workouts. You'll do no more than three sets per exercise, and the reps will fall into the four to six range. This low-volume approach means you should plan to use compound movements, heavy weight, and maximum effort from start to finish.
