My personal opinion, I think it's hogwash. I checked out the official MAX-OT training philosophy. I think the guy is a juiced up beast that's going to make gains like he has from any training routine. He doesn't back up any of his claims with scientific studies. Where Bryan Haycock has. And he doesn't seem to even understand the science behind the training. I'm much more convinced by Bryan's research and development than by any other bodybuilding information I have ever found.
Everyone knows the more you can lift, the bigger you will get if your diet allows. Duh!
Problem is, it doesn't always work out that way. Sometimes, you just simply cannot lift any more weight.
I was stuck in a heavy lifting rut for months. With a slopped together routine. I wasn't getting bigger, and I wasn't getting stronger. No matter what I tried. I thought maybe I was overtraining. Took some time off and reduced my workout frequency. Didn't help. So I trained more often. Didn't help. Upped my diet even more. Eating more total calories and protein every day. Didn't help any more than a tiny bit. Probably more placebo effect than anything. Come to find out after reading the MAX-OT philosophy, I had basically been doing MAX-OT the whole time! And stuck, dead smack in the middle of a rut(plateau).
How Ironic.
Now, I've had minimal results with my HST experiences too, but I blame that entirely on my diet. I believe I simply wasn't eating enough. I went off my crash weight gain drinks shortly before embarking on my first HST cycle because I was growing a belly.
However, I am sold on Bryan's explanation of the science behind mucular hypertrophy. It just makes perfect sense.
