Max-OT is an intense weight training concept/program which revolves around the idea of exercising using
heavy weights at low repetitions usually with a 2-3 minute rest between each set.
Max-OT is built on the concept of maximizing the efficiency of each
workout and minimizing the amount of time in the gym. It consists of
doing 4-6 repetitions per set, and doing 1-5 sets with 2-3 minute rests

Max-OT is built on the concept of maximizing the efficiency of each
workout and minimizing the amount of time in the gym. It consists of
doing 4-6 repetitions per set, and doing 1-5 sets with 2-3 minute rests
between each set for eight to ten week cycles followed by a week of
rest. A workout session usually lasts 30 to 45 minutes. Each body part
is worked once a week using free weight exercises to ensure maximum
growth. Max-OT primarily relies on compound exercises to work both
major and stabilizer muscles.

Firmly grip the bar with your hands almost twice your shoulder width apart. Position your feet about shoulder width apart and your toes should be pointing just a little outward with your knees in the same direction. Keep your back as straight as possible and your chin up, bend your knees and slowly lower your hips straight down until your THIGHS ARE PARALLEL TO THE FLOOR. Once you reach the bottom position, press the weight up back to the starting position. Don't lean over or curve your back forward! You can use a Belt to help reduce the chance of lower back injury. You can put your heels on a 1 inch block to further work the quads. You can also use a wider stance to work the inner quads even more. Exercise description by Bodybuilding.com (less)

Grasp the handle grips or sides of the seat. Bend your knees and lower the weight as far as possible without changing the position of your hips. Do not lower the weight so far that your hips start to curl up off the seat! Then slowly push the weight back up using your heels, not your toes. Do not lock your knees at the top, but rather take the weight to just before lock. Then being to lower the weight again SLOWLY. You can change your foot positions to vary the angle on the muscle.

Hold bar with hands about 16 inches apart. Straighten up while holding the bar at arm's length. Lower back down to the floor but do not let plates touch. This can be a dangerous exercise if not done correctly or done with weights that are too heavy. Can also be done standing on a bench or box (so that plates don't touch the floor) or with dumbbells.
