Hi all
I am training for my first bench competition (its April 19th, just less than 10 weeks away). I started Max-OT last week, and I was wondering if that would be a good way to approach this comp, or if there was anything you would recommend other than that. Thanks!

I'm not very fond of Max-OT.. but if that's what you're doing.. just eat.. eat lots for the next 10 weeks.. I would do a light day heavy day.. and hit the major lifts 2 X's weekly if were preparing for a comp..

Load up on BCAA, eat a lot more than you can handle, caseinate shakes at night, caffeine sups if needed preworkout, arginine at night, and of course your multivitamin.

Thanks for the help! Other than the eat everything I see ideas (i have to make weight) I will follow those suggestions... are there any other thoughts on Max-OT or suggestion for a better way to train?

Like I mentioned in the previous post.. I'm not fond of Max-OT... I would just concentrate on primary lifts performing each 2 X's weekly..
Squat
Deads
Flat Bench.... on heavy days.. throw in a set or two of bench rails.. 20% over your max..
OH Press
Heavy BB Rows..
I would do a 5X5, maybe a 5X5, 5X4, 5X3, etc.. for heavy days.. and
do a standard 3 or 4X10 on light days......
and I agree with everyone else on the BCAA's.. . just make sure you eat quality food.. if you eat tons of quality low bad fat food, and work hard, your fat gains should be minimal...
