Thanx for all the great input guys,

I tried looking for some periodization info and found some on elitefts, but its pretty complicated

Still thinking what i wanna do, gonna do a 3 way split for awhile, gonna go on vacation soon and after that i will look for a training program

^^ I'd be inclinded to give Max OT a miss. Great for beginners and low level intermediates but not for anyone with a good training history.

I'd say that the programs that TJ and Freako have linked and outlined are 1000x better. Just take a little more thought.

Periodization can be complicated but if you take the time to read a few articles you will figure it out. It becomes even more complicated when you try to make it work for you. How do react, nutrition, recovery, stress, time, intensity, volume etc etc. Learn trough trail and error. A good step could be to try out some WSB style training and read up on some periodezation articles for your next training cycles.

I agree with Tim. Max-ot wouldnt be the best choice.

I'm thinking about trying that add 50 bench program from that site. I was reading on some other forums that some people were gaining like 35-45lbs on it and its only a 7 week program. I think I'm gonna start it out today.
