Low volume? I wouldn't have called it low volume. It is pretty middle of the road split training.

Nothing wrong with Max-OT as long as you remember that it is for beginner thru intermediate lifters, has no level of periodisation, and is fundamentally flawed such that you can't stay on it for more than a cycle or two.

Max OT is ok but its lower body days suck and so does its progression for Deadlifts.

I agree with Tim, I think it would work well for those starting out, but the training has ZERO periodization. It basically counts on you just getting stronger and stronger within the hypertrophy rep range without changing anything but the exercises from time to time.
