Any suggestions?
 
Depends what your goals are and what your current lifts are. Only squats 1x per week is a bit light for me, but if you lift hard and progressively add weight any program can work.
 
ive run max-ot numerous times for 6 month stints. can be quite effective i found after 6 months or so it can put a real beating on joints and can lead to injury as maxing out every set can be streneous on joints especially if you technique is not perfect
 
Don't feed the troll boys

Hey 'may' be a troll but what makes you think he is? Max-OT is a legit bb program.... Joel used to swear by it.

Edit - Scratch that, thought it was Weavel who started the thread... FQQS how did the last 5 programs you posted up here go for you? Seeing as you asked people to critique your programs every other month l doubt you give them enough chance to work. There no magic pill just work hard and be "consistent" Fuck me.....
