    Weight training or resistance training is the most basic element in muscle development and strength enhancement. Emerging research is also revealing weight training's positive effect on health and well being, disease reduction, self esteem, confidence and longevity.

    Training to build muscle size and strength and training to "stay in shape" are very different yet almost identical. As conflicting as this may sound, the basic premise of weight training is to overload the muscle. This overload invokes an adaptation response within the muscle. This adaptation to the overload results in increased muscle strength, density (tone) and size. No matter what your goal in muscular development is, the overload is what allows you to obtain this goal.


    What is Max-OT?

    Based on this simple, proven scientific fact, we have pioneered the development of the absolute best weight training program in existence: Max-OT (Maximum Overload Training).


    This unrivaled training regimen has propelled drug-free bodybuilder Jeff Willet to 3 Team Universe titles, including the 2003 Overall Title and IFBB Pro status - an almost unheard of accomplishment for a drug-free athlete. If you want to build maximum muscle and burn maximum fat, in minimum time, this is how you do it.
