Modifying MAX-OT with 3x3

[Eisenbieger19]

Hello guys,

I'm on a calorie restricted diet at the moment and train with a MAX-OT 5-split.

Eventhough I am losing fat, I gain very much strength, except at benching. I'm training for 1 1/2 years now and I've noticed that I feel much better doing benching with a very low rep range (1-3).

So basically I want to modify my MAX-OT 5-split and train some exercises with 3x3 though.

My MAX-OT plan:

Monday (legs):
- Hackenschmidt Squats with barbell (6 replies, 3 sets)
- Stiffed deadlifts (6 replies, 2 sets)
- Leg curl (6 replies, 2 sets)
- Calve raises (15 replies, 3 sets)

Tuesday (chest):
- Benchpress (6 replies, 3 sets)
- Incline Benchpress (6 replies, 4 sets)

Thursday (back & biceps & forearms)
- Deadlift (6 replies, 2 sets)
- Barbell row (6 replies, 2 sets)
- Barbell row different grip (6 replies, 3 sets)
- Barbell curl (6 replies, 3 sets)
- Barbell curl reverse (6 replies, 2 sets)

Friday (shoulder & triceps)
- Frontpress standing (6 replies, 2 sets)
- Frontpress sitting (6 replies, 3 sets)
- Side lateral raises (6 replies, 2 sets)
- Nosebreaker (6 replies, 3 sets)
- EZ-extensions standing (6 replies, 3 sets)

Saturday (abs)
- Weighted leg raises (10 replies, 3 sets)
- Weighted crunches (10 replies, 3 sets)

Sunday off


That's how my plan is at the moment.

I would like to do following exercises with 3x3 (3 replies, 3 sets)
- Standing frontpress
- Benchpress
- Barbell row


So basically the new plan would look like this:


Monday (legs):
- Hackenschmidt Squats with barbell (6 replies, 3 sets)
- Stiffed deadlifts (6 replies, 2 sets)
- Leg curl (6 replies, 2 sets)
- Calve raises (15 replies, 3 sets)

Tuesday (chest):
- Benchpress (3 replies, 3 sets)
- Incline Benchpress (6 replies, 4 sets)

Thursday (back & biceps & forearms)
- Deadlift (6 replies, 2 sets)
- Barbell row (3 replies, 3 sets)
- Barbell row different grip (6 replies, 3 sets)
- Barbell curl (6 replies, 3 sets)
- Barbell curl reverse (6 replies, 2 sets)

Friday (shoulder & triceps)
- Frontpress standing (3 replies, 3 sets)
- Frontpress sitting (6 replies, 3 sets)
- Side lateral raises (6 replies, 2 sets)
- Nosebreaker (6 replies, 3 sets)
- EZ-extensions standing (6 replies, 3 sets)

Saturday (abs)
- Weighted leg raises (10 replies, 3 sets)
- Weighted crunches (10 replies, 3 sets)

Sunday off

Would this be possible? Or does it lead to overtraining? I'm looking forward to some advices!

Cheers
