WTF, I signed up, how do I get the program? I am wanting a routine to follow and I cant seem to find it. What am I missing?
How the hell would I know what that weight it???
Honestly, I would just start with the bar and work up. You'll thank yourself later. You'll have much better form practice this way. Don't rush it.
"It's not a sprint"
I glanced over this program...I was reading over week 1 and it says "Remember, the weight you use should be light enough to do four reps, but heavy enough so you can't do more than 6 reps. Each set should be done to positive failure."
How the hell would I know what that weight it???
Also, I can't access the links to any of their videos...it says "Preview DNS is not enabled for this hosting account."
I like the "So You Think You Can Bench" series on YouTube. In addition, Mark Rippetoe also does a good job explaining a lot of the exercises. He is sort of a windbag but he knows what is going on. Sometimes when I need a refresher, Exrx.net works too.Where is a good video for form or a gif, so that I know I am doing it right
it is giving you a rep range. you need to read through the workout and follow the principles, not just "glance" through it.
If you did 5x5, how would you know what weight to start with to get 5 reps? why would the max-ot be any different? shoot for 5.
I don't know what the video issues are, as I am not affiliated with them or their website. but the lifts are the basics, bench, squat, deads for the most part. You should be able to youtube them if you need help on form
I can tell you if you want a workout that requires the least amount of time in the gym for big strength and size gains, max-ot is it

The 5x5 program tells you how, if you read it.
