I did the MaxOT for a while and liked it but ended up modifying it a bit because I wanted a bit more endurance muscle rather than bulk.
I also have to be careful because my shoulders bulk up really fast, so I have to limit how much I use them in my workout or I look like a hunchback

I was on Max OT late last year (pre shoulder injury) and loved it. I will be starting it again soon, and I'm also thinking about taking creatine and protein, instead of just protein.

Wrong
Many people mistakenly believe that using higher reps will burn away the fat in a specific area. It won’t! Weight training is an anaerobic activity and does not directly burn fat. The sole purpose of weight training is to stimulate muscular development and this is best achieved through heavy training in a 4 to 6 repetition range.
The best way to decrease your body fat is to monitor your caloric intake and cardiovascular activity. The bottom line is you need to expend more energy (calories) then you are consuming.
Reducing body fat takes time and discipline. There are no short cuts other than adhering to a precision nutritional schedule and working hard on a consistent basis.
Using higher reps to achieve greater definition is not good strategy. In fact, it is counterproductive to your overall goal. If you lower your calories, increase your cardio, and lighten up on your weights you are setting yourself up to lose precious muscle. Losing muscle is obviously not desirable and will lower your metabolic rate hindering your fat loss.
If you continue to train heavy while on restricted calories you will keep stimulating muscle growth. After all, your goal should be to stimulate muscular development every time you grab a weight, especially as a contest is approaching.

I still need to find time to go workout.
When is the best time to workout(Lift)? Morning, afternoon or night? Or does it not matter.
I have been loosing a little weight(or at least inches) since school started just from eating when I'm hungry instead of at every meal. I eat until I'm not hungry then stop.
