For Size the Reps are to low. Looks like you need to double your Reps.

Instead of 4-6 Reps. Should be 8-12...

We'll start by listing the principles of Max-OT, as directly stated from the Max-OT Handbook :
Each workout should last 30-40 minutes.
Train only 1-2 muscle groups per workout.
Do 6 to 9 total heavy sets per muscle group.
Do 4 to 6 reps per set.
Rest 2-3 minutes between sets.
Train each muscle group once every 5-7 days.
Take a 1 week break from training every 8 to 10 weeks.

Max-OT is size and strength training program...at least everyone claims that

I've heard good things about it, but I am also a bit confused about this (especially low reps - as you mentioned)

I have always felt 4-6 was ideal. Stick to the principals and see where it takes you. It kept me continuously gaining for years.
