Hi,

I’m preparing for a meet at the end of April and I’m currently doing the 12-week strength program (it’s great!). I have a couple of questions:

One: Is Day 4 of week 13 the meet day?

Second question: What sort of training do you recommend for the week immediately after the meet? I was thinking of running the 4-day hypertropy template, followed by second run at the 12-week strength template to prepare for another competition in October.

Thanks again for all the great resources you’re providing here.

Hi Codgerus,

Yes, week 13 is meet week. Glad to hear you’re enjoying the template!

And post-meet, one of the hypertrophy templates would be my pick.
