For the past year, I’ve used Time Crunch 2.0, Bodybuilding 1.0 (block 2 but just rotated through movements) and Hypertrophy 1.0, and Strongman (Block 1), due to nursing school. I was able to train and get in sessions with short rest periods and super setting. There is a 10 week or so period coming up, however, where I can actually train more and thus utilize any of the more “time-demanding” templates. I was thinking maybe powerbuilding 2 (4 day) or hypertrophy 2 (4 day). However, after that, due to school going to be demanding yet again, I’m going to be forced to go back to a three day template/using time crunch.
My question is that, would I better off not exposing my body to this increased volume and training if it would cause future templates to be less effective? I don’t know if this makes sense, but I remember some threads back then where it was recommended that if an individual used a 4 day template, to NOT go back to the 3 day ones (although I’m not sure why or if this is even the case). For what it’s worth, I still made gains this entire past year on these “lesser” volume templates even though I’ve used powerbuilding 2 and hypertrophy 2 before that.
I also got the new bodybuilding 2.0 and plan to use the 3 day block on repeat (also I plan to purchase the 2-day template and use that!) for a long, long while when school gets busy again. So basically, my question is: Would exposing myself to one of the “4 days templates”, due to the increased volume, make those “3 day templates” less effective for me in the future? I suppose not, because 1) otherwise time crunch wouldn’t be a thing 2) you can’t infinitely increase volume forever, and 3) finally because training does eventually call for rotating between high and low volumes? I know I’m overthinking this so I apologize!
Also, any chance for a time crunch 3.0?
Thank you so much,
