4 day template over 3 days

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

Hi there,

I’ve just started Powerbuilding 1 again, but want to run a hypertrophy template after this 10 weeks is up.

I purchased the Hypertrophy 2 template but due to time constraints I can only train 3 days a week. Do you think I’d be better off:

  1. Doing 4 exercises per day instead of 3, or
  2. Sticking to 3 exercises per day and shifting workouts along accordingly (e.g. moving day 4 on week 1 to become day 1 on week 2 etc, which would extend the program to 12 weeks instead of 10).

Thanks

I’d just do the first option in this case.

To follow up on this topic.
If someone could train only 3 days but can squeeze in additional slot every day, would you rather recommend no 1 of your templates ( 3day versions of hyper, pwb and strength) or hyper2, pwb 2, and strength 2 to be done in 3 day fashion?

For more context, I’ve runned every of BBM 3 day templates so thinking I can maybe benefit from more volumu/frequency
Tnx
