Hello BBM crew,

Are there any major structural differences between the 4-day and 3-day version other than one more day and more volume?  
Meaning, can the 4-day version be converted to the 3-day one just like in the 12-week strength program?  
I’m asking because I’m not sure whether I’ll be running 4 day a week or 3 day a week programming after I finish this strength block due to time constraints and recovery resources.  
So I was wondering whether buying the 4-day program will sufficient in both cases.

I’m not sure what you mean by “structural differences other than an additional day and more volume”.

Anything can theoretically be “condensed” into a 3-day template, but that doesn’t mean you’ll tolerate that much training volume right away, or that a 4-day template condensed into 3 days is “better” than the 3 day template.
