7 weeks gpp template modification to 3 days verison.

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

hi,
I’m 31 years old male weight about 94 kg /1.77 / 20% BF~ and waist circumference of 96-97.
I have a family history of high cholesterol (both my parents use statins and my LDL result in the last blood test I did was high ( LDL at 170.4mg/dl, HDL at 39/mg/dl and non-HDL cholesterol at 200).
resulting in me moving on to a more aerobic focused program in the aim to lower my BF and to elevate my HDL.
my program of choice was the 7 weeks gpp for start.

my questions are :

  1. can I do the program in 3-day format by combing the aerobic and the anaerobic into the same training session (I.e not morning and evening split).
  2. consider my cholesterol situation - what kind of program would suit me following the 7-week gpp template if I want to get stronger and still keep my cholesterol and normal healthy range?

thanks,

Serp,

Thanks for the post and hope all is well.

  1. Yes, that’s fine.
  2. I don’t know that you have a cholesterol situation that needs to be managed specifically outside of decreasing your body fat and waist circumference. I don’t know how long you’ve been training, but I would guess that if you were to slowly lose weight while cycling through some of our templates that you would reduce your waist, body fat, and cholesterol metrics while getting stronger.
