Advice going from 12 week strength template to a meet prepping with Powerlifting II

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

I have one last training day with 12 week strength before doing openers. I decided to sign up for a meet on Feb 18 and had planned to get the Powerlifting II template which would give me two weeks before the start date of the program.
Two questions: Does this sound like a smart decision to use the Powerlifting II template after 12 week strength?

And, while this isn’t technically a meet prepping template, I do feel peaked and strong. Should/can I test at the end of the program or would it be best to save it for the meet? (For more context I tested all three lifts with the Bridge in July and failed a last attempt in all three lifts)

Yep, that would be fine to run those templates back to back. I think both of those programs are, in fact, designed to peak you for a meet so I would plan on running them as they’re written.
