I’m getting ready to finish up Strength I at the end of this year, and I am trying to plan a path forward. I’ve alternated between Powerbuilding I and Hypertrophy I for awhile, but I am getting great results with Strength I. Based on the what’s next guidance in the template, I was planning on starting the new year with Hypertrophy II. I was then going to follow that with the new Low Fatigue Strength template. The reasoning to do this rather than Powerlifting II is because I have no intention of competing, however, I want to make strength my primary goal with hypertrophy being secondary to support increases in strength.
While thinking through all of this, I was wondering what your thoughts were on mixing blocks from two separate templates rather than just running them back to back. For instance, rather than running Hypertrophy II straight through for 10 weeks followed by Low Fatigue Strength straight through for 16 weeks, could it be worthwhile to run the first block of Hypertrophy II followed by a block or two of Low Fatigue Strength, then repeat the process with the second block of Hypertrophy II followed by the remainder of Low Fatigue Strength?
