Cutting while maintaining strength

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

Hi docs,
I am finishing up the powerlifting 2 template in a few weeks. When I am done I am looking to cut for about 5-8 weeks. What would be the best template to run while I am cutting to maintain size and strength? Hypertrophy template or should I just re-run the powerlifting template?

Thank you!

You can do either. I’d probably do the Powerbuilding II if it were me, just because I want the extra volume with less fatigue and still want to practice the big lifts.
