Gpp endurance or hypertrophy

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

BBM Folk,

Last day of the Bridge 1.0 is tomorrow. I had really nice success (20 lb increase on squat, 20 lb increase on DL and 5-10 lb increase on bench with this program and I’m really liking this approach to programming. I’m 5’7 and 220 lbs. I started the bridge at 228lbs. I want to get down to 200lbs but still keep training. I’ve read through the descriptions of each template and Leah’s Sticky recapping all of them but I’m torn between GPP Endurance or GPP Hypertrophy to use as a template to train with. Both say they could be used in this manor but just wondering if you would suggest one over the other in my case. Once I get down to 200lbs I’ll be doing the 12 week Strenth program.

Thanks!

You can do either, but unless you have a strong endurance bias, I would do the GPP hypertrophy program(s). The endurance template is slanted toward those who really want or need to get longer conditioning work in.

Okay awesome. Thanks for the response!
