Hey BBM team,  
I am currently cutting at a weight of 78.9kg (173.9 lbs) , i have a 34-35inch waist, and i am 172cm or 5 feet 7.  
Currently i really want to gain some muscle, especially my arms. I am currently doing the home template but the gyms are opening up next week.  
I don’t know what to do, what template should i run? I wont be able to build muscle while cutting so i don’t think doing the hypertrophy template is the best choice.  
Should i purchase the strength template and use that, then use the hypertrophy or possibly the soon to come bodybuilding template?

I would probably do the Powerbuilding I template. If you haven’t regularly trained your arms, I’d expect them to grow when you start training them- cutting or not 🙂
