I have been training for hypertrophy for over the last 6 months and I will be starting a weight loss period (ideally 2 months in duration or less). I have powerlifted before and I am eager to get back to it. Do you think running the powerlifting 2 template durring and after my weight loss will be inferior for muscle retention compared to running hypertrophy style training durring my weight loss? Should I wait to start powerlifting untill after my weight loss?
stats:
22 years old 205lbs
35 inch waist
400 squat
280 bench
415 deadlift
2 years training
I don’t think it’s likely to make a difference either way, though this isn’t a medical question.
