I love training in the gym, and the 12 week strength program calls for lifting 4 days a week in the first 8 weeks - awesome. This is my 2nd or third time finishing this particular template, and around this 9th week training block I find that training only 3 days a week makes me sad.

I will run the 4 day 7 week hypertrophy next. But I’d ask is it wise to switch now? Or finish the May 2017 12 week strength program and then dive in full boogie?

Thanks in advance  
John

I would finish the 12 week strength as written and then switch to the 4 day hypertrophy template 🙂
