Macrocycle plan.

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

So I’m on the last week of the hypertrophy 2 template and am going to be laying my next years training plan out. just wanted some feedback from the BBM crew since I’m running your programs (programming for myself is difficult and I’m lazy)

so it’s laid out a little like this for now unless you recommend something else. I’m not competing or anything

Olympic template
Hypertrophy 2
Strength 2
Hypertrophy 2
Strength 3
power building 1 or 2

I want to do the oly template because I’ve never done the Olympic lifts so it seemed interesting to me. If there is anything you would change or any comments about what my plan is I would like the feedback. Thanks!

This looks fine to me unless you get a wild hair to push some cardio work for whatever reason.

Also…would you suggest a maintenance phase for nutrition or a gain while I’m running the oly template?

I would make this decision based on your existing needs for weight loss vs. weight gain. If you could stand to gain some weight, you can do it on the Oly template.

I’m pretty happy where I’m at so I’ll more than likely maintain. Since Its my first time doing the Olympic lifts should I expect any sort of newbie gains? Or is having a 10 year powerlifting specific training history throw that out the window?

sorry to high jack the thread.

I currently in phase 3 of the beginner template and was looking at planning my training as follows:

hypertrophy 1
power building 1
strength 1
hypertrophy 2
power building 2
strength 2

does this seem like a rational training plan?
