Good Day doctors, I’m coming off about 1 month layoff.
currently sitting at 5’10” 240lbs after a pretty depressive period. Still got decent muscle mass, just a bit fluffy.
I’m about to embark on therapy for some severe childhood trauma that’s resurfaced.
my main goal is to lose fat and get back into shape.
I’ve got the low fatigue, bodybuilding, PB2 and 3, and hypertrophy 2 templates.
with the fact I’m going through some serious mental shit right now, I’m curious what template you think may be the best to maintain muscle and lose fat for the foreseeable future while not driving myself into the ground.
TN,
Thanks for the post and sorry to hear that you’re going through it right now. I’ve had my own brushes with demons before and though our situations are different, I can empathize with where you’re at.
I’d either do the BB or time crunch template right now with the deciding factors being how much time you want to spend training and what sort of training you want to do. If you’re wanting to spend 4+ days a week in the gym, do the bodybuilding template. If you really want to do strength-focused barbell stuff, do the time crunch template.
Either way, staying active is likely to be beneficial for you during this time. Hang tough, brother.

Thanks Jordan appreciate it. I’ll take a look at the time crunch template and see how it compares.
otherwise I may just run the BB template on a longer timescale if I need to.
