Currently about to begin Week 9 of PB1. Happy with this choice for a number of reasons: Better dialled into RPE, strength gains even whilst recovering from knee arthroscopy in May and body recomposition improvements.

I’m now more focussed on strength over hypertrophy so considering: Strength 1 and Low Fatigue Strength. Though my interest was piqued by Jordan’s reference to PB3 in light of his recent experiences.
Recommendations and advice, please.

Sparsky,

Thanks for the post and happy to hear you did well with PB I. I’d recommend one of the following:

  1. Repeat PB I. You did well with it, so why fix what isn’t broken?
  2. Move onto PB II. Similar setup to PB I, but 1 more day of training.
  3. Strength I. Same # of training days as PB I. Similar level of training stress, just allocated differently. I’d favor the first two over Strength I given your previous response, but I wouldn’t fight you on moving to STR I.

Thanks, Jordan. I’ll repeat PB1 for now and review next year.
