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. 57 years old. Male ---

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. -Jordan ---
