Is this a 4 day split? Is it good for weight loss? I have been running PB2 with success on getting inches down. My weights haven’t increased at an impressive weight and really closer to maintained. I think that is because I am on a 500 to 1000 deficit trying to get the waistline down. I have dropped from about 230 to 215 and hope to be around 210 after this block. Waist is around 39 inches but i haven’t measured recently and am down a notch on my training belt.
So I am curious if this is sort of an update to PB II or something a bit difference. The description of having a peaking phase tends to make me think it might not be as good for a calorie deficit. I have a couple weeks left on PB2 and was thinking about BB for a change of pace and since it is 6 weeks and I am closer to the goal it is easier to finish a block and be ready for a strength template if I am at or near the goal of 37’ or 38’ around the waist.
On one hand it is sort of don’t fix what isn’t broke or the other a little variety might not hurt to freshen things up. I guess one last question is what is the advantage of peaking in an “offseason” program? Is it meant to be kind of a strength template light? Meaning for people who who would like to peak but don’t want to do strength template.
it has been a long journey losing around 10" on waist and about 50 lbs with some significant breaks but I am getting closer. So I can’t complain about running the PB 2 with a few BB breaks but something a little different doesn’t hurt. I am thinking around 200 might get me to the waist goals but that is harder for me to guess than just looking at the scale weight. I am 5’6" and having been training in various styles more off than on since about 1985 (50 y/o). So I learned scale weight goals aren’t necessary what you think they will be.
