Hello Dr Jordan, hope you’re doing great,  
I am now towards the end of the First 3-day block( 2 weeks left) from the NEW Bodybuilding template(loved it, especially the double progression), moving forward I want to emphasize developing power, strength, and size whilst still lifting 3 days a week along with GPP of course. I was wondering if I should get the Time Crunch, Powerbuilding 1, or Strength 1. Would really appreciate your advice. Grateful for your work as always.

Yours respectfully,  
Kirill

I think you should run the first block for _at least_ another 4 to 6 weeks and then consider General S/C 1 if these goals you describe here are the same.

Thank you for your response, Would your recommendation change if I only wanted to develop Strength,(I am aware of cross-sectional area gains)?

Yes, but that should NOT be your only goal. I think you should be training for both, along with aiming to gain bodyweight slowly over time.
