After the Press Template/competition, I plan to do the Hypertrophy template. Five weeks after the Hypertrophy template, I need to start the Strength template for a powerlifting meet. Any suggestions what I can do for that 5 week period between Hypertrophy and Strength? And in case it is relevant, the end of that 5 weeks happens aligns with my attendance at the Santa Cruz BBM workshop.

So, I would propose doing this:

1. Run press template until completion
2. Run Strength template first 5 weeks
3. Run Hypertrophy template x 7 weeks
4. Restart Strength template
