Question for Leah regarding a previous post about coaching

Hey Leah, I have a quick question regarding a previous post you answered for me. Back around mid July I asked you about starting the BBM coaching when I got back from a 6 week long trip for school. Well I am back and I just got a good new job but I am in the process of moving, getting rid of my current place and finding a new place. Training should be an issue but I am short on funds until things settle down. My current plan was just to run the Hypertrophy template at maintenance calories to shed some of this excess fat I have now that I am 165lbs @20% instead of around the 175lb @20% that I left with on my trip. Just wanted to ask if this seems like a reasonable idea to clear up some extra fluff until I can afford the coaching, which should be soon.
thanks

Hi Willy, welcome home! Hope it was a great 6 weeks. The hypertrophy template would be great, and it’s keep an eye on your intake but unless you are quite short or have a notable waist size, I would not worry about getting back to 165 immediately. Make training a high priority, eat well, and do the conditioning. It will be good! And then we’ll start up with coaching when you are able to do so.

Thank you, it was awesome. Only 5’6, sound good I’ll finish this up and catch up with you guys for coaching soon.
