Hi, I currently finished powerbuilding 1 again. I’ve re run it a few times on and off and maybe it’s time to move onto a new programme. what would you suggest I should do? I know powerbuilding 2 would be the obvious choice but I’m just conscious of it being 4 days lifting which may not suit my schedule as I do a lot of jiu jitsu also. Would there be a way to condense workouts maybe? My main goal is to get stronger, I used to have hypertrophy as a goal too but I find getting stronger will cause some sort of hypertrophic response anyway. So strength is the primary focus. Where would you suggest going from here? Thanks ---

I really thing General S/C I would be an ideal setup for you. It’s strength-focused with a good amount of power and conditioning work as well. PB II would also be fine. It’s super easy to do that one 3x/wk after coming off PB I, just skip day 4. The volume will still be a bit higher and you get a bunch of variety there too. ---

Hi, Thanks for the reply. would you recommend strength 1also? or do you feel Gen s/c or PBII would be better suited? Thanks ---

I would not recommend Strength I for you, but GSC or PB II would be great! ---

May I ask why strength 1 wouldn’t be recommended if getting stronger is my main goal? ---

> [@Jm\_24](#): > > May I ask why strength 1 wouldn’t be recommended if getting stronger is my main goal? Because you’re doing “a lot of jits” per your own report. I don’t really think they’re compatible. The other programs are also good for strength improvement, but do not hyperfocus on maximal 1RM strength in as much isolation as Strength 1. ---

The other programs are also good for strength improvement, but do not hyperfocus on maximal 1RM strength in as much isolation as Strength 1. Thanks Jordan. I was thinking that an increase in 1 rep max strength means that you’re stronger and that would benefit a sport like jiu jitsu a lot.
