Hello!
I was looking to purchase one of your programs as I am looking to pivot into a fat loss phase.
I am a powerlifter (s:610, b:405, d:665) and weight around 260. Looking to cut down to about 220 and start taking my health and conditioning more seriously.
I am having a hard time deciding what program to run. Ideally I’d like to strength train 3-4 times a week and do more conditioning (currently doing none). Not worried too much about SBD numbers currently as I don’t plan on competing any time in the near future.
any thoughts?
Thedderson,
Thanks for the post. Nice numbers, dude! I’d run Hypertrophy I (3-day) or Hypertrophy II (4-day) based on your preferences for frequency. You can pick the exercises you’re scheduled to do in oth templates. I think it’s a powerbuilding type program, but with less emphasis on the Big 3 than our actual powerbuilding templates. All have plenty of conditioning to get you started!

Given your goals, I’d recommend looking for a program that balances strength training with conditioning. Programs that focus on compound lifts like squats, deadlifts, and bench presses while incorporating HIIT or cardio sessions a couple of times a week could be ideal. This approach can help maintain muscle mass while promoting fat loss and improving cardiovascular fitness.
For a shift to fat loss while maintaining strength, a mix of strength training and conditioning sounds great. I’d recommend a program that focuses on compound lifts and includes conditioning work like HIIT or circuit training. This combo will help you keep muscle mass while shedding fat.
