Template Question

Hey BBM crew,
I’m currently on the last week of The Bridge and was looking for guidance on where to go next. I’m 6’1" and weigh in around 225 lbs, waist circumference of 39". Started losing weight around 235 and 42" waist. I’ve been following the macros from To Be A Beast and adjusting every 5 lbs lost.
Lifts for singles @ 8:
Squat: 385
Deadlift: 415
Press: 160
Paused Bench: 215

I plan to continue losing weight until I reach a 36" waist(maybe more or less once I get closer) and then hopping on the 12 week strength template. Upon finishing The Bridge, would the recommendation be to follow the GPP template or would one of the hypertrophy/GPP templates be more appropriate while continuing to reduce macros? Appreciate the advice.

Thanks,
Chris

If you plan to go to the 12 WS afterwards, I would think the 4xWeek Hyp is the most indicated to get you used to the frequency. If your plan is to do HLM or something like this, maybe 3xWeek Hyp will do, allowing you to increase volume (via frequency) after running these 2 templates.
