I’m about to wrap up week 2 of Version 1 of 12 week strength template. Would it be recommended/worthwhile to jump to the v2.0 moving foward or just finish out the v1.0 template as is. ---

I’m glad you changed the design so it looks more like The Bridge did. It should be easy to quickly get an overview of what I’m doing for the day, thanks! I see you added tricep push downs for the arm work, but I don’t have access to cables. Can I do barbell LTE’s instead? ---

Is there any way to change the units from lbs to kg in the new updated strength templates? I knew that there was the option in the old ones. ---

On the v2.0 of the 3-day GPP Hypertrophy template I noticed a drop in volume on the working sets for the competition lifts in comparison to the v1.0 template (2 total sets at rpe 8 (v2.0) vs 4 sets at rpe 8 (v1.0)). I’m just curious as to why the volume dropped. Were you seeing clients really struggling with all the volume work and burning out? Or were you seeing an improved stress adaptation improving overall strength and hypertrophy? ---

Hey! Thanks for the new Templates. Just wanted to ask, for someone that has not done the previous 12 week Strength Template yet would it be wise to skip it and just run the new one or there isn’t so much difference? ---

Many thanks for sending free 3 days upgraded HYP template. Much appreciated. How to / Can we convert template to work in KG instead of LBS ? ---

This is really awesome and 100x better than the old template. Perfect timing too, as I just started the hypertrophy template this week. It took 3 or so minutes to log two days of workouts. On my phone. My dreams have come true! You guys killed it. Can’t wait to try the 4 day and 12 wk next year! Is there any plan to update Bridge 2.0 or HLM? I already own HLM but given how well I did on bridge 1.0 I’d buy the hell out of Bridge 2.0 with this format to run next ;). I’m sure you’re stoked to get this question after all the work you did to update the other templates. I’m just excited ---

On v2 of the 7 week Hypertrophy, is it intentional that day 3 Exercise 3 is the same as Day 2 Exercise 3, in weeks 5-7? On the old version we had a squat variation myoreps in this slot, now we have DB Incline / Incline Bench myoreps in there… ---

In 3 day-HYP v2.2 template, from week 5 onward, _Day 3 Supplemental **Squat** -Method 2_ asks to do “DB Incline-Bench Press or Close-Grip Bench Press with Barbell” Is this a mistake? If so, what would be the correct one? ---

Hi there. I purchased the 4-day Hypertrophy template and my question is in regard to spacing of workouts. Two workout will have to be back-to-back. Is there any recommendation as two which two that should be? The supplemental days (3&4) or a combo of competition and supplemental days (2&3, 4&1)? Lastly, are the upper back work and ab work on the GPP day 1x a week or 2x. It doesn’t specify in the excel doc like it does for arms and conditioning. thank you!
