I have a power lifting meet coming up on 4/23. I am on week 4 of the Bridge 3.0 and plan on doing the 12 Week Strength directly after. However I do not have enough time to do both week 8 of the Bridge and week 1 of the 12 Week Strength leading up to the last week of the strength template falling on the meet week. Would you recommend skipping week 8 of the Bridge and starting with week 1 of the 12 Week Strength or finish the Bridge and skip week 1 of the 12 Week Strength. Thanks for any input you can give.

I would just skip week 8 of The Bridge and start week 1 of the strength program.
