What template to use for in-season strength training

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

I’m just coming off a strength phase with a strength-focused climbing/lifting coach. I really enjoyed it and I got really strong for it in preparation for my climbing season which starts mid-march. I’d say I’m an intermediate lifter at this point.

As cost is an issue, I would prefer to just use a template for my in-season strength training. I enjoy doing the 3 main lifts and just enjoy strength-focused workouts in general.

I was thinking of purchasing the Strength I template and to just adjust it to 2-times a week for my in-season training. Is this a good choice? Or should I use the Bridge? Thoughts on cutting the frequency in half for in-season strength training?

I think the general s/c or powerbuilding I templates in this case, as I think load management is going to be imperative. I would run a full-blown powerlifting-type program in this situation, which is why I wouldn’t recommend Strength I or similar. Hope that helps!
