I am coming towards the end of my NLP and am looking for advice on which program I should follow next. I was initially following GSLP, but after obtaining The Bridge 1.0 I switched over to SSLP because I thought it was better to increase my squat volume before starting a post novice program. I am 5’9", weigh 225lbs, and my waist is about 42 inches. I have been doing the NLP in a calorie deficit and adding in about three conditioning sessions per week, my goal is to get down to 190lbs while hopefully continuing to get stronger. I was planning to switch to The Bridge once my NLP stalled - which should happen very soon, I have already had to add your bench and press plug in to my routine - but on p.28 of the pdf for The Bridge 1.0 you say that the program is not ideal for those seeking to lose a large amount of body fat quickly. In terms of long term strength development, I am unsure whether it would be better for me to run The Bridge in a mild calorie deficit following SSLP and then use the Endurance template and a more aggressive calorie deficit to cut afterwards, or to cut as much weight as I can with the Endurance template first and then run The Bridge in a mild calorie deficit. I would really appreciate some advice on the order which I should run these templates in order to best meet my goals. Thanks in advance!
I would do the Bridge right now. It’s not the best if you’re trying to hemorrhage body fat, but then again I don’t think any of our programs are well-suited to that. I would run the Bridge in a calorie deficit so you’re losing ~2-4% BW per month.
Thanks for the reply, Jordan. 
The Bridge it is, then. After I complete 8 weeks of the bridge, would it be a good idea to run the endurance template and restrict calories enough to lose weight a little more aggressively? Or should I keep the focus on strength training and losing the weight more slowly? I really want to get to my goal weight ASAP, as I feel that if I were to do it quickly and then start training in a slight caloric surplus I would be better off strength-wise in the medium to long-term. Is my thinking here misguided?
Curious as to what approaches help the “hemorrhage body fat?”
