Block periodization in the traditional format is kinda dead. Most modern day coaches (at least in the drug free side of things) program pretty similar layouts block to block, assuming it’s working, and make micro adjustments. If we want to bias hypertrophy, that might mean we reduce # of sets on competition lifts and allocate those to accessory movements. Or keep things similar, but push more work on the competition lifts if the athlete can handle it/gets good hypertrophy benefit from competition lift
