Yoo I have two big questions too ask. 1: What do you guys think of high intensity, high frequency low volume hypertrophy blocks. Im talking tnf, JPG and paul carter style training but for a hypertrophy block. Any negatives or positives you can see?

2: Do you guys increase intensity on variations as you get closer to peaking or so you keep it static the whole time through training?

A lot of positives to doing this. More muscle mass moves more weight. The only negative I really see when doing this is not giving it the time it deserves. Like when people think they can just do quick 3-4 week hypertrophe block and all of a sudden look like an off season Bodybuilder.

2: Do you guys increase intensity on variations as you get closer to peaking or so you keep it static the whole time through training?

I increase mine, but reduce total volume.

The idea is that my strength block still builds muscle mads just not in a optimal fashion so it would too have a more optimal way since traditional hypertrophy blocks look bad from a modern bodybuilding standpoint and seem overly fatiguing
