re: Weight training - any pointers on how to cycle between hypertrophy and strength?

If your goal is fat loss, stick to heavier to strength specific training until you reach your goal. Hypertrophy training is biologically expensive and is more fatiguing on the body. It would be better to drop the fat you want first, than adjust your nutrition to add mass, and adjust your programming to be hypertrophy oriented. I think trying to do a recomp would leave you spinning your wheels. You’re not a beginner, so I think you would be wasting your time doing that.

I tend to agree but id just say that if fat loss is your goal, let that be where most of your effort goes. Spend at minimum 30 minutes walking an incline. Bump up to 45-60 if you want to be more intense about it.

Its hard for me to answer your question because I really dont know where you are or what lifts you want to get strong in so ill just leave some general ideas.

To keep things fresh, I like a few different methods for strength gains: Reverse Pyramid sets, Autoregulatory charts, and repeated single/double rep intervals at high intensity
