I've been lifting for about 2 years now. I ran through starting strength and then I changed over to Greyskull. I made some decent strength gains but haven't increased size much. Plus, these programs bore me to death.
I came across Alexander Bromley on YouTube. I was originally going to run his Bullmastiff program followed by his 70s powerlifting program but then I seen the Kong program and wanted to give it a try. Would there be any problems with running Kong, then Bullmastiff, then the 70s powerlifter?
I guess my main concern is Kong seems more body building oriented and I'd hate to put in the time and effort for the hypertrophy and then watch it fade away if the latter programs weren't enough to maintain it.

Look into Louie Simmons West Side Barbell stuff (conjugate training). They combine max effort, repetitive effort and dynamic effort in one week which simply means combining low rep (strength) and higher rep (hypertrophy). This type training (IMHO) is far better than the old periodized training from the 70. It incorporates constantly changing volume and intensity and even exercise, to prevent homeostasis from occurring which forces the body to constantly adapt to new forms of mechanical stress.

Monday – Dynamic Effort/repetitive effort upper body

Tuesday – Max Effort/repetitive effort lower body

Wednesday – Max Effort/repetitive effort upper body

Thursday – Dynamic effort/repetitive effort lower body
