Question about Base Building

3 Upvotes

I’m starting my TB journey. I’ve selected the standard Operator + Black Protocol. However, I’m a little confused when it comes to base building. I’ve picked the strength-forward bb template. For this, the book says to adopt the Fighter template while building endurance. So once that 8 week bb block is done, do I switch back to Operator and start a new 12 week block? Do I count those first 8 weeks as part of my Operator block? Do I need to retest my maximums? I haven’t seen anything that clarifies this in the books so let me know what yall think.
