Hello, I’ve been training off an on for a few years. I have a quick question. I lost over 100 lbs a while ago, and I have a lot of redundant skin over my midsection. I was told I would need surgery to get it removed, however I was also told building muscle would help to get it down. So would a hypertrophy program be the best for my needs instead of a strength program? I’m not TOO concerned with getting big like bodybuilders (although I would like the big arms and six pack, who wouldn’t?).
Also, I recently purchased the Men’s Health Power Training book (I know it’s "Men’s Health", but it was written by Robert Dos Remedios), and I think I want to try either the Hypertrophy Push/Pull or the Strength Push/Pull. It looks like this …

Explosive (4×5)
Hip/Knee Dominant (4×6)
Horizontial Push/Pull (4×6)
Vertical Push/Pull (4×6)
Rotational (4×10)
Bridging 30-45 seconds

The reps changing depending on strength or hypertrophy goals and also change as the weeks go on. I would appreciate any advice. Thank you.
