I have been running the hypertrophy II template intermittently for around a year now with great results. Since moving to my home gym, I only have access to a barbell, pullup bar, and cable pulley system. Would I benefit at all by buying the Bodybuilding template if my main goal is hypertrophy? Or would I be better off just sticking with Hypertrophy II.

Would be hard to say which program you’d see better results from without knowing how your results have been going on at least one of the programs…

That said, I think the BB program is pretty fun and offers some unique stimulus for someone just trying to get yoked.

While similar to our [hypertrophy](https://www.barbellmedicine.com/shop/training-templates/hypertrophy-i-template/) templates, the Bodybuilding Template includes more isolation work, more training volume, and some advanced techniques designed to maximize muscular hypertrophy. That said, it is likely that some individuals will actually respond better, e.g. gain more muscle, to some of our other programs, given that there are large differences in how individuals respond to a given program. However, these templates and accompanying text serve as a guide for prioritizing muscular size.
