BBM,

Could you please explain why the volume for some body parts, like chest and back, receive seemingly much less volume in the bodybuilding template compared to the hypertrophy 2 template?

This has already been asked on this forum 🙂 In any case, the actual math for volume puts them very close (with the edge to the BB template), but also you have to look at the organization of the templates with respect to intraworkout fatigue, # of sets per body part, etc. I think the volume rx in the template is a reasonable place to start.
