I just finished the bridge 2.0 and was thinking of doing the seven week GPP hypertrophy template then the HLM. In the template over view post it said that HLM would be recommended after the bridge . Would there be any drawbacks of plugging in the Hypertrophy template between the bridge and HLM?

You could certainly do it in your planned order and you’d be fine.

Im planning doing them in order of ascending volume amount: so  
Bridge1 → Bridge2 → Hypertrophy → HLM → 4wkst
