Question About Hypertrophy Template

Hi,
I recently purchased the Hypertrophy Template and I have a few questions about it. I had tremendous success with the Bridge and I am very excited to start a hypertrophy phase before attempting the 12-Week Strength Template.

  1. Given the following questions, I am wondering if I am reading the template wrong, reading it correctly, or if I somehow received a differently formatted version. The formatting looks a little strange on my end and I have attempted to re-download and open it on multiple computers, but it’s the same1. For example, I noticed that in certain parts of the template (e.g. the log and description) there are mentions of supplemental squats. However, I do not see any supplemental squats programmed into the day-to-day exercise selection. On my template, there is nothing in the squat column other than Comp Squats. However, I noticed that the leg press, Front Squat, and SSB squat shows up under the Sup Deadlifts (S-D2). Why are these supplemental for deadlifts and not squats? Furthermore, Pendlay Rows show up under Sup Bench 2 (S-B2). I would suspect that these would appear under deadlifts?1. If the above are correct, that makes the S-D2 lifts even number lifts, meaning they fall under the myoreps category. Is it correct that I will potentially be doing 14-15 reps of Belt Squats w/pause?1. Lastly, it seems that the frequency of squats, or any direct legwork, has been reduced to 2-days a week relative to coming off of the Bridge. Can I still expect lower body hypertrophy given the frequency reduction? Though, if question 2 is correct then I guess weekly volume if significantly higher.

Thank you very much for any feedback you can provide.

1 Some of the things in the general description are common to all the templates, and not necessarily specific to the particular one you’re looking at. We’ll probably work on making these things more specific in the future. The supplemental lifts are listed under their respective categories just because we wanted them in those slots, so don’t worry about the specific nomenclature/labeling.

2 Correct

3 Volume, not frequency, is the driver of hypertrophy.

Awesome. Big help. Thanks for the reply.
