The fact that you took the time to write all that is impressive.
It legitimately took no more than 10 minutes lol. Not hard to outline a quick post when the knowledge is already engrained in your mind

30 sets for 6 days of the week = 180 sets.
I could see people getting 200
And exactly how much does all that extra volume help in terms of micro tears and eventually leading to more hypertrophy. Say you do half the sets, how much less muscle growth are you really going to get? Is it that substantial?

pretty sure he meant 15 a day but 30 a week cuz ppl x 2
This. But that's just for each body part. You're hitting multiple things each day. I think lightman saying 200 sets/week is on the upper threshold of volume
Let's just stick to the 30 as I said (though I'd go above it over a prolonged volume progression): 30 for chest, 30 for back, 30 for legs, 10 for traps, 20 for bis, 20 for tris, 10 for calves, 10 for abs, 10-20 for shoulders. That's 170-180.

^^ and how do you go about exercises like incline db press, you could say it hits chest, shoulders, and triceps. Would that be 1 sets for each or just the main muscle it targets (pectoral)?
Well on a push day (chest/shoulders/tris) I'd allott the incline db bench toward chest ofc. However, if you're having an incline heavy day, reduce volume on your direct shoulder presses following.
For instance, a new ppl I'm about to begin soon has a ton of incline movements on one of the push days.. maybe 1 flat movement. Thus, I'm ditching the direct shoulder presses that particular day and hit some lateral raises.
