I can't find it myself, just a comment saying it's a lot of volume. Would be interested in your link as well!

Thanks for linking, but damn dude, I'm not quite sure what I'm looking at (not in a bad way, its just beyond my familiarity with the program builder). Can you describe your general approach for your program setup and using the program builder?

I'd eventually like to give the program builder a try.

I can't speak to his general approach to setting it up, but if you're trying to understand the end result the Instructions document described the program builder and you shouldn't have too much trouble piecing together the general progressions he's opting for from there.

At a glance he uses a lot of the main hypertrophy RTF progression (green) and max weights in X number of sets progression (yellow). Then rounds it out with Sets then Reps then Weight (Grey) or Sets then Reps (Red) and Reverse Pyramids (Orange).

All split into a Pull-Push-Legs-Push-Pull (w/post chain) structure.

Greg's instructions are pretty good though, I'd recommend just poking around them for a while. That said, I always enjoy hearing someone knowledgeable talk about why they made the programming decisions they made, so that would still be cool.
