PPL - Calculating Total Volume

When building a PPL routine and aiming for 8-20 sets per muscle group, do you recommend counting sub-muscles/muscle parts in order to effectively cover all equally. i.e. when building a push day, do you count exercises towards just the chest shoulders and triceps, or do you count them towards the upper chest, lower chest, front delt, side delt, rear delt, plus each tricep head? Long story short, how detailed do I need to go in order to effectively build the routine?

Help with the workout Google sheet

Is there a warm-up for the upper body? I see 2 for lower. Also, I would love to watch the video about how much weight I should lift, but the link doesn't work.

Is there a more affordable protein powder option?

I know you guys love Legion, and I do plan to try it out. However, have you seen the cost? Yikes. I currently use Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey, 5lbs for $75. I'm sure Legion's worth the cost, but Legion is outside my budget right now in terms of quantity for the cost. Can you suggest a good protein that is more affordable?

Protein consumption

How much protein should someone really be consuming? You hear anything from .5 grams per pound of body weight to 1.5 grams. If you are consuming on the high end of that scale can it become bad for you long term, is there any negative heath consequence that could come up?
