Training split advice
When looking for pure size what type of split would you suggest? I know it will vary person to person, with the weights used, sets, reps, etc., but I'm still looking for advice. How often do you train each bodypart when bulking up? As well what rep range do you focus on for your compound movements and how many sets do you blast out (again I know it varies)? Thanks for the advice.
BTW I have great genetics and already have a very solid build. I say so just because I know this affects the selection.May the Lord Jesus Christ bless those who bless me as I gladly accept their blessings, and curse those who curse me all the while protecting me for any evils. In Christ name, amen...

You seem like you're looking for exercises/splits/rep-ranges that will somehow magically make you huge. These isn't any. Find out what type of volume works for you, go balls to the wall and accompany that with a sound diet likened to your current goals.

You said it yourself, every person is different. Experiment some more with different splits and volume until you find out what your body responds to best. If you think you're gentics are above-average, then adjust accordingly.
Personally, I work everything once a week. Keep it simple. Amount of sets is related to the size of the muscle. IE - Back 10-12, Bicepts 5-7. I like to primarily stay in the 4-8 range. I've used this split before and variations...

No prob bro. I like to learn as much(or more) than the next guy and questions are as good of a way, as any to do this. Just saying, if you want to get huge it's all about the diet and knowing your own body. I know you like to start threads but you'll get more information by checking out the journal section.

For me, when I'm trying to bulk up and gain size and strength, I simply up my calories and hit the weights hard. I never do more than ten reps on any exercise. I usually stick to eight reps and work my way to a one-rep max on the major lifts such as deadlift, bench, and squat. I've also found that it definitely helps taking at least two days off each week to let your body recover. If I feel too sore to work out, I just skip a day and hit the gym when I'm ready again.
Bench: 330
Squat: Not enough!
Deadlift: 475
