    Bulking is more about diet. But I'd have to say stick with mostly compounds and go heavy 6-10 rep range. Need more info to help more.. What are your stats and how long have you been training?

    Sounds like you're doing all the right things man so maybe just change the split up to keep your body guessing. If you've stopped gaining I would have a good look at your diet and re adjust and make sure you're in caloric surplus.

    I strongly recommend that you hit every muscle 4-5 times every two weeks.

    If you want a set routine that will give you great progress check out DC training.
    If you want to make your own routine, set out a three day split and repeat it twice a week. Or make a two day routine such as push/pull upper/lower and repeat it 2.5 times per week. The push/pull/legs repeated twice a week definitely wouldn't be a bad option either.

    I am giving you these recommendations assuming that you are natty. I have never seen a natty, intermediate lifter make good progress from training a muscle only once a week.

    SportBiker - you got an example of this with the DC training method? I was under the impression it was used for short burst bulking (like 10 weeks at most).

    It is a low-volume, high-frequency routine styled into a two day split. I think the website is dc-training.com or something like that. I recommend you at least read the quick overview they have posted on the site.

    And it is a routine that is meant to be sustained long-term.

    I did read over it previously but clearly not enough as there are a few examples on there that seem pretty interesting. The site is dc-training.blogspot.

    a few years ago i didnt know that and forgot about the question of who that type of training best applies to until this post. so basically all that large volume training works best for aas users because recovery required?
