Anyway... My advice. 5x5's, heavy compound movements 3x per week. Get back to basics man. It sounds like in your passion for mass you may be overtraining. Less is more for guys that aren't genetically predisposed to carry a lot of weight on them. You were talking about performing 100 reps to stimulate muscle fibers while preserving calorie expenditure.
By performing 100 reps you are only stimulating Type 1/slow twitch fibers and working aerobically. The pump feels great but you really wont stimulate anything tangible in regards to growth. Type II's are where it's at for mass, but working both efficiently reaps rewards as well.
Go heavy with good form and go home! Eating for mass can be tough, but your body will crave it.
I honestly think you look good where you are at anyway. Play to your genetic strengths IMO.
