To bulk use compounds: 6 sets of 10. Pull ups, dips, bench, military, squats and deads. Do it six months. If you are not ready to puke on the last reps of the sixth set, you are slacking.

Work is weight x distance. So if you do 6 x 10 x 225 as compared to 5 x 5 x 305, you have done almost twice the work and the gains will be proportional.
