Help with training.

I feel like I have been working out ineeficiently. I have been in going pretty steady to the gym for about 4 years now. I am 27 years old.....SHweeew maybe I have been working out longer. Anyway, I have done plenty routines from 5x5 to pretty much many mainstream ones. Right now I have about 3 guys that are my partners. Their way of thinking is pretty much scattered all over the place. Maybe I should make this a little quicker. I feel like Im spinning my wheels. This is what I have been doing now for months.... I have read the stickey...also I seem to get down to low reps thinking with strength comes size...Yet then all the big guys I talk to who look like they should know whats up say sets with 10-12 reps is a must...I am sooo confused !!! THANK IN ADVANCE !!!!!!!!!

I JUST NEED SOME HELP ...........
I can answer more questions just feel free to ask...I seem to like the opposing groups with chest and back, thats if I do have to do them together. Last week I injured my shoulder so I have been thinking of putting those with chest so they are fully warmed up.

I think I'm confused? Are you asking if you should go low reps or high reps?

I guess Im so confused right now I need help making a new routine. Hitting the basics for a bodybuilding focused routine for maximum size. ALso I put it out here in the open because as you are aware you hear so much different stuff maybe we could agree on some things for positve influence on my new routine. I just want to try to get a good routine down for either 4 or 5 day per week schedule...If that is good....3 days of working out per 7 seems light to me...but my ears are open.

in the 5 years ive trained, i dont think ive never done a chest/bis followed by a back/tris workout. why not do chest/tris and back/bis instead? hit the same muscle groups or split arms with shoulders? i always change things up. you cant do the same thing even low reps forever. just go low reps for a month, then a couple with higher reps like 8-12, change the exercises, the number of sets, the order of exercises and you always have to focus on getting stronger anyway. for example, alternate dumbell presses with militart presses for shoulders go heavy, then lighter, and back to dumbells. for squats, i will go heavy as fuck 4-5 rep sets, sometimes even a double, i did 315 a few weeks ago for a double that was huge for me. but then i will fall down to 250 and squat reps out. then sometimes i will do a day with just 20 rep breathing squats for 2 sets with lighter weight where you can only do about 10-15 and grind out the last 5 by pausing and breathing for as long as you need. its a long set. i will follow that up with dumbell pullovers and some dips and abs. sometimes i will also do pause squats where you pause for a 3 second count at the hole and explode up for 6-8 reps. this helps you come out of the hole which helps you squat more which helps put on more size. and if you want, you can alternate with front squats as well. do you squat and deadlift? be sure to do so if you arent already. i keep deadlift reps low no more than 6.

thats the training part. what about your diet? to get huge like you want, you have to eat a shit ton of food, i mean to the point where you are just always full and force feeding yourself. lots of meat, complex carbs. i strength train and still put on size but you can do any workout but without the proper amount of food needed for growth, it wont happen.
