I normally train three different ways, and I've just added a fourth recently that I am trying to master. Training is either 5 or 6 days a week, depending on which method I chose.
My traditional cut/reshape for weight classes (for boxing) was done using HIT or HIIT, and depending on the goal could either be 5 or 6 days a week. Weights on M/W/F, endurance on T/Thr/S. If I was doing really advanced HIIT, 5 days a week training was all my coach would allow, too much stress on the tendons and knees to do 6 days.
The other two ways I regularly use are either a 3 day split or a 2 day split of volume training. Most commonly since I am older now, I tend to stick with the 3 day split. I save the 2 day splits for my crazy cycles, because my recovery time is that of a baby and I can handle it.
I just recently picked up a 7 day split and I am trying that out for the next 4 months to see if modern training is as good as Arnold's/Weider's training methods.

6 day/week: Legs, Push, Pull, Legs, Push, Pull, off
4 on cycle ,2-3 off cycle.Not much more needed for me and thats through trial and error with what works for me.Off cycle i like to do heavy fullbody training with the basics.On cycle its high volume and bodypart splits.
6 on 1 off... Like some of the others, I like to hit each muscle group 2x a week. I hit abs eod, and add legs to my routine on Day 3, but I also do 2 sets x5 of squats on day 1 and 6 as well...
I would love to train 6 days a week like you guys but it has never worked for me.

I would love to train 3x a week, but I get no gains at that rate! I'm one of the ones, who really has to punish his body for hours for it to grow. Good thing I love being in the gym!
Recently switched to something new in regards to training but has been 3x a week in the past and will be 3x a week for the most part now. I'm toying with the idea of a 4th day for prowler work, sled pulls, tire flips, etc and possibly some weights to hit problematic areas or weak points in my lifts.

Same here, but I prefer Legs/Push/Pull instead of Push/Pull/Legs. On this setup, I put my heavy squats/deadlifts on the first legs day so I'm the freshest I can be after the rest day. I've also done legs/pull/push/legs/pull/push which also works out nicely. The biggest issue with this kind of split is overuse issues with the shoulder joint. For this reason I rarely ever to direct shoulder pressing work. Maybe throw in some side laterals & face pulls, but that's about it

When I am serious about it, I train
every day.. every muscle.. well every exercise every day,
but I train light.. Slow and steady and then fast or as fast as possible
with control..
I make sure that muscle is gorged with blood when I am done.
I sometimes will do this 2X a day maybe 3-4 of those 7 days,
then I take a whole 1-2 days off.. sometimes 3 full days, depending
how burnt I feel my muscles are..
Pullups, Bicep Curls, Pushups, Standing Calf Raises..
Some days crunches, but the pushups I do.. how I do them,
burns the hell out of my abs..
I am throwing in Hyperextentions off the bed for my lower back.
This is how I get my best MMA / Athletic pussy soaking look..
When I trained heavy, I worked each muscle once a week,
with the Barbell Bench, Box Squat, and Rack Pulls..
This is how I got my strength and body weight up..

Monday, wednesday, friday is big lifts and heavy weight. Tuesday, Thursday, sat is auxiliary work and smaller muscle groups in general, with moderate weight. I take Sunday off from lifting and do a brief jog.

I try to get to the gym on a 6on/1off schedule but usually ends up 4on/1off and I'm fine with that.
