What routine have you used with the most success

I noticed the most when i increased my volume more and had shorter breaks.

I have very short breaks now and a lot of exercises for 3 to 4 a set (rarely 3 and sometimes with drop sets i can hit 7 sets).
 
Double PPL, or FST7 are my go to programs. Both work very well.

I'm also getting really sold on rest pause sets. Have been doing a FST7 five day split, 3-5 sets per lift, and rest pause on the last set of each. Works nicely for hypertrophy.

I like the rest pause training as well, you can condense things pretty nicely using it.

I'm a fan of John Meadows workouts, the stretching, pumping, heavyweight, all incorporated into each workout/body part.

PRRS training also works quite well, its Eric Brosers training style.
 
Currently phasing in my new programming for the new year, dual factor bodybuilding routine using scheduled deloads and DUP. 6 day a week, simple exercise selection, but everything gets hit 3x a week (there are only 6 movements in play).

Post it if you have time, I'm curious.

It's more or less a work in progress but I think I have it down pretty good.

Nice, I like it. Reminds me of Stuart McRoberts abbreviated training routines from Brawn and Beyond Brawn books.

One thing I wasn't anticipating was how long this routine will keep me in the gym for, especially on 90% days. God damn I wasn't expecting that, it's a good thing I'm slowly phasing it in. I'm starting next week officially along with my next blast, I'm also taking this week off from doing any pressing movements, since I'm trying to nurse what I suspect is an AC joint problem (I think). NSAID's and Ice for now and I should be good by Monday.
 
Currently running a modified 5x5 program with an additional day for bench and deadlifts alternating every other week with one another. Probably the best progression I've had to date in the time frame but it is also subjective as I was coming off a injury so muscle memory could have been playing into it.
 
Was it bostin who said a successful routine is 30% Food, 60% drugs and 10% (!) working out lol. Wonder how many years more he'll live...

Personally, I am putting in 5 by 5 these days With an ok progress. Nothing beats Bulgarian though, absolutely kicks ass if you can afford the time
