Out of curiosity, what's considered "low volume/high intensity"?
high weights, not a lot of sets...low reps
Isn't that a strength workout? Hypertrophy is typically 8-12 reps/set with <90 second recovery, no?
No.
You're not going to get stronger without getting bigger. You're not going to get bigger without getting stronger. Muscle size and strength are directly correlated.
My size exploded when I dropped my rep range to 6-8 and stretched my recovery out to 3-4 minutes.

How do you explain skinny powerlifters/olympic lifters (lower weight classes) who can lift as much as significantly more built guys?

Post a picture of a top level powerlifter or olympic weightlifter who you consider to be "skinny." Aside from heavyweights, most all lifters within a discipline (PL or OL) regardless of weight class have relatively similar BMIs. The guys in the lower weight classes are shorter.Originally posted by: mrkun

Show us a skinny pl/ol...
And most NATURAL bodybuilders worth their salt recommend heavy sets, low reps (4-8), and significant recovery times.

According to Tom DeLong sets of 10 reps with 60 second recovery periods are standard for hypertrophy.
Edit: I'm not saying there's no correlation between mass and strength, just that that it's more than possible to be quite strong without having a lot of mass.

Now, you will always find genetic freaks. I have seen them as well. Small guys that are unnaturally strong are rare, but not THAT rare... and their strength/size has more to do with genetics that any one training routine.
But I will tell you this: I gained my size from low volume/high intensity training. Anyone I know that is natural and big has done the same.
A hint: You will find lots of "experts" in fitness. And they will tell you many conflicting things. 90% of what you hear is BS and snake oil.
Why? Because most of them have juiced. And for them, no matter what they did they got huge.
I know what has worked for me, and every other natural weight lifter I have met.

To the OP, your lats could be worked a bit. I like the traps though, although it might just be your pose, no offense intended.

Anybody wanna comment on my routine?
I do 3 days in the gym on a rotation like so:
Day 1: Chest and Shoulders
Day 2: Legs and Back
Day 3: Arms and Abs
I also play rugby so I get my cardio there on the in-between days, i.e. gym Mon Wed Fri and rugby Tues Thurs Sat.
In the gym I typically do a series of warm-up sets for each muscle group before I do 3 "heavy" sets each of 3 different lifts per group. On my "heavy" sets I usually do a weight that is heavy enough to make me fail within 4-6 reps. I've read conflicting suggestions regarding lifting to failure in my "heavy" sets, though. Is it a good idea?
Right now I'm about 6'2" and 210. I'm eating like a champ -- lots of whey, tuna, chicken, cottage cheese at night, brown rice, oatmeal, etc... I wanna get to 220 or 225 by the end of the year.

no offense taken. the traps are partially do to the pose I think. And yes, my lats have always been a weak point. I used to hate to work back so I didn't. That of course made it even weaker. Now I'm trying to get my back and lats to catch up and it's been a tough road. I just find it really hard to get a good pump in my back and lats. Unlike Chest and arms where I can get a huge pump going on. I'm trying though. Deadlifts, pulldowns/pullups are a large part of my weekly routine now.
On another note. You can get stronger without getting bigger but only to a point. Also, as mentioned, genetics have a lot to do with your size/strength ratio. Also, there is a difference between function strength and lifting weights strength. I know a guy who didn't really lift a lot of weight on his bench/dead, etc...but if you grappled with him, when he got a hold on you it was like a snake with vice grips and he could just manhandle people much larger than him and was incredibly "functionally" strong.

You're working two of your larger body parts in one day...why?
My three day split focuses on compound movements:
Monday: Legs (Squats, Straight-Legged Deads, Calf raises)
Wednesday: Chest/Triceps (Flat DB Bench, Incline DB Bench, Close-Grip Bench, Skull Crushers)
Friday: Back/Biceps (Deadlifts, Rows, Weighted Pullups, DB Curls)
You can probably see that I don't specifically target my shoulders or my abs in this routine. My abs get plenty of work by doing compound movements...my shoulders as well. I'll throw in a crunch set here and there when I feel like it but for the most part...I don't worry about them. My abs are plenty strong...and when I finally cut I'll have a beautiful 6-pack.

When people see big muscles they just assume you are compensating for something...

I used to do a split like yours, actually. Chest/Tri's, Back/Bi's, and Legs/Abs.
After a while, I guess I thought it would be a good idea to do a separate dedicated arm workout apart from my chest and back workouts. I felt like I wasn't getting a chance to focus on my bi's and tri's properly after they were pre-exhausted during my chest and back workouts.
Similarly I felt like my previous split neglected my deltoids and traps, so I decided to add a dedicated shoulder workout into the mix. I put legs and back together because the deadlifts are a bit of both, then I can do my squats and rows to differentiate the two groups.
