12 - 16 sets per bodypart
Tempo/rep speed. Moderate. 2 secs up 2 down
Rep range 10 - 12
2 min rest between sets

Also i change up, sometimes i do a heavy set. 5 - 8 reps. Explosive contraction, slow negative. 4 sets usually on compound exercises. Rest 3 mins plus. Between sets.

These are my stats as of now but I'm a skinny bastard so I have to change it occasionally to grow.

Reps: 10-12.
Sets: 2 or 3 exercises per bodypart with 3-5 sets each.
Rep speed: 2 seconds up, 2 down.
Rest lengths: 1 minute between sets, 3 minutes between different exercises.

10 or more sets of 3 reps with like 4-5 min rest between sets did wonders for my bench. Helped me add size and a ton of strength.

I use a 3-split programme, so I do it like this:

Exercises: 3 exercises for the large muscleparts, and 2 for the small ones.
Sets: 3-4.
Rep range: 6-12 (Training zone 70-85%).
Rep speed: About 2 sec. up - 2 sec. down.
Rest length: About 1 min. between sets and 2-3 min. between exercise. I like my training to be intense, so no longer than that.

I use some of the training methods according to Christian T. from T-nation, and from the book "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde".

Rep range is 6-10, depending on exercise, with two rest pause sets following.

One set per exercise. 3-4 exercises per body part.

Rep speed is controlled. Minimal rest. 15 sec. between rest pause and maybe 2 min. between exercises.

3-4 sets per exersice + 3 warm up sets for the first exersice
Tempo/rep speed 1.5 seconds up 2 seconds down

2 min rest between sets
for the last set of every exersice I do 2-3 forced reps or a drop set

3-4 sets. Rep ranges 2-10, most work is done in the 3-6 range. Rest intervals vary between 1-5 mins.

Speeds variable too, accelerated as much as possible on powerlifts, controlled on one joint moves.

When it comes to powerlifts, i think in terms of moves, not muscle groups.

1 working set. Rest paused.
1 exercise per body part.
11-15 reps depending on which body part.

1 working set. Rest paused.
2-3 exercises per body part.
6-8 reps with forced reps afterwards
Rep speed = enough to not break form.
Rest = as long as I need.

Current plan:
Larger Muscles - 10-12 sets (superset style) 12 reps first,5-7 second
Smaller - 6-8 sets (triple-sets) 12 reps first, 5-7 second, 5-7 third
Tempo - Changes, but always strict
Rest - 1-2 mins in between sets, then as long as it takes to get between exercises
