I like to mid to heavy weights, but I like to move fast throught he workout. Probably don't get as heavy as I could if I rested longer between sets but I tend to feel it much more working this way. Typically hit two bodyparts a day with 3 to 4 exercises per body part. I usually hit 4 sets on the core lifts, and 3 on the supplemental lifts. I will add in an extra set to the core lift if feeling good.
I do Chest and Tris, Shoulders and Legs, Back and Biceps, rest day, repeat. Will change this up after a month or so. Works for me...
Abs every other day, light cardio 30 minutes to an hour. I am just starting to add the cardio, so I will let you know how that goes.

I sometime fine myself tired of my current routine so ill pull out my phone in between workouts and you tube different workouts and try them, and watchin some Jay Cutler workouts get me pumped up too so it works out best all the way around.

I wont go to heavy on quads and front squats because I found that quads respond better around 12-15reps and isolated hamstring excercise respond good at low heavy ass weight, hamstring consist more typeII(B) fibers.

I will say I tend to pick the mjaority of my excersises based on what I enjoy more so now, I used to be very rigid and do the ones that had maximal fiber recruitment but I like to keep it enjoyable. I use the 3/4 deadlift and front squat because I enjoy them. My legs dont require tons and tons of sets to grow
