Is 3x full body in 1.30 hour sessions enough to get big on a bulk assuming good diet and exercise selection? Or do you really need minimum your 4 days PPL splits

3x full body is great.
You should be training any given muscle group hard 2-3 times a week.
Anything else is getting in the rabbit hole of whats optimal, which is very individual dependent .

I like to hit the same shit up to 3-4x a week so even chest if my bench is not where I want it to be just legs I would keep it to 1x/1-2wk so you can recover for upper body and learn to compartmentalize and specialize your training more than try to do everything 1:1.

Like I'll just stop in for 20-30 min since it's on my way back from work to finish off everything I was too tired to go 100% on then rest the next day if I'm going for heavy bench/ohp. Legs do like 3 sets of squat clean dl then upper to rest between then finish either hypertrophy or whatever else but I keep legs and heavy work away from my heavy bench or ohp day unless it's right after.

3-4x a week frequency for most stuff is too high. If you're too burnt out to finish your workouts and have to go do quick sets the next day that is a sign your program sucks

I like high frequency for lowering the weight but going for strict rep variations to target different shit. I got way bigger this way could be better though and I might have to try your style of training if it's really gonna put the lbs on the bar rather than what I seem to be doing which is mostly size gains.

I'm a very advanced lifter. So my routine would be kind of retarded for a beginner or even intermediate, but if you're curious about it this is what im currently doing while cutting because I am specializing in arms now since I used to be a powerlifter and have historically been very torso dominant
