Not to get ahead of myself, but what kind of routine would you recommend for when I recommence my bulk? What do you think of some of the routines in KingBeef’s latest thread?

I would recommend something like the push/pull/legs one…except maybe without the extra frequency for legs. This is something I came across a while ago and rediscovered myself - that legs/big exercises seem to respond to a lessor frequency than upper body.
It really doesn’t matter too much HOW you split it up as long as the frequency of training your bodyparts is suitable for your body, and the volume is suitable too.
Example 3-way splits:
push/pull/legs
chest+biceps/back+triceps/legs+delts
chest+triceps/back+biceps/legs+delts
chest+delts/back+traps/legs+arms
chest+back/delts+arms/legs
etc etc etc
I’d recommend you train bodyparts around 2x/week or slightly less (less for legs). The one I had in mind was the last one (chest+back/delts+arms/legs).
After looking at your logs, I think you’ll respond to a more medium intensity and medium-low volume approach. So roughly 2 exercises/bodypart (except legs which’ll get more and back which’ll be hit indirectly as well as directly), 2-3 sets/exercise, and no long ramping (except warmups).
