Your volume always seems really high!
I'm still using the PT I met at Roar to set a program, he focusses on mirror performance I think, so he tries to get most exercises into the ~12 rep range for maximum hypertrophy.
Yesterday was with very light weights, I'll incrementally push those higher, both within the sets and session to session, although I'm also trying to cut a little bit at the moment so we'll see how that goes.
I've been a Medium for, basically, my whole life in terms of jacket size - even when I was 85kg pre-Roar, I'm now Large at 82kg, so it's going in the right direction.

This may not be an indication its right. If you've never pushed yourself in the gym, but now you are, doesn't matter what you do, you'll have newbie gains (no offence if you're not a newbie).
Personally I'd keep an eye on your joints for wear and tear. Extreme high reps will damage things just like v.heavy weights.
But if you're looking to size up, heavier weights will be both quicker and safer in my opinion. Not extreme higher reps.
