Several years: three times per week, two alternating full-body sessions.
For a year: once per week, full-body, heavy, moderate volume (have become even slightly stronger but look somewhat weaker (lack of volume?)).
In the future: twice a week, full-body, one heavy session plus one volume session, let's try this just for the fun of it.

For a recreational lifter, I'm maxed out. Will not (and cannot) go much heavier than now. Just want to maintain what I have and stay free of pain and injuries.

I understand you. I'm lifting for 16 years, at this time feels more productive to mantain with less joint stress as trying to push past this level seems  to increase more pain and injuries than strength. 
I would still like to push my strength past the current level in some stuff (OH presses, Dips, Chins and maybe learning some harder calisthenics), but if I go harder in some of this stuff for a while then I'll go back to "cruising" at a more sustainable training style.

I bet it gives roid-like results.

I have built up to this volume over many years though.

How is the split?

My initially routine was 2 times a week.

When I got past initial, I upped the game to 3 times a week and working fine.

Good thing is, I could eat more often, I loved eating!

Mine has varied over the years dependent on goals

I don't really go week by week. Just typically go through the months like this

Upper Body Push
Upper Body Pull
Lower Body & Abs
Rest
Upper Body Calisthenics & Core
Rest
Rest

When the training gets stagnant, theres a lifestyle change (work ect) or I want to change goals I'll change frequency. This is usually after about 3 months.

2x week (one day is "heavy" other is "lighter" pretty much same exercises only different rep numbers) plus one day for core exercises
That is all
