For the past while i've been doing a split workout
and recently i wanted to change things up so i started doing a full body workout for the past month which is doing me really good. To me the full body workout gives you a big pump and lets you work out each muscle group 3 times a week but on a split i fill like i'm concentrating on that one muscle group way more than a full body. What do you guys think of doing a full body workout one week and a split the next and just alternating them every week? I figured if you do this it will keep your muscles guessing and perhaps really, work do you guys think?

I think you're putting you're eggs in too many baskets. You'd be better off sticking to one program at a time.

I didn't know muscles could think, let alone guess......

My opinion of splits is that once you have trained full or upper/lower you'll never go back. As splits just feel lightweight in comparison.

But if you like the pump sensation there is no harm in doing say 6weeks of full body and then 2 weeks of splits before you go back to real training.

Yep. Only one at a time.
But hey, you are free to do as you want.
