Full body and split workout

[devidmike]

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 full body workouts ARE good for a pump and are also good for gaining condition.
With a split routine though, you can make gains in size and strength.
Have you ever noticed when you break your bounders in strength, for example complete a heavier weight in Bench Press or Squats or Dead lifts, you are very sore for days after and the recuperation time for recovery is greater.If the body is not given a long enough period to recover form these barrier breaking workouts you simply do not get stronger and bigger.
I think that with your full body workouts you are getting a nice pump and are feeling fuller on a daily basses but this will be at the expense of strength and size increases in the long term.
