What is your favorite program? Full-body or body-part split?

I'm doing a push pull legs routine but would like to change the things a little with a single split sometimes

Definitely a full body based session, even if its two lower exercises and then the rest upper body movements (or vice versa). When work gets up I can usually only manage 3/4 sessions per week on top of the 3 rugby sessions I do. Helps to make sure I hit most muscle groups or movements at least 3 times per week.
I've also found the intensity of the sessions and the weights I can shift doesn't drop of, so every session I know I've worked my ass off. Also had the best results for my physique and sporting performance from this kind of training compared to others like bro split and push-pull sessions.

I really like the pull/push full body split done four days a week.
Pull - hams, back, rear delts, biceps, forearms, traps
Push - quads, chest, front and side delts, triceps, calves
Two movements for large muscle groups, one for smaller ones. I use different movements on the second pull and push days just to keep things from getting too boring.

I enjoyed Layne Norton's PHAT program for a few years. Currently doing PPL 6 days on, 1 day off. Love the volume and hitting each body part 2x a week.

Ran PHAT when I started and loved it. I have ran a few Meadows programs and his are by far my favorite especially the PPL ones, a shit ton of volume.
Been powerlifting last year or so. 531, and Sheiko. Back to running beyond 531 with jokers now.

Did mainly Upper/ Lower and PPL Splits over the last years.
Switched over to Max OT. In fact a 5 day split. Low volume, high intensity. Based on heavy compound movements.
Don't know how to say it.. but every training sessions feels more "productive".
Really enjoying it at the moment.

Some really good ones listed here.
The best results I’ve ever gotten were from a Phil Hernon ppl routine and DC.
When I could still bb squat, ohp, and dead lift 531 bbb was freaking awesome too.
I’m on week 2 of Creeping Death 2 and I’m liking it so far. I’m normally a low volume guy so this is a nice change.

I prefer full body.
Currently doing:
Monday
High bar squat
Slingshot bench
Block pull
Wednesday
Flat bench
Front squat
Overhead press
Friday
Deficit deadlift
Close grip bench
Leg press
Good morning
Depending on time finish each workout with rows or pull ups, glute ham raises, and however much cardio I can do before time to go to work.
Sets and reps change each week. It's actually a customizable spreadsheet. Was running a version with an AMRAP at the end of each movement, but I've run myself into the ground with it and regressed on my lifts. Switched this week to straight sets and starting off with a single at RPE 8. If I can be honest with the RPE and not run myself into the ground with these remains to be seen

Full body? Is that even a real thing?

I've done full body every 3rd day with two rest days in between. Took almost all day to get done, way to exerting to recommend. I've done the push, pull, leg split. I've done an adjusted split with higher emphasis on lacking body parts. Right now I'm doing a train by feel split, basically training every day and hitting what I determine Isn't In need of recovery. I like this current style of training best, it also allows me to incorporate lagging body parts more frequently.

I've been running a version of this myself. Except I've been doing 6 days a week. I don't really do any forearms training, I'm happy with my traps at the moment, and havent been doing calves either because I've been upping my running since I'm on a cut.
My goal is to hit each body part 3 times a week, with enough volume to stimulate growth, but not so much that I can't recover in 48hrs. I read somewhere that protein synthesis ceases after 36-48hrs, and anytime spent recovering after that is not necessarily building muscle. Given this, I'm trying the 48hr scenario.
So far so good. I'll be vamping set volume each week to see how much is ok for me.
I'd love to try a Meadows program.
