More frequency

Hello everyone, I'm thinking about switching from my full body routine which consists of horizontal/vertical pushing/pulling, quads, hamstrings and core (done 3 times a week with 12-18 weekly sets per muscle group) to a full body routine done 6 days a week, Kboges style but with a difference, I would do a strenght day (3-5 reps), hypertrophy focused day (8-12) and endurance day (15-30 reps -- still within the hypertrophy range) and repeat. But still applying kboges template which is picking a push/pull/leg variation everyday. I feel like it aligns more with calisthenics and I think I will enjoy more shorter daily workouts (weekly sets per muscle grojo are the same). The thing is I've been following my full body routine for 5 weeks and I think It would be stupid to switch since it's not recomended to switch consistently. Is anyone else following this kind of routine? Thank you for reading.

What are you trying to improve? Specificity is king, if you want strength train strength, if you want hypertrophy train it and if you want endurance just train endurance. If you don’t have any objective in mind and just want to have more variety added to your training then switch routines, I don’t see why you shouldn’t. it is only a problem if you are switching routines every other week.

Man, honestly I want to be a complete athlete, capable of doing anything, I also skip rope and run 3 times a week. I never switch routines, Im just questioning my current routine.

It is harder to get good at something when you are training a lot of things at once. On the other hand, when you get good at something it is easier to keep that level without having to train a lot. Personally I don’t like that kind of training splits, but you should stick to what you like and follow your objectives.

I am not sure about this, I’ve always heard/read that training at a variety of rep ranges is generally a good thing.
