Phat is a lot of volume and Phul is pretty much all compounds
Thinking of doing phul now that I’m over calisthenics

Ya I've heard of those programs. They're pretty old school. I never used them, or any other program. I just focused on progressively overloading, learning and incorporating different approaches to do so along the way.
Programs that are very high volume are not suitable for naturals that are strong. With the amount of weight they can use, they simply won't recover from high volume work. People underestimate how draining just 3 hard sets on a heavy exercise is, just because the number '3' seems small. If you go to within less than one rep of failure every working set, 3 to 5 heavy sets is all you can really do if natural and strong.

All routines/splits work. Do the one you most enjoy to get the most out of your training...
Intensity and sticking with it is what works..
