You sound like an absolute beginner you should try different things in the gym and experiment figure out what you like.

Most people who look good just keep running different forms of PPL. If you look into the science, we know hitting a muscle twice a week is much more effective than once a week. We don't know if you confer any benefits to hitting them 3-4 times a week, but even if you did, it wouldn't be nearly the jump from once to twice a week. Why do you want to stop doing PPL exactly? Been doing it for years myself, the set up is great.

Edit: Looking at the comments, you say you're bored with it. Why? You know PPL isn't a specific program but just a set up of grouping muscles right? Just change up the exercises my dude.

As in a full day split? Just make sure the volume is not too high on each day. Eg not 10 sets chest on every days. Keep the sets 3-4 per muscle group per day, anything more is too high and wasting your time. I like to hit each muscle twice a week, so it’s Push, Pull, Off, Push, Pull, Off, Off. 6 sets per workout for each muscle group. Eg Push Bench Press 3 Sets, Dips 3 sets, that’s 6 sets for chest. I’m then hitting chest again 3 days later with Flyes 3 sets and Close Grip Bench 3 Sets. So total volume is 12 sets for the week. Jeff Nippard has a couple of new videos up full day splits, well worth a look. I just don’t have enough time to commit 5 days.
