A typical 4 day split that I think is ideal for most after a total body workout for beginners is something like this:

Day1:

Upper body - heavy horizontal pushing/pulling, light vertical pushing/pulling

Day2:

Lower body - Heavy quad dominant, light posterior chain

Day3:

Upper body - Heavy vertical pushing/pulling, light horizontal pushing/pulling

Day4:

Lower body - Heavy posterior chain, light quad dominant
Does anyone here speak Arnold that could translate this into English?
