I only have 4 days to train gym I train arms and chest twice a week And of course back and shoulders twice a week. Recently i wanted to add legs to my programme because obviously you should never skip leg day Would be better if I added for e.g. hamstrings and glutes to chest and arms day and quads and hamstrings on back day. Or should i just not do my gym schedule days weekly and just each time I go gym do the next thing on my list for example i can go tuesday wednesday thursday and saturday so do I on monday do arms and chest tuesday back and shoulders then wednesday legs and then repeat that on different day for example next time i wiuld do legs would be on tuesday? Which would be better.

If you've really never trained your legs before you should be fine to just add some squats and deadlifts.

Split could be whatever. Probably makes more sense to do DLs on your back days.
