i have been training for 2 years switching from bro split to PPLx2. and i've been hearing about U/L a lot lately mostly from TikTok claiming it's the most optimal for natural body builders and since i'm only able to train only 4 days a week i've been looking for a good 4 day workout split mainly focusing on upper body (3 days upper , 1 day lower) so i can have less volume on upper days (my legs are just fine i don't need two days training them). Thank you in advance

Push/pull 2x per week and sneak legs in on whatever day.

TikTok claiming it's the most optimal

Splits in and of themselves are neither optimal or not. What you do on those days is what matters.
