I did some research and digging. I'd like to attempt to create my own full body split hitting everything 4x per week. Would this be OK?

45-60 minutes of MISS/LISS on OFF days.

(Alternate each workout)

M: Heavy/Medium/Light

T: Medium/Light/Heavy

W: Off

T: Light/Heavy/Medium

F: Heavy/Medium/Light

S: Off

S: Off

Deload every 6 weeks with 2 sets of each exercise with lowest amount of reps and lowest load during training block.

@brendan3248 I think working muscles four times a week would totally be fine for the muscles themselves however I would be very wary of tendonitis.

I switched from doing everything once a week to simply twice a week and didnt even think about how much my shoulders/wrists/elbows needed a rest. I ended up with dequervains and tennis elbow... You do not want tendonitis. It's one of those easy to ignore and never let fully heal issues that will end up bothering you for months.
 
@pastorinny Agreed man. What I find is everyone wants to lift heavier weights and never seem to increase rep range, sets, rest intervals, angles the list goes on. Tendons and ligaments are so forgotten and from what I've read they can take twice as long to strengthen than muscles do.
