4 day split for maintenance

So due to family and work issues, I will have to cut back to only 4 days in the gym per week. Luckily I'm cutting right now, so I know that the amount of volume required to maintain muscle is less than the volume required to build it. I've been running a PPL for the last while, but I don't think a 4 day PPL would give me enough frequency. What splits do y'all recommend and how would you structure them?

Keep in mind, I am cutting on TRT (140 mg weekly).
 
Old school Lee Haney style:
Chest and Biceps
Legs and Triceps
Back and Shoulders
Legs
Chest and Biceps
Cont....

Or.....

Chest and Arms
Legs
Back and Shoulders
Legs
Chest and Arms
Cont....

2 or 3 exercises per bodypart,
Day off when needed.
Stimulate, don't annihilate.
Legs Every Other Day, Rotating exercises or having a Quad day and Posterior day for legs.

That's what I do before and through summer.
Abs and Calves whenever
 
I usually maintain on a pull/push split with legs included

Pull - Back, hams, biceps, traps, rear and side delts

Push - Chest, quads, triceps, calves, front delts

Two exercises for large muscle groups, one for the smaller ones. Abs I just do at home whenever I get around to it.
