Based on Dave Tate's "Extended Tension" strategy (https://www.t-nation.com/training/my-greatest-gains-ever-dave-tate).
The goal of this workout is to focus on the "Time under Tension" for each of the sets, with the goal to be between 30 and 45 seconds per set. This variation of Tate's program consists of four workouts per week, with a fairly typical body split. Each muscle group is hit twice per week with two exercises (three sets) per muscle group per workout.
The Split
Day 1 Chest, Shoulders, Triceps
Day 2 Legs, Back, Biceps
Day 3 Cardio
Day 4 Chest, Shoulders, Triceps
Day 5 Legs, Back, Biceps
Day 6 Off
Day 7 Off
Three different Cardio days are rotated.
Cardio #1 - with Abs & Forearms
Cardio #2 - with Abs & Calves
Cardio #3 - with Abs, Traps & Rear Delts
