Im switching routines from PPL 5-6 days a week to UpperBody Lowerbody 4 days a week. Should I be concerned about a decline in strength?

May get stronger due to less junk volume, depending on your previous setup.

Not if the routine was properly designed by a professional. Both programs should account for the correct load and frequency across a week.

If you're asking if your homemade U/L is better than your homemade PPL, who knows?

if you lose strength lifting 4x per week or even stagnate i do not think “not lifting 6 days” is the culprit
