Like Chest on Mondays, Biceps on Fridays type split. There are many flaws to doing that. And you just discovered one of them - sometimes you need an added day of recovery... to make up for external commitments or keep off overtraining and to stay on a maximum growth curve.
You need to make you split into training days: Day 1, day 2, day 3, ... so that if you need an extra day you do not skip something but pic right back up at the next training day.
I am glad you said this, so many people do this and it is so wrong IMO.
