I'm planning to do the following split, with ~20 sets each day:

day 1: legs/abs
day 2: chest/shoulders/tri
day 3: back/biceps
cardio 15min warm-up all days

By what I have researched so far, as I'm not lifting extreme heavy weights, looks like it is better to do hit muscle groups more frequently than having a dedicated day to each one. Right?!
Frequency vs intensity/volume... it's a balance between the two. You can do more work per muscle and do more damage (which takes longer to recover from) or less damage and recover quicker, and fit in more muscle groups per workout.

In my experience I didn't notice a difference in recovery speed on cycle although keep in mind I train for strength and do the big 3 lifts low reps most of the time. Hope I don't discourage you from trying though we are all different and tbh I don't know the right answer.
