    Looks alright, it's just a legs/push/pull split, personally I'd do it as a 3 on 1 off split not a 3 day a week split, how long have you been training?

    On and off 8 years. Serious and consistent about a year. Wouldn't doing 3 on 2 off with this routine would be overtraining ?

    Possibly, some people work better with higher volume some with lower and more frequency. You need to find what works for you. But after training for so long studies have shown that training more often with more total volume in the week is best for people who have been training for a long time.

    The program looks ok don't get me wrong if it's working don't change it but if not I'd say lower each individual days volume, do it twice a week and make sure total weekly volume is a little higher.
