I've been doing a 3-split a very long time ago and I atm I've been doing 5-split for some months.
My plan is:
Push
Pull
Legs
Off
Repeat
so 3 days on and 1 day off and 3 days on etc.
I mean, you can gain on any programme as long as you are eating correctly, which I am. What are your thoughts?
Looks good to me, I've done something very similar in the past. Can even throw in some abs/core work with legs... Depending on which lifts you choose, you might want to put in one more rest day, either between the push and pull, or between pull and legs.
Many people set up thier routine this way. However, be mindful of your work load. Indirectly and directly, your back is going to get hit three days in a row pressing and pulling and squatting. Id probably do 2 on , 1 off, 2 on, 1 off, etc.

Yeah, I'll put in some ab in on leg day.
Other thoughts?

Just keep a close eye on your recovery, if you are going into every workout tired, sore and run down the I would reconsider. If you arent making weekly progression on your lifts then you need to change it up. If you want mass you have to get progressively stronger. I know some people workout out M-T-TH-F looking like this
M-PUSH T-Pull TH-Legs F-Push M-Pull T- legs etc
It all depends on your recovery ability
