Working out every other day

[Gibblets]

Is it a good idea to work out every other day? I am currently on a M-W-F split, and wanted to try something new after taking some time off. I was thinking of maybe something like this:

L= quads/calves/abs
C= chest/shoulders/triceps
B= back/bi's

Day 1: L
Day 2: rest
Day 3: C
Day 4: rest
Day 5: B
Day 6: rest
Day 7: L
Day 8: rest
Day 9: C
Day 10: rest
Day 11: B
Day 12: rest
Day 13: L
Day 14: rest

this way, on some weeks, certain bodyparts would get hit twice in a 7 day period...for example, once on sunday, and again on saturday.

would this be a sound plan worth trying?

I like a low volume higher frequency routine myself. I dont see anything wrong with training every other day as long as you are recovering, getting stronger and growing.

I wouldnt go nuts with the volume though. Otherwise I think it would be fine.

my volume is always really low...i overtrain easily. to be more specific, the routine looks like this:

quads/hams/calves
3 x 8-10 for all exercises
squat
leg press
SLDL
leg curl
calf raise

chest/shoulders/triceps
3 x 6-8 for all exercises

flat bench
incline bench
shoulder press
laterals
dips

back/bi's
rep ranges are a bit different for each exercise

deadlift 3 x 4-6
barbell row 3 x 6-8
seated cable row 3 x 6-8
pullups 2 x 6-8
