It'll work great if you can recover and train the same muscle group again in 2 days as you have planned.
Are you planning on increasing the weight workout to workout or week to week?
Eventually you'll need more rest then hitting the same muscle 3 times/week, as the weight gets heavier. But try it and see how often you can progress.

I like the look of that tbh, and may steal it lol
You'd have to eat a hell of alot to recover, but I'd be up for trying it out

Make sure to eat plenty if you want size.

bordering the lines of overtraining, personally when i go to the gym, i kill it every time, i always lift more than i did the last time i worked that muscle group so it's only healthy to give more than 48 hours for full recovery before you go work it again. Maybe you recover faster than me or don't push yourself in the gym, i do legs monday and my legs would laugh in my face if i asked them to do squats again on wednesday. think about it bud

I think that you should stick to training one body part per week. I know that for me it takes at least 2-3 days to recover after a workout. Also, I stay in the rep range of 5-7.

*3. You should rethink the whole Full Body Workout, that used mostly for athletes.
*2. No Need for Benching, Squating, and Deadlift 3 times a week..it is actually pointless because you are not giving your body enough rest, your killing your chest and your legs can probably take it but its still pointless.
* Your ab workout is a waste no need for 30 reps if ur doing it right and with a weightplate or weightbelt, or even useing the proper device (Stability Ball, Decline Bench, Crunch Machine with weight resistance.)
*4 Your body will get used to this regime quick.

Ludicrous
Full body is the way to go for muscle mass unless you are already an experienced body builder or have been in amateur competitions.
Squatting three days a week is perfect...Heard of Madcow's 5x5?
