Yah, thats cool.
But what will spoil things is lack of intensity.
And with that comes a price with over training.

Push pull routines would incourperate common muscle groups.
Like, chest, shoulders and triceps for the push.
Back and biceps for the pull
Legs
But I like the idea of using legs to split the push pull.

With some intensity you will need rest.

You can't hammer day in and day out without rest. This is where overtraining lies.
So, it would be actually better to undertrain rather than overtrain.
Pick basic compound lifts and you will never go wrong for developing strength and size.
