I think two days a week is too much, unless it's like one body part that may be lagging.  You have to remember that rest is a good thing, thats when you grow.

You can maybe rotate the 3 day split in a two-on/one-off/two-on pattern. In other words:

M - Chest, delts, tris
T- Back, bis
W - Off
Th - Legs
F - Chest, delts, tris

M - Back, bis
T - Legs
W- Off
Th - Chest, tris
F - Back, bis

And so on. However, hitting everything once a week would probably be better:

M - Chest, delts, tris
T - Off (or cardio)
W - Back, bis
Th - Off
F - Legs

Repeat.

i think any work out plan with chest on a monday is flawed.... the reason for this is everyone ( even the once a week trainers) turn up on a monday to do chest and arms, so unless your in a huge gym, with tons of equipment.....

I have been going old school lately. Day one: Chest and back. Day two: legs and Day Three: back and delts.  Usually make sure I complete a cycle in 5 to 7 days.

My "Fall" membership at the university gym just ran out (even though "Spring" doesn't start for another week) and the assholes won't let me buy any sort of short-term membership or even day passes even though I'll only be there for another 10 days.  It's the only gym in town since the local Gold's closed down, so my workout for the next week or two is this:

Monday: Off
Tuesday: Off
Wednesday: Off
Thursday: Off
Friday: Off
Saturday: Off
Sunday: Off
