the only issue that can come with this is volume and frequency and that is a very personal thing and if you can hot more sessions each week and progress , great. If you feel you need to back off you can either reduce the volume / intensity per session or drop total number of sessions each week !

Try the push, pull lower split and you will be surprised how effective it is.
