Hi,
I've been training with Scott's push/pull/legs routine that he has on the website for a few weeks now.
Do you think it would be too much to do two push days (push A and C), two pull days (B and C) and two leg days? I wouldn't be doing the two circuits that are in the program as I prefer to do other things for fitness (sport).

Your body will answer that question for you. If you try doing the routine as described, keep note of how your sleep is, your appetite, your strength, and overall body appearance - muscle size and fullness. When you overtrain, the muscular and nervous systems take a beating and if they don't recover enough you will start to feel the effects.
I do 4-day Push/Pull workouts which means all muscles, including legs, are trained twice a week. Sometimes I have to reduce the intensity and volume or take an extra day off if I start to feel over-worked but in general eating right and getting enough rest prevents this from being frequent.

@Andy123456 John is right - try it and see. Are you still in MONTH 1? Because if you look at the calendar, you'll see that your training frequency increases for MONTH 2 & MONTH 3 where you will be doing two workouts for each body part weekly. You can find the calendar on the main page, on the right hand side of the screen, here: http://muscularstrength.com/Push-Pull-Legs
