I seem to be doing pretty well, actually. I go every other day, doing three work sets of 5 reps each at or around my target weight. My hamstrings are pretty much always sore, but I've recovered enough by the time my next workout rolls around that I am able to push it again. I think spin and jogging on my non-lifting days helps with recovery - I stretch after every workout. I think I am getting close to plateau on this split, though. I will be changing it up within the next few weeks.
I've been following a two-day split for about a month and a half now. Squat, Press and Dead one day, Squat, Bench and Power Clean the other. Lifting Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday. I've put on about 10lbs doing this over the last couple of months, though I'm sure about half of that is fat, since my diet has not been exemplary.
