Also, for a natural trainer it would lead to overtraining.

I like this split. Don't know how it would work for us older guys tho. lifting heavy and not going to failure works well for me. Doing too many sets to failure makes it awful hard to recover.
Do you feel like the cardio helps you recover from the weight training?

Yes I do. With the cardio strength training seems to go smoother.
And the other way around as well.
