Even if you wanted to go 4 days a week:

Chest
Legs
Back/Shoulders
Arms

Throw in some Abs here and there and thats enough to get pretty shredded if you are consistent and have a good diet.

Bottom line you need more rest in between hitting the same body part again.
After a certain point, I found I did not progress unless I trained each muscle group about twice per week. I found on a 3 day split it was definitely possible to do that and get enough rest.

At a certain point it becomes a question of balance. Going to the gym 6 days per week is difficult to maintain. I wouldn't say it's a detriment or aromatically amounts to overtraining though.
