Also diet and rest patterns will have an impact in overtraining or not.

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

Not neccesarily.
I'm training twice a day 6 days a week:

mon lower body (AM), upper body(PM)
tue rowing (AM), cycling(PM)
wed lower body (AM), upper body(PM)
thu rowing (AM), cycling(PM)
fri lower body (AM), upper body(PM)
sat rowing (AM), cycling(PM)

and am not overtraining.
More strength type training though than bodybuilding (hypertrophy) type training (meaning: heavy weights, low reps, low volume not to failure)

Are you a drug-free athlete? And kind of sport are you in?

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.
