Train next day, same muscles much lighter high rep load?

[Lone Traveler]

I'd like to add circuit training on off days. I'm wondering if i can work the same muscle areas with a much lighter high rep load the next day after training? Or is that too much?

Some routines will do it later in week.
Ex. Day1 legs heavy, day2 upper light, day 3 off , day4 legs light, day5 upper heavy.

Or this
Day1.heavy squats
Day2. Heavy push
Day3. Heavy pull
Day4. Off
Day5. Light high rep full body for recovery.
Day6. Off
Day7. Off

Or something like that. But all of them I found were on Olympic and power lifting websites usually for advanced lifters and only focusing on a few major lifts. But I'm sure if you tinkered with it you could make it work and still not over train as long as you have enough rest days between.
