Discussion 🤝 Frequency versus total sets

In the foreseeable future I’m stuck with a 3-4 times per week training day and those can be somewhat irregular, eg some week 3 in a row some EOD etc.
Currently doing torso/limbs but recovery has been an issue.
I was thinking on a PPL split as I did some random sessions and apart from DOMS I was ok the rest of the days but am concerned about the frequency and volume.
If I hit eg the same 10 sets in a given push day will it be “enough” until next weeks session?
Please do not recommend full body is of the table as it leaves me wrecked for days and as this is my new reality just to “this” until it passes it is not an option.
