Most split routines work a certain group or pair of a group of muslces a certain day of the week, like chest/triceps on a certain day. I feel very odd not doing a bench press for an entire week almost. Tomorrow will be my chest+triceps day and I hope I can still lift what I did last week. I used to do it every other day but apparently it's overtraining so it feels like an eternity since I've worked the chest. So over two months or something, should I be seeing more gains than specifically targeting the same muscles more than once a week?
Doing split routines really works??

It's all related to intensity, frequency, and volume. It's hard to say that if you do a certain movement only once a week will it have more effect than twice a week. Most studies have shown that a muscle group worked 2-3 times is more beneficial than just worked once. Personally I think working a muscle group only once a week is kinda silly but that's just me. Generally more training sessions=better stimulus.
What you have to do is kinda do one routine, see how it works and then do another routine and see how it works for you.
