I would suggest against doing your chest and arms on the same day. Yes some people like to hit them both at the same time for various reasons but -
Look at compound exercises; they will use some of the same muscles for different muscle group exercises. In other words, when you do a bench press you engage your back, shoulders, triceps and chest. A pullup will engage your back, biceps, chest and obliques etc. Because recovery time is so important its equally as important to incorporate a program that can give you the most amount of time in between engaging the same muscles. Take into consideration that even though these muscles are engaged they're not targeted, so the stress does not fall directly on them, but nonetheless, they're being used so I like to be as fresh as possible doing any and all lifting and this is something I've been doing and has been working quite well as far as gains and overall progress.
Day 1 - Chest/Shoulders
Day 2 - Legs
Day 3 - OFF
Day 4 - Arms
Day 5 - OFF
Day 6 - Back
Day 7 - OFF
Arms and chest/shoulders are 2 and 3 days apart. Off days can consist of some cardio, or some anaerobic exercises if you wish, although I would suggest against that on the day following a leg routine as you want to rest your legs as much as possible. These are just some suggestions. Good luck!
