I only do arms 1 day a week. I am using heavy weight right now, but I am trying to build muscle. You might want to consider using light weight, high reps for muscle strength instead of mass.
When I used to workout about 4-5 years ago my arms would get more muscle than I liked. I'm only doing my arms about once a week.
