too much bicep?

my splits goes chest tris, back, rest, shoulders, legs off off

so i was going to go do 4 sets ( 2 preacher curls, 2 hammer curls) on back day (tuesday), then on leg day (friday) do 2 sets of barbell curls and 2 sets of dumbell curls and one machine drop set curl... is this too much bicep? im not taking creatine, eating alot and often.. seemingly getting plenty of rest.. my reps are generally 6 - 10 for biceps

It may depend on your age. I am probably a bit older and I would still be recovering on that kind of split. Well, of course I hit the biceps very hard with 8-12 sets so this may account for the slower recovery too. Give it a try and see how much your strength falls off on the 2nd biceps day.

that's a lot of bicep work (for me), but you can always try it for a month and see if you respond.
