depends on your routine, i personally only work them once a week since they are also worked indirectly when you do back and chest on certain exercises. For example, the bench press also puts emphasis on the triceps whereas CG Pulldowns or Pullups work the biceps even though you are not working them that day. Just be careful of overtraining.

if you break up the volume, in other words if you normally do 6 sets for biceps do 3 sets each day.

One day a week low rep high intensity....ie 6-8 sets of biceps 6-8 reps 50% of sets to failure.
The other day 2-3 sets high reps 15-20...no sets to failure. That is ok IMO. |

It's okay to work out muscles multiple times per week. Just ensure that you adjust your volume per workout accordingly. I currently do full body routines 2-3 times per week.

The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...
