I find the best way to train is to group together body parts as well as grouping movements. So let's say you want to hit chest, most of those workouts are adduction, or extention, most of tricep exercises are as well so I group those together as my "push" day. Most bicep and back exercises are abduction, or retraction, so I group those into a "pull" day. Then I just have legs as it's own category. I've found this to be the best way to group it all together.
You also need to have more total rest days from weight lifting for your body to utilize and recover completely before you go and start breaking down more tissue. Just because you're not working legs, and you've moved to working arms doesn't mean your arms are going to recover the same as if you weren't working out at all. Your body can only do so much repair so fast, and utilize only so much of your nutrients for that cause.
If you want 2 full days off from lifting per week that's ususally sufficient, just don't have them right next to each other 'cause that's 5 days of lifting straight. Also make sure you're getting adequate sleep every night, since that's when a lot of repair takes place.
There's more but my post is too long and I'm starting to get preachy...
