Pull, Push, legs+biceps+forearms
My arms are poo so I think this might help and it seems like too little to just do biceps and forearms as a whole day

Just do push pull, no legs. Legs don't need a separate day. They grow from even small amounts of volume. Which is why 3x5 squats in SS makes people into T-rex. You only need to do some squats or leg press once per week on a push or pull day.
What about incorporating an arm day though? Like push pull arms or something
Oh I have an idea how about this?
Pull/push/pull/push/X/arms+legs/X
It really depends on your schedule and stuff. From my experience to put size on my arms I need to add kg's of muscle mass, I don't think really just working hard + extra volume is enough. Consider how narrow your wrists are and how long your arms are as this is a factor for sure. However, you may as well try. I don't think there is anything wrong with what you posted provided you have 48hrs or so of rest between arms and the next pull day. You could try this too: Lower-Upper(or arms)-Lower-Push-Pull-Rest-Rest
By adding kgs of muscle mass do you just mean bulking?
yes brother i do
That's good then I'm bulking right now anyway
Push/pull/arms/push/pull
Wont doing an arm day in between two days that work the arms be not enough rest?
common problem with ppl and why i switched to arnie split.
chest/back, arms/delts, legs repeat
Is that 3 days a week or do you repeat that throughout the week?
repeat like ppl with a rest day, 6 day split. It also means you're not benching and OHPing on the same day which is another problem I had with PPL
post routine
Routine should be exercises you enjoy. For me I do
Chest/Back
>incline bench
>T-bar row
>Hammer chest machine
>lat pulldown
>dips or any misc chest exercise
>any vertical lat exercise (pullup etc)
>cable flies
>straight arm cable pulldown
Arms/delts
>OHP
>reverse pec deck for rear delts
>lat raise
>preacher hammer curl
>skullies
>machine lat raise
>incline db curls
>cable pushdown
>machine shoulder press
Legs is legs whatever
oh yeah and note: you can superset a lot with this split because you're working opposite muscles, it helps to save time but you don't have to superset
I feel like PPL x Arnold works best for me to fix the small arm problem with PPL as well as turn it into a 5 day split instead of 6. You can do legs on the 6th day if u want, but I think legs are okay to do only once a week.
postin in an 'emmy
I do legs push pull rest and throw every non tricept accessory and ab work into pull day because it's usually the shortest day without them. Like once you've done your weighted pulls, chins and rows (4 sets of each) what else is there to do you've pretty much capped on the lat gains you can expect from a single natty session.
The ppl X Arnold thing interests me
I like doing a heavy compound movement at the start of each workout so Im thinking something like this
Pull/Push/Legs/Chest+Back/Delt+Arms
Deadlift/OHP/Squats/Bench+Rows/OHP/
Does that look good? Ohp is my worst lift so it might make sense to do it more
But then my other idea is this
Pull/Push/Pull/Push/X/Legs+Arms
Deadlift/Bench/Row/OHP/X/Squats
