I put arms on lower days to increase its frequency but hope to not compromise recovery

For reference, what’s your current height, weight, and general fat level? Also, what’s your actual current goal? I’m guessing muscle size, but one never knows.
If you’re doing an upper/lower split, then do an upper/lower split. You’re basically doing back/chest/shoulders, legs/arms. Only rank beginners can get away with that (for a short time) because they don’t train with enough intensity and/or volume to do much in the back or leg sessions.
na, dude. I was just having a little fun with you.
Just train your arms on your upper days. Pick one biceps exercise and one triceps exercise and do them in between your shoulder raises, so for example:
-triceps pushdowns superset with lateral raises
-hammer curls superset with rear delt flyes
I know it doesn’t sound like much but honestly that’s all you need.
