for bulking you don't really need a separate day just for arms, you're far better off doing an upper/lower split. Just make sure you include all the big lifts, deadlift(which i didn't even see), squat, and benchpress. Use a minimum number of accessory lifts for bulking

agree with shibs, but also want to point out that your diet is giong to be the determinant in how good your gains will be.. check out that forum and read about diet- you won't regret it man

what where ur previous routines?
too many exercises , and how many sets per exercise u wanna do?
if u r a beginer just stick to a simple circuit training 3 days per week with only compound exercises for 2-3 of sets for each.
2 sets 10-12 near failure (as progressive warm up) then 1 set 6-8 until failure

Mon
Squats , bench press , barbell row or T-Bar

wed
deadlift , decline bench press , pull downs or pull ups (switch between close and wide grip)

fri
leg press , incline bench or military press , cable rows or one arm dumbel row

Later on when ur more advanced and established a muscular base, start including some minor muscle groups exercises like arms, abs, forearms and calves.

eat 500 cals more than ur maintenance , and 1 gram of protein per Pound of body weight.

3 days of bench variations per week? That's way too much!
