I train arms twice a week as I struggle to get them to grow.this seems to be working.i have trained legs twice per week when I used to do push,pull legs routine.personally I didn't like it as if you do legs properly then I'm sore for days and the next session was always half arsed.if your looking to burn calories I'd just do some extra cardio.no harm in trying it tho if you want.

i also train my arms twice a week

triceps with chest
biceps with back

and again at the end of the week bi's and tri's together

as said if your training legs hard enough you wont need to do them twice
as they will need longer to recover being a big muscle group

I used to train my arms twice a week too as I was strugling to get bigger than 16.5 inch,I changed my training around to
bis and tris Mon
legs and calves Tues
Wed off
chest and shoulder Thurs
Back and traps Frid

doing it this way I feel Iam resting certain body parts quite well and say id iam really tired so Thursday I can have a day off and train Frid and Sat instead
I feel like dropping in an extra leg session in on Friday as having Wednesday off I feel fully rested.my thoughts are train legs again as it really gives you an all over workout and then the weekend off to recover

Theres no harm in trying for a month or so and see how you get on.what i used to do was go balls out with my first leg workout and then on the Friday do higher reps and really burn them out.like 20 reps at 80kg etc an then same again on the leg extensions etc.
