Over-working one muscle a day...

Recently my goal has been to increase the size of my arms. I am currently doign a push/pull/rest set-up. To achieve the goal, obviously the muscles I need care about most are the biceps and triceps.

In light of this, on pull days I save bicep curls to the end of my workout and just keep doing sets on dumbells and bar-bells until I can't do any more (usually after about 7 or 8 sets of 8-12 reps). Similarly, on push days I do the over-head tricep extensions last and work them over and over 'till I can't do any more.

My question is, will this actually help make more progress or will it over-work them and somehow hinder progress. Thanks.
 
I don't like your goals but this is what I would do if I had your goals:

Monday
Push press 3x8
Barbell row 3x8
JM press 3x8
Barbell curl 3x8

Friday
Close grip bench press 3x8
Chin up 3x8
Tricep pushdown 3x8
Hammer curl 3x8

If you don't train to failure this should pile mass on to your arms.
