You need to let your arms rest to see the results, so now that your arms are worked out, stop working on your arms, let them rest. Work out your legs and stomach, then go back to your arms after they're rested and healed and stronger than ever. Let your arms heal while you start working on something else and then you will see how strong your arms really got. Then after you work out your legs and stomach you go back to your arms while your legs and stomach rest.
That's whats going to be best for you and if the whole world disagrees, the whole world is wrong.
That's an interesting way to see this. While AM does very much for "inner game" SM/WM do a lot towards "outer game". There was somewhere a post where someone said it's good to work on both (like you think). On the other side I get much resistance with SM so I often think a second run AM or at least EPRHA would have been a good idea.
Coming back to your example I wouldn't even see it like doing arms one day and doing legs another day. I would see it more as conditioning workout vs. weight lifting. To get the best of the weight lifting (SM/WM) you need to have a certain amount of basic fitness/condition (AM). If you don't have it the weight lifting wouldn't be that effective because you aren't able to continue the training after one set (just an example) but you can still do it this way if you want. I think it's difficult to find the right balance here, because one person could be fine with doing just one run where another person could need three runs AM to get that basic condition.
